Ramsey Winch REP 8000 & 9000 User Manual
Page 3
Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch available in its service
class. The REP 8000 and REP 9000 feature a highly efficient
3 stage planetary gear set. The REP 8000 and 9000 transmits
torque from a series wound D.C. motor. A safe positive clutch
allows free spooling for quick cable deployment. An automatic
load holding brake is designed to hold the full rated capacity
of the winch.
This winch was designed and manufactured to provide you
with the utmost in utility. As with any device that combines
power and movement in its use, there are dangers if improp-
erly used. At the same time, there are easier and faster ways
for getting the job done if certain precautions are taken first.
Please read this manual carefully. It contains useful ideas in
obtaining the most efficient operation from your Ramsey
Winch and safety procedures you need to know before begin-
ning use. When you follow our guidelines for operation, your
Ramsey Winch will give you many years of satisfying service.
Thank you for choosing Ramsey. You will be glad you have
one working for you.
Please Note: Ramsey REP8000 and REP9000 Series
winches are designed for front mount vehicle use. The
winches are not designed for and should not be used in
industrial applications (car haulers/carriers, wreckers,
hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant them to be
suitable for such use. Ramsey makes a separate, com-
plete line of winches for industrial/commercial use.
Please contact the factory for further information.
