Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch available in its service
class. The REP 8000e features a highly efficient 3-stage plan-
etary gear set. It transmits torque from a permanent magnet
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. It 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 improperly 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 effi-
cient operation from your Ramsey Winch and safety proce-
dures you need to know before beginning use. When you fol-
low 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 REP 8000e Series winch is
designed for front mount vehicle use. It is not designed
for and should not be used in industrial applications
(car haulers/carriers, wreckers, hoisting, etc.), and
Ramsey does not warrant it to be suitable for such use.
Ramsey makes a separate, complete line of winches for
industrial/commercial use. Please contact the factory
for further information.
