Ramsey Winch TR-5000 12 V - Manual (Page 3)

Installation
The TR5000 winch must be mounted on a
level surface, with the cable under wound as
shown in the drawing below. Use the dimen-
sional drawing below to determine a mount-
ing location. Use (4) 3/8-16NC SAE Grade 5
or better bolts to mount the mounting plate to
the surface where the TR5000 will be in-
stalled. Tighten these bolts to 23 ft-lbs (17
Nm) torque.
Connect the Red battery lead from the sole-
noid to the Positive (+) terminal of a 12V bat-
tery or other 12V power source. Connect the
Black battery lead to the Negative (-) termi-
nal, to the ground bolt located at the bottom
of the motor. The amp draw for the winch is
shown in the table on the first page. Make
sure that the battery or power source is suffi-
cient to operate the winch.
Techniques of Operation
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch
operates is to make a few test runs before you actu-
ally need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Re-
member you hear your winch as well as see it oper-
ate. Get to recognize the sound of light steady pull,
a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or
shifting. Soon you will gain confidence in operating
your winch and its use will become second nature
with you.
When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket, jacket
or tarpaulin over the cable five or six feet from the
hook. It will slow the snap back in the event of a bro-
ken cable.
