INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MODEL 6 LEVEL WINDER
KIT #256104
This Level Winder is designed specifically for the Ramsey Winch Model 600 Series Winches,
with standard length drums. These Models are 11.75 inches between drum flanges.
NOTE: If level winder is being installed on a car carrier (rollback), it is necessary to also
install Ramsey roller guide kit, part no. 256049. Failure to do so may cause damage or
breakage to the winch level winder or vehicle.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Disengage the winch clutch and free spool all the cable off the winch and lay it in a line on the
ground behind the truck. Disconnect the end of the cable from the cable drum anchor. Drill .531
diameter holes through the horizontal flange of the forward most winch mounting angle as
shown in FIGURE 1.
Insert the spring retainer into the springs so that the cleat at the center of the retainer will extend
toward the vehicle cab when the assembly is in place. Slide the retainer into the spring so that
the hole in the center of the retainer lines up with the hold down loop in the center of the spring.
Position the hole in the center of the retainer over the .531 diameter hole previously drilled in the
flange of the winch mounting angle. Loosely attach the spring retainer and spring to the flange
of the winch mounting angle using the 1/2 inch diameter capscrew, nut and lockwasher. After
making sure the spring and spring retainer are aligned squarely with the winch, as shown in
FIGURE 2, install the other capscrew, nut, and lockwasher through the other hole, and tighten
both capscrews securely so that the spring is clamped hard down onto the mounting surface.
NOTE: The surface to which the spring is bolted must be 2.38 ± .50 inch above the
centerline of winch mounting bolts. See FIGURE 2, VIEW A-A.
