Ramsey Winch LEVEL WINDER 5 256082 User Manual
Page 2
NOTE: The surface to which the springs are bolted must be above the centerline of the drum
barrel as shown in FIG. 2, SECTION A-A.
Insert the end of the cable into the opening of the tensioner so that it passes under the center cross bar
and over the front cross bar and install the cable into the cable anchor. A pry bar will be necessary to lift
up cable tensioner. Engage the clutch and run the winch in the reel in direction winding about five
wraps of cable onto the drum and stop. Using a hammer tap these five wraps tightly over against the
cable anchor flange of the cable drum. Finish winding all the cable onto the cable drum. As cable winds
onto the drum, watch the tensioner. Tensioner must be free to move without obstruction to function
properly. If tensioner touches any surrounding structure, correct the problem.
CAUTION: STOP REEL IN OF CABLE BEFORE THIMBLE/HOOK ENTERS LEVEL WINDER.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR BREAKAGE TO THE WINCH, LEVEL WINDER, OR
VEHICLE.
OPERATION
Lay cable out in a straight line behind the truck to prevent kinking before beginning to wind in. It is not
necessary to walk in with the cable, let your Level Winder do the work.
