Ram-Lok ® Air-Shifter Clutch Operations
The Ram-Lok ® air-shifter clutch allows rapid unspooling of the cable, from cable drum, for hooking
onto the load. The clutch is operated by an air cylinder as follows:
TO DISENGAGE CLUTCH, run the winch in the reverse (reel out) direction until the load is off
the cable. Apply 60-125 PSI to inlet port fitting of air cylinder.
TO ENGAGE CLUTCH, remove air pressure from air cylinder. Run the winch in reverse until
the cable drum starts turning. The plastic plug in top of clutch housing may be removed, for
inspection of clutch to assure total engagement. After the clutch is fully engaged, the winch is
ready for winching in the cable.
