Installation
The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and exclu-
sively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial applica-
tions. All other applications will void warranty.
NOTE: For specific bull-bar applications, the shifter lever on
the winch may need to be repositioned. Refer to pages 6-7 for
instructions in how to do this.
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat sur-
face so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable
drum, and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. It is
recommended that Ramsey kits be used to mount the winch.
They are designed to align the winch and distribute up to the
full rated load evenly, to avoid possible damage to the winch
or vehicle.
NOTE: If recommended mounting is not used, a kit of equal
design must be used.
Also available for mounting the Profile 6000T and 8000T are
the following winch mounting channels:
• #251126 short length (23.63”) black
• #251127 medium length (30.00”) black
• #251128 long length (36.00”) black
It is recommended that Ramsey mounting channels be used
with all non-Ramsey mounting.
For mounting the winch with a standard mounting channel,
such as those available from Ramsey, use (4) 1-1/4” long
mounting bolts as shown below.
* In specific Bull Bar installations, (2) 1-3/4” long bolts
(included) may need to be substituted for 1-1/4” bolts to
mount the winch properly. Refer to Detail A below: if the
mounting thickness (dimension A) is .25” or less, use 1-
1/4” long bolts. If dimension A is greater than .25”, you
should use 1-3/4” long bolts. If dimension A is between
.25” and .56”, washers may need to be added to the 1-
3/4” bolts to prevent the end of the bolt from hitting the
winch foot, as shown in Detail B.
Do not use the longer bolts unless needed. Using bolts
that are too long may cause damage to the winch. After
tightening mounting bolts, confirm that they have sufficient
clearance (see Detail B) above the end of the bolt. Some
thread should be visible above the nut.
** For mounting to Bull Bar, the roller fairlead may need to
be rotated 180° to ensure proper alignment to drum.
