Installation
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat surface
so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable drum,
and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. It is recom-
mended 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 ProPlus 6000T and ProPlus
8000T are winch mounting channels, short length (23.63”)
#408052 (black), medium length (30.00”) #408120 (black),
and long length (36.00”) #408101 (black). It is recommend-
ed that Ramsey mounting channels be used in all non-Ramsey
mounting.
Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with winch.
Attach winch to channel. Place (4) flatwashers and nuts into
pockets of winch mounting feet and thread capscrews with
lockwahers through mounting holes in channel and into hard-
ware in winch feet (see FIGURE 1).
Substitution of attaching hardware items (bolts, nuts, or wash-
ers) different from those supplied with your winch and mount-
ing kit can lead to failure causing damage or serious injury (use
SAE grade 5 bolts or better and torque to 34 ft. lbs.).
Place end of wire rope through fairlead and attach cable hook.
Use clevis pin and cotter pin (see FIGURE 1).
