Ramsey Winch REP 6000/8000T - Manual (Page 4)

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 REP 6000T and REP 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 recommended that
Ramsey mounting channels be used in all non-Ramsey mount-
ing.
When mounting REP 6000T and REP 8000T winch, attach
solenoid wires to motor terminals at end of motor. TIGHTEN
NUTS ON MOTOR TERMINALS SECURELY (see FIGURE 1).
Attach solenoid to mounting holes at end of long channel (see
FIGURE 1) or use solenoid clamp to attach solenoid assembly
to winch motor (see FIGURE 2). Position solenoid at about a 45
degree angle for clearance of lower winch guard tube of kit.
TIGHTEN CLAMP SECURELY.
Attach fairlead to channel using hardware furnished with winch
(SEE figure 3). Attach winch to channel. Place (4) flatwashers
and nuts into pockets of winch mounting feet and thread cap-
screws with lockwahers through mounting holes in channel and
into hardware in winch feet (see FIGURE 3).
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 drum cable through fairlead and attach cable hook.
Use clevis pin and cotter pin (see FIGURE 3).
