Operating Instructions

The clutch provides free spooling and clutch

engagement with cable drum. With the clutch

disengaged, the cable can be pulled off the drum by

hand. For winching in the load, the clutch must be

fully engaged with the drum.

To disengage the clutch, run the winch in the

reverse (Reel Out) direction until the load is off the

cable and the cable drum stops turning. Pull

outward on the clutch handle, rotate it to the

disengaged position and release. The clutch is now

locked out and the cable may be pulled off by hand.

(Note: If the clutch handle can not be pulled out,

again run the winch momentarily in reverse to

relieve pressure on the clutch.) Warning: Do not

attempt to disengage the clutch when there is a

load on the cable.

To engage the clutch, rotate the handle to the

engaged position and release. Run the winch in

reverse until the clutch handle snaps fully in or until

the cable drum starts turning. At this point make

sure the clutch handle is all the way in. After the

clutch is fully engaged, the winch is ready for

winching in the cable.

Electrical Connections and

Operation

For normal self recovery work, your existing

electrical system is adequate. Your battery should

be kept in good condition. A fully charged battery

and proper connections are essential. Run the

vehicle engine during winching operations to keep

the battery charged.

Route battery cables up to battery. C

AUTION: BE

SURE BATTERY CABLES ARE NOT DRAWN TAUT ACROSS

ANY SURFACES WHICH COULD POSSIBLY DAMAGE

THEM

. Connect red cable to positive (+) battery

terminal. Connect black ground cable to negative (-)

battery terminal (See Figure 1).

Models Equipped with Push Button Remote

Control Switch

The remote control switch is water proof. It has push

buttons on either side. Make sure the motor has

stopped fully before reversing. To actuate winch

simply plug remote switch into receptacle in cover of

winch. Run winch forward and reverse to check

connection and to determine winch operating

directions. Snap appropriate “IN” and “OUT” disc

into proper thumb cavity. Do not leave switch

plugged in when winch is not in use.

Models Equipped with Wireless Remote Control

See Installation and Operating Instructions for

Ramsey Universal Remote Control No. OM-914057

included with wireless remote.

Maintenance

Check monthly the action of the clutch, making sure

it is fully engaging and disengaging. If clutch is not

fully engaging, inspect clutch shifter assembly parts,

check for damage or excessive wear and replace as

necessary.

Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce

performance or may cause a short. Clean all

connections especially in the remote control switch

and receptacle. In salty environments use a silicone

sealer to protect from corrosion.

To minimize corrosion of the internal motor

components that may occur due to condensation,

power the winch in or out periodically. Energizing

the motor will generate heat, which will help

dissipate any moisture buildup in the motor. This

should be performed at periodic intervals (such as

with each oil change to your vehicle). Note: Refer to

the Troubleshooting Guide if the motor has been

submerged.

All moving parts in the winch are permanently

lubricated with Mobilith SHC 007 synthetic grease at

the time of assembly. Under normal conditions

factory lubrication will suffice.

Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating

oil. Inspect for broken strands and replace if

necessary. If the cable becomes worn or damaged,

it must be replaced.

Cable Installation

1. Unwind cable by rolling it out along the ground

to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of cable,

opposite hook, with plastic or similar tape to

prevent fraying.

2. Insert the end of cable, opposite hook end,

under drum and into the ½” diameter hole in

drum barrel. Secure cable to drum barrel, using

setscrew furnished with winch. T

IGHTEN

SETSCREW SECURELY

3. Carefully run winch in the “reel-in” direction.

Keeping tension on end of cable, spool all the

cable onto drum, taking care to form neatly

wrapped layers.

Inspect the cable frequently. If the cable becomes

frayed with broken strands, replace immediately.

Cable and hook assemblies may be purchased from

a Ramsey distributor.
