WINCH MOUNTING

ESSENTIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS TO MAINTAIN
ALIGNMENT OF PLANETARY WINCH COMPONENTS:
I
t is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that
the three major sections (the motor end, the rope drum, and the
gear housing end) are properly aligned. Excessive bushing wear
and difficulty in freespooling are usually symptoms of
misalignment.
In the as-installed condition, if the winch is mid-mounted, then
at least one tie-plate must be attached to the mounting feet at
the bottom of the winch to maintain alignment. If the winch is
foot mounted then at least one tie-plate must remain mounted at
midpoint of winch to maintain alignment. It is always preferred
to used BOTH tie-plates in the final installed configuration.
Angle Mounting Kit, P/N 251006 (for Std. Drum) or 251007 (for
"Y" drum), is recommended for maximum ease in mounting the
winch. The angle kit will allow the winch to be mounted in
upright or midmount applications and will meet the criteria of
serving as a solid and true mounting surface.
When mounting the winch with other than the recommended
Ramsey Angle Kit, the mounting hole patterns described in the
Dimensional drawings on pages 11-13 should be used. The
mounting surface must be flat within 0,38 mm (.015 in) and
sufficiently stiff to resist flexing. If a steel plate is used for foot
mounting, it should be 19,05 mm (.75 in) thick. For this
mounting application eight (8) 1/2-13NC x 1-1/2" long grade 5
capscrews with lockwashers will be needed to mount winch. Capscrews should be tightened to 115 Nm (85 ft-lb) torque.
NOTE: If angles or a steel plate are used in mounting winch, tie-plates provided with winch are to be attached to the remaining mounting
pads, whether they be side or foot.

ROPE INSTALLATION

An "A" or "B" decal on the clutch end bearing indicates the spooling direction of the rope. Also, a letter "A" or "B" is stamped in the end
bearing on the clutch end indicating rotation direction. If the decal is damaged or unreadable, contact Customer Service for additional
instructions to determine proper direction. To reverse the rotation direction, exchange positions of the cartridge and plug shown on
page 5.
1. Unwind rope by rolling it out along the ground
to prevent kinking. Securely wrap end of
rope, opposite hook, with plastic or similar
tape to prevent fraying.
2. Slide the wire rope through narrow end of the
pocket against the drum flange. Wrap the
wire rope around on the anchor "puck" (item
#19) and pull the wire rope and anchor back
into the wide end of the pocket. Use a soft
hammer to drive the back side of the wire
rope, firmly seating the wire rope and anchor
into the pocket.
3. Carefully run winch in the "reel-in" direction.
Keeping tension on end of rope, spool all the
rope onto the rope drum, taking care to form
neatly wrapped layers.
After installing rope, check freespool
operation. Disengage clutch and pull on rope
at a walking speed. If rope "birdnests",
loosen jam nut (item #20) and turn nylon
setscrew (item #17) clockwise to increase drag on drum. If rope pull is excessive, loosen nylon setscrew by turning counterclockwise.
Tighten jam nut when proper setting is obtained.
CAUTION: OVER-TIGHTENING OF JAM NUT MAY STRIP NYLON SETSCREW.
CAUTION: If longer bolts (minimum grade 5) are substituted to mount winch or to
mount a roller guide at the side mount pads, bolt length must be such as to allow a
minimum of 12,7mm (.50 in) thread length engagement in the tapped holes in side of
each end bearing. Use of excessive length bolts will damage the winch and prevent
freespool of the drum. Torque bolts to 75 Nm (55 ft-lb).
