Ramsey Winch RE8000 Owner's Manual page 18

The Ramsey Winch motor is a 4 pole, 4 coil
series wound 12 volt or 24 volt DC motor.
The 4 pole, 4 coil feature provides high
torque at low speeds.
To test the motor to determine if it is function-
ing properly, fi rst securely fasten the motor
to a bench or work surface so it will not jump
or move around during test procedure (the
starting torque of motor is high).
1. Connect a jumper wire (at least a number
6 wire) from F-1 to A motor terminals (See
Figure1).
2. Attach a wire (at least a number 6 wire)
from positive(+) battery terminal to F-2
motor terminal. Ground negative(-) battery
terminal to motor isolated ground terminal
(See Figure 1).
Motor should now run.
To reverse the direction of rotation:
1. Attach jumper wire from F-2 to (A) motor
terminals (See Figure 2).
2. Attach wire from positive(+) battery termi-
nal to F-1 motor terminal. Ground nega-
tive(-) battery terminal to motor isolated
ground terminal (See Figure 2).

NOTE: Always attach battery wire solidly
to motor terminals. Make and break the
connection of the negative (-) battery termi-
nal at the motor isolated ground terminal.
This avoids burning the motor terminals.
CAUTION: Do not run the motor for a long
period of time in fashioned above, because
the motor could become damaged. The
motor running idle on the bench will draw
55 amperes and must run free and easy.
If the ampere draw is more than 60 amps
and the motor runs rough or has a strange
sound, it should be replaced.
With the motor attached in place on a
winch (less cable on drum) the ampere
draw should be approximately 65 to 70
amps. If after following the procedure
outlined, the test on the winch signifi cantly
exceeds 70 amperes refer to your Owners
Manual for troubleshooting suggestions on
the mechanical portion of the winch.
See Figure 3 for the solenoids connection
to the motor and battery.
