Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch available in its service class. It fea-
tures a highly efficient 3 stage planetary gear set which transmits torque
from a series wound DC motor. A safe positive clutch allows free spooling
for quick cable deployment. An automatic load holding brake is designed to
hold the fully rated capacity of the winch. It was designed and manufactured
to provide you with the utmost in utility. As with any device that combines
power and movement in its use, there are dangers if improperly used. At the
same time, there are easier ways for getting the job done if certain precau-
tions are taken first.
Please read this manual carefully. It contains useful ideas in obtaining the
most efficient operation from your Ramsey Winch and safety procedures
you need to know before beginning use. When you follow our guidelines for
operation, your Ramsey Winch will give you many years of satisfying serv-
ice. Thank you for choosing Ramsey. You will be glad you have one working
for you.
CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before installation and operation of winch. See Safety Precautions!
