Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch available
in its service class. It features a highly efficient
3 stage planetary gear set which transmits
torque from a permanent magnet motor. A safe
positive clutch allows free spooling for quick
cable deployment. Your Ramsey winch 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 and faster
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 service.
Thank you for choosing Ramsey. You will be
glad you have one working for you.

designed primarily for ATV use. This winch is

etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant it to be

commercial use. Please contact the factory for
