FREE SPOOLING
Ram-Lock Clutch
To release clutch, power out winch until tension is released from cable. Pull out handle on
side of casing and turn 90°. To re-engage, turn lever back to horizontal position. Turn drum
slowly by pulling out cable. The handle, which is spring-loaded, will automatically re-
engage. Ensure that handle is fully engaged before imposing load on winch.
Capacities
The Ramsey Winch is rated at 3630kg (8000lbs) and this refers to its safe working load,
measured as the force being applied to the winch in a horizontal place. As in the case of
all winches, this refers to the first layer of rope on the drum.
SERVICE/MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Externally:
The winch should be kept clean in order to prevent any build up on corrosion on external
working parts.
Greasing of roller guides (if fitted) at grease points (one for each roller).
Also check for:
Rollers revolving
Slight or deep grooving
Excessive wear on rollers
NOTE:
If roller guides are worn excessively, wire rope life will be reduced and roller guides should
be replaced.
Check winch for external damage.
Check winch mounting for distortion and re-tighten mounting bolts if necessary.
Operate free spool clutch mechanism to ensure correct operation, giving full engagement
and disengagement.
All external-moving parts should be lubricated with lightweight oil.
Check oil level in gearbox and replenish with EP90 gear oil.
Yearly maintenance
In addition to the above maintenance change the oil in winch gearbox and spur box. Refill
to oil level plugs.
