Installation - RAMSEY WINCH REP 8000 El Manual Del Propietario

Installation

The winches shown in this owner's manual are solely and exclu-
sively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial applications.
All other applications will void warranty.
Note: For specific bull-bar applications, the shifter lever on the
winch may need to be repositioned. Refer to pages 7-8 for
instructions in how to do this.
It is very important that the winch be mounted on a flat surface
so that the three major sections (the motor end, the cable drum
and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. It is recommend-
ed that Ramsey kits be used to mount the winch. They are
designed to align the winch and distribute up to the full rated
load evenly, to avoid possible damage to the winch or vehicle.
Note: If recommended mounting is not used, a kit of equal
design must be used.
Also available for mounting the REP winches are winch mounting
channels, short length (23.63") #251126 (black), medium
length (30.00") #251127 (black) and long length (36.00")
#251128 (black). It is recommended that a Ramsey mounting
channel be used in all non-Ramsey mountings.
Note: See the following separate sections for attaching the
wiring to the motor and solenoid for the REP 8000, REP 9000
12V, and REP 9000 24V models. The combined installation
instructions resume on the following page.
REP 8000/9000 12V
When mounting winch, connect labeled motor leads coming from
solenoid assembly to appropriately marked motor terminals as
shown in FIGURE 3. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR TERMINALS
SECURELY (see FIGURE 2). Attach solenoid ground wire to
grounding bolt located at bottom of motor (Battery ground wire is
already installed to grounding bolt on motor.)
Use solenoid clamp, as shown in FIGURE 1, to secure solenoid
assembly to winch motor. If installing in combo mounting kit,
position at about a 45° angle for clearance of lower winch guard
tube in kit. Be sure that clamp is clear of motor terminals at bot-
tom of motor. TIGHTEN CLAMP SECURELY.
REP 9000 24V
When mounting winch, connect labeled motor leads coming from
solenoid assembly to appropriately marked motor terminals as
shown in FIGURE 4. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR TERMINALS.
Attach solenoid ground to #10 Capscrew located on vertical sur-
face of motor end bearing (See FIGURE 4). Use solenoid clamp,
as shown in FIGURE 1, to secure solenoid assembly to winch
motor. If installing in combo mounting kit, position at about a 45°
angle for clearance of lower winch guard tube in kit. Be sure that
clamp is clear of motor terminals at bottom of motor. TIGHTEN
CLAMP SECURELY.
