Please Note: Ramsey REP6000, REP8000 and REP9000 Series winches are designed for front mount vehicle use. The winches are not designed for and should not be used in industrial applications (car haulers/carriers, wreckers, hoisting, etc.), and Ramsey does not warrant them to be suitable for such use. Ramsey makes a separate, complete line of winches for industrial/commercial use. Please contact the factory for further information.
CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before installation and operation of winch. See Safety Precautions.
remote control switch with the other, starting as far back and in the center as you can, walking up keeping load on the cable as the winch is powered in. Do not allow the cable to slip through your hand and do not approach the winch too closely. Turn off the winch and repeat the procedure until all the cable except a few feet is in. Disconnect the remote control switch and finish spooling in cable by rotating the drum by hand with clutch disengaged. On hidden winches, spool in cable under power using supplied hook strap.
Since the greatest pulling power is achieved on the innermost layer of your winch, it is desirable to pull off as much line as you can for heavy pulls (remember, you must leave 5 wraps min. on the drum). If this is not practical, use a snatch block and double line arrangement (see illustration). Neat, tight spooling avoids cable binding, which is caused when a load is applied and the cable is pinched between two others. If this happens, alternately power the winch in and out a few inches. Do not attempt to work a bound cable under load; free by hand.
For basic self-recovery, anchor to a tree or heavy rock. When anchoring to a tree, always use a tree trunk protector.
Stakes driven in solid earth and chained together make a good anchor point for self-recovery when no solid anchor point is available.
Winches equipped with cable guide fairleads can pull from several directions. Pull from an angle only to straighten up the vehicle-otherwise you can damage structural members or other parts of your vehicle and cause excess cable buildup on one end of the winch drum.
For a direct pull of 2000 lbs., hitch truck to a tree or solid anchor, and take out of gear.
Techniques of Operation
The best way to get acquainted with how your winch operates is to make a few test runs before you actually need to use it. Plan your test in advance. Remember you hear your winch as well as see it operate. Get to recognize the sound of light steady pull, a heavy pull, and sounds caused by load jerking or shifting. Soon you will gain confidence in operating your winch and its use will become second nature with you. Your winch will not only pull your vehicle up or ease your vehicle down a steep grade, it will also pull another vehicle or a load while your vehicle is anchored in a stationary position. The following sketches show you a few techniques. When pulling a heavy load, place a blanket, jacket or tarpaulin over the cable five or six feet from the hook. It will slow the snap back in the event of a broken cable. Also open the vehicle hood for additional protection.
For a solid anchor, bury a log with earth or sand or place it in a deep ravine.
To double the pull, use 2-part line with snatch block and tie off to chassis. Take out of gear.
Use the vehicle wheel power to help the winch, but don't overtake the winch line. Plan your pull. You can't always hook up and pull out in one step. Examine all the areas for anchoring possibilities as well as leverage situations, direction and goal.
Installation
The winches shown in this owner's manual are solely and exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, nonindustrial 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 recommended 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") #408052 (black), medium length (30.00") #408120 (black) and long length (36.00") #408101 (black). It is recommended that a Ramsey mounting channel be used in all nonRamsey mountings. Note: See the following separate sections for attaching the wiring to the motor and solenoid for the REP 6000, and REP 8000 and REP 9000 12V and 24V models. The combined installation instructions resume on the following page. REP 6000 When mounting winch, attach solenoid wires to motor terminals at end of motor. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR TERMINALS SECURELY. Use solenoid clamp to attach solenoid assembly to winch motor (see FIGURE 1). Position solenoid at about a 45 angle for clearance of lower winch guard tube of kit. TIGHTEN CLAMP SECURELY.
REP 8000 12V & 24V/9000 12V When mounting winch, connect labeled motor leads coming from solenoid assembly to appropriately marked motor terminals. TIGHTEN NUTS ON MOTOR TERMINALS SECURELY (see FIGURE 3). Attach solenoid ground wire to grounding bolt located at bottom of motor (See FIGURE 2). 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. TIGHTEN CLAMP SECURELY.

5. Determine position shifter knob needs to be for your application. Note: Shifter knob cannot be positioned too low or it will interfere with the feet on the Gear End Bearing (see Range of Position in Figure 10). 6. To position the shifter knob, place locking ring in end bearing with stop post approximately 180 from where shifter knob needs to be positioned. Place cam ring over locking ring in proper position and confirm that shifter knob will move from engaged to disengaged position without interference. Mark position of stop post on end bearing.
FIGURE 10
7. Remove cam ring and locking ring from end bearing. Insert springs (item #38) into end bearing. When you replace the locking ring (item #34) over the springs, be sure the springs compress down into their recesses, and dont bend sideways. 8. Reassemble Gear Housing as shown in Figure 8. Make sure locking ring is positioned with stop post at marked location. The capscrews (item #38) for the retainer should be tightened to 40-45 in-lbs. Do not over-tighten. 9. Place Gear Housing over the stacked gears, etc. that you removed in step 3. Gently work the housing over the stack, turning it as needed to mesh the planetary gears with the ring gear in the housing. Once they are all in the housing, flip the assembly over. Align the Gear Housing Cover and gasket with the holes in the ring gear. Replace the (6) capscrews that hold the Gear Housing Cover onto the Gear Housing. Tighten securely. 10.Move the Shifter to the Disengaged position. 11.Turn the Gear Housing over and set it on the work bench with the Gear Housing Cover down. See Figure 11. 12.Install the drum bushing into the Gear Housing, confirming that the slot in the bushing is aligned with the key in the end bearing. Pick up the rest of the winch (drum and motor end), and holding the drum, lower the winch onto the gear end. Stab the shaft into the gear end--you may need to turn the drum slightly to get the shaft to go all the way in. 13.Place the tiebars on the motor end and gear end and fasten using (4) screws. Tighten securely.
FIGURE 11
14.Once the winch is reassembled, turn it so that it is sitting on its feet. Confirm that the cable will freespool when the shifter is in the Disengaged position. Connect up the winch temporarily and confirm that the cable spools when the shifter is in the Engaged position.
Maintenance
All moving parts in the winch are permanently lubricated with high temperature lithium grease at the time of assembly. Under normal conditions factory lubrication will suffice. Lubricate cable periodically using light penetrating oil. Inspect for broken strands and replace if necessary with Ramsey part number listed in Parts List. If the cable becomes worn or damaged, it must be replaced. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short. Clean all connections especially in the remote control switch and receptacle. In salty environments use a silicone sealer to protect from corrosion. To minimize corrosion of the internal motor components that may occur due to condensation, power the winch in or out periodically. Energizing the motor will generate heat, which will help dissipate any moisture buildup in the motor. This should be performed at periodic intervals (such as with each oil change to your vehicle). Note: Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide if the motor has been submerged. Cable Installation Unwind the new cable by rolling it out along the ground, to prevent kinking. Remove old cable and observe the manner in which it is attached to the cable drum flange. Before installing the new cable assembly, make sure end of cable is squarely cut and wrapped with tape to prevent fraying. Form a short 90 bend (approximately " long) in the end of the cable. Position the cable drum so that the large 13/32" diameter hole in the motor end drum flange is approximately on the top. Insert the bent end of cable into the 13/32" hole in the drum flange and then carefully run the winch in the "reel in" direction approximately revolution until the " diameter threaded hole in the drum flange is on top. Secure the cable to the drum flange using cable anchor and capscrew shown in the parts drawing. Securely tighten the capscrew, but do not over-tighten.
Wind 5 wraps of cable onto the drum. Winch on the rest of the cable by pulling in a light load to keep the tension constant. Allow the cable to swivel by using a length of chain or a block between the cable hook and the load.
Operating Instructions
The winch clutch allows rapid unspooling of the wire rope for hooking onto the load or anchor point. The clutch shifter tab is located on the gear-housing end of the winch and operated as follows: 1. To disengage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab to the "OUT" position. Wire rope may now be freespooled off the drum. 2. To engage the clutch, move the clutch shifter tab to the "IN" position. The winch is now ready for pulling.
MOTOR RUNS EXTREMELY HOT MOTOR RUNS, BUT WITH INSUFFICIENT POWER, OR WITH LOW LINE SPEED
(1) Check battery terminal voltage under load. If 10 volts or less, replace or parallel another battery to it (2) Check battery cables for corrosion; clean and grease (3) Replace with larger capacity charging system (1) If clutch engaged but symptom still exists, it will be necessary to disassemble winch to determine cause and repair (1) Jar solenoid to free contacts. Check solenoid by applying 12 volts to coil terminal (it should make an audible click when energized) (2) Disengage winch clutch, remove remote control switch plug from the socket and jump pins at 8 and 4 oclock. Motor should run. Jump pins at 8 and 10 oclock. Motor should run. (3) If solenoids operate, check for voltage at armature post; replace motor (4) Tighten connections on bottom side of hood and on motor (1) Allow to drain and dry thoroughly, then run motor without load in short bursts to dry windings. (1) Check clutch operation according to nameplate. Make sure clutch shifter knob is fully at OUT position. (2) Check mounting to see that installation instructions on page 4 have been followed.
(2) Bad connection (3) Insufficient charging system MOTOR RUNS, BUT DRUM DOES NOT TURN MOTOR WILL NOT OPERATE (1) Clutch not engaged
(4) Loose connections MOTOR WATER DAMAGED (1) Submerged in water or water from high pressure car wash (1) Clutch not disengaged
(2) Winch not mounted squarely causing end bearing to bind drum
(3) Some or all of the (6) 414861 flat (3) Remove the gear housing cover, 413018, and all gears head capscrews attaching the 479007 ring from inside the gear housing. Disengage the clutch and check gear retainer are too tight to see that the ring gear will rotate by hand. If it will not, using a hex (allen) wrench, slightly loosen all the capscrews and then snugly re-tighten them in cross-cross pattern, but do not over tighten. The ring gear must rotate by hand. Re-assemble the winch.
