Ramsey Winch REP 5000 - Manual

Congratulations
You have purchased the finest winch available in its service
class. The REP 5000 features a highly efficient 3 stage plane-
tary gear set which transmits torque from a permanent
magnet D.C. motor. A safe positive clutch allows free spooling
for quick cable deployment. An automatic load holding brake
is designed to hold the full rated capacity of the winch.
This 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 improp-
erly used. At the same time, there are easier and faster ways
for getting the job done if certain precautions 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 begin-
ning 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.
Please Note: Ramsey REP 5000 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 con-
tact the factory for further information.
