Replacement Rope Installation
Notes:
· Rope should be installed so that it feeds from the bottom of the drum.
· An Aluminum Hawse Fairlead, P/N 251266 (included with winch), is required for use with the Ramsey
Synthetic Rope.
· Before installing synthetic rope, inspect winch drum and fairlead and smooth any sharp edges on drum
barrel, flanges and other winch accessories that may contact the rope.
1. Unwind new rope by rolling it out along the ground.
2. Remove existing rope, noting how it is installed in the drum.
3. Rotate drum to locate existing hole in flange that is closest to the drum
barrel.
4. Feed synthetic rope through aluminum hawse fairlead and under drum.
See figure page 4.
5. Insert synthetic rope anchor into hole in flange closest to drum barrel.
6. Carefully run winch in the “reel-in” direction. Wear gloves and use the hook strap, keep tension on end of rope as
you spool all the rope onto the drum, taking care to form neatly wrapped layers.
Pull synthetic rope tight to seat
anchor in hole.
