Congratulations!

wound DC motor. A safe positive clutch allows free spooling for quick cable
deployment. An automatic load holding brake is designed to hold the fully
rated capacity of the winch. It was designed and manufactured to provide you
with the utmost in utility. As with any device that combines power and move-
ment in its use, there are dangers if improperly used. At the same time, there
are easier 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 beginning use. When you follow our guidelines for opera-
tion, 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 Patriot™ Profile 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 infor-
mation.
CAUTION: Read and understand this manual before installation and operation of winch. See Safety Precautions!
