Winch Mounting
ESSENTIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS TO MAINTAIN ALIGNMENT OF PLANETARY WINCH
COMPONENTS:
It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sections (the
motor end, the cable drum, and the gear housing end) are properly aligned. Excessive bushing
wear and difficulty in free-spooling are usually symptoms of misalignment.
If the winch is foot mounted, then at least one tie-plate must remain mounted at midpoint of
winch to maintain alignment. It is always preferred to use BOTH tie-plates in the final installed
configuration.
When mounting the winch with other than the recommended Ramsey Angle Kit, the mounting
hole patterns described in the Dimensional drawings of this manual should be used. The
mounting surface must be flat within .015 inch and sufficiently stiff to resist flexing. If a steel
plate is used for foot mounting, it should be .750 inch thick. For this mounting application eight
(8) 1/2-13NC x 1-1/2” long grade 5 cap screws with lock washers will be needed to mount winch.
Cap screws should be tightened to 55 ft-lb (75 Nm) torque.
NOTE: If angles or a steel plate are used in mounting winch, tie-plates provided with winch are
to be attached to the remaining mounting pads, whether they be side or foot.
* CAUTION:
If longer bolts
(minimum grade 5) are
substituted to mount winch or to
mount a roller guide at the side
mount pads, bolt length must be
such as to allow a minimum of
.50 inch thread length
engagement in the tapped holes
in side of each end bearing. Use
of excessive length bolts will
damage the winch and prevent
free-spool of the drum. Torque
bolts to 55 ft-lbs. (75 Nm).
