Ramsey Winch Patriot Profile 9500, Owner'S Manual

4

Installation

The winch shown in this owner’s manual is solely and 
exclusively designed for vehicle mounted, non-industrial 
applications. All other applications will void warranty.

It is very important that the winch be mounted on a 
flat surface so that the three major sections (the motor 
end, the 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.  

The Aluminum Hawse Fairlead included with the winch is 
required for use with the synthetic rope.

NOTE: If recommended mounting is not used, a kit of 
equal design must be used.

Also available for mounting the Patriot 9500 are the fol-
lowing winch mounting channels:

• #251126 short length (23.63”) black

• #251127 medium length (30.00”) black

• #251128 long length (36.00”) black

It is recommended that Ramsey mounting channels be 
used with all non-Ramsey mounting.

Attach aluminum hawse fairlead to channel using hard-
ware furnished with winch. Attach winch to channel. 
Thread capscrews with lockwashers through mounting 
holes in channel and into winch feet (see figure below). 

Substitution  of  attaching  hardware  items  (bolts,  nuts  or 
washers)  different  from  those  supplied  with  your  winch 
and  mounting  kit  can  lead  to  failure  causing  damage  or 
serious injury (use SAE grade 5 bolts or better and
torque to 34 ft-lbs.).

Place end of rope through fairlead and attach hook. Use 
clevis pin and cotter pin (see figure below).

The 10’ protective sleeve can be cut into two 5’ lengths 
for greater flexibility in protecting the synthetic rope. 
Remove the protective sleeve from the rope before cut-
ting into two lengths, use a cigarette lighter to fuse the 
cut ends so they will not unravel, and then slide the two 
pieces back on the rope.
