Winch Mounting; Troubleshooting Guide - RAMSEY WINCH H 49,8 Série Traduction Des Instructions Originales

WINCH MOUNTING

It is most important that this winch be mounted securely so that the three major sections (the clutch housing end, the rope drum and
the gear housing end) are properly aligned. If mounting angles are used, 13mm (.50 in) thick spacers must be used to provide
clearance between the drum flange and mounting angles. The spacers (4) must be installed between the clutch and gear housing
ends and the mounting angles. Recommended mounting angles are: 10 X 65 X 65mm (3/8 x 2-1/2 x 3") Lg. high strength 248 GPa
(36,000 PSI) yield steel angle.
