ETAILS ROPE HAVE BEEN ENTRY OMITTED. STEP 1 Clean the mounting surface and tape the drilling template in position so that it matches the desired winch mounting position and orientation. STEP 2 Pull back the spring-loaded release latch on the self-tailing arm with a fingertip (1), then rotate the arm slightly in an anti-clockwise direction (2) until it can be lifted clear of the winch (3). STEP 3 Pull upward on the drum to remove it from the centre stem. Place the centre stem on the template with mounting hole positions aligned, to check that orientation of rope entry in relation to Output Drive Gear is correct. Mounting surface not flat Ensure the Drive gear is aligned to the line entry as per the orientation on the template.

SHOULD ACCURATE DIMENSIONS BE REQUIRED SUCH AS HOLE SPACING, LENGTHS, ETC. PLEASE CONTACT RONSTAN FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. Line Entry STEP 4 With the template in place, drill the Ø6.5mm holes for the M6 mounting bolts (or 9/32" holes for 1/4" bolts). Remove the template, clean away any debris from the holes, and clean the deck thoroughly to ensure deck sealant can adhere properly. STEP 5 Apply sealant under the base of the centre stem around the mounting holes, ensuring that the drainage channels remain clean and free of sealant. For mounting on metal surfaces, the base must also be completely isolated from the mounting surface to prevent galvanic corrosion. Isolation is also recommended for installation on raw carbon fibre surfaces. STEP 6 Fit the winch to the deck using large washers (or backing plate) and locking nuts below deck. Apply Tef-GelTM under the head of each mounting fastener to isolate it from the aluminium centre stem. To avoid wearing the anodised surface of the stem, use a hex key to prevent the fastener from turning and use a spanner to tighten the nuts from below.* *5x M6 or 1/4" Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners. Use of A4-70 DIN912 hex socket cylinder head screws is recommended, installed at a torque setting of no more than 7.1Nm as per industry standards.

REASSEMBLING THE WINCH STEP 1 Lift the drum assembly over the centre stem , then slide it fully down into position. 0° 0° 270° 90° 180° 0° 270° 90° 180° 0° 1 3 2 270° 90° 270° 90° 180° 180° ARM ORIENTATION The image above can be used as a guide to the orientation of the self-tailing arm in typical locations on the deck. STEP 2 Rotate the self-tailing arm to its desired position, ensuring that the rope splitter is in position. Pull back the spring-loaded release latch on the self-tailing arm with a fingertip (1), then rotate the arm slightly in a clockwise direction (3), and listen for the audible "click" indicating it is locked in position (2). STEP 3 Check that the drum turns smoothly when rotated by hand in a clockwise direction, and is not able to turn in an anti-clockwise direction. Insert a winch handle in the socket of the central drive shaft. Turning the handle in an anti-clockwise direction should drive the drum in a clockwise direction. ! SAFETY NOTICES Read All Safety Notices and Product Manuals Do not install or operate this winch before reading and fully understanding the contents of the Product Manual. Stay Alert When Operating Winches are very powerful and have the potential to cause significant damage and/or serious injury if used improperly or without due caution and vigilance.
