Jimbo:
I've been in touch with the company who installed the winch setup on my 110, as the fitting plate states that the pull is restricted for safety reasons (I guess to stop the leccy board chaps from pulling poles over etc !) By 'increasing the pressure relief valve to 176bar' I can de-restrict the system.......but where would I find the pressure relief valve ?

The guy has emailed me a system schematic, but it's a .DWG file, so you need a CAD package to view it  :roll:

the pressure releif valve will be on the valve block.. it will probably look just like a nut on the side of the valve block.. Careful how much you turn it though, 1/8 of a turn on my pressure releif valve is equal to 200 psi

paul_humphreys:
Did you find out what winch it was after?

If its a 525 can you send me what he sent you? Mine is going to someone next week tobe set up. Mine is like yours, works but lacks power.

But as said its on the valve block.

Jimbo:
The winch is a Ramsey RPH8000, and it currently struggles to pull the skin off a rice pudding...............seems that its limited to 2000kgs pull, and 1000kgs hoist (switch on the dash to select hoist or drag). I've managed to find a bit of freeware that opens the CAD file they sent me, the pressure relief valve is on the valve block - but that's tucked away under the nearside wing, and you can't get it out without disconnecting all the pipework......and I'm guessing that if I do that, hydraulic fluid will pee out all over the place  :roll:

You really should be able to get to the PRV without taking the whole block out, unless they have been really numptys installing it. Please be very careful if your planning on adjusting the PRV get a profesional to do it, they should plumb a flow meter into the system which means they can work out what the PRV blows at now and set it to a new setting recommended by Ramsey.
