If your Polaris Winch is operating too slowly, ensure the gear knob is set to the correct gear. Also, the winch's speed can be affected by the load on the rope or if the rope is tangled within the spool. Check that the winch is unobstructed, the rope isn't bound, and there's no load on the rope.
Why my Polaris PRO HD 4500 WINCH KIT winch will not operate?
If your Polaris Winches winch will not operate, first ensure the vehicle key is turned on. Then, check that the wireless remote is powered on. Verify the connections between all components are correctly aligned. A direct connection of the wired handlebar switch from the vehicle's main wire harness to the contactor can help determine if the winch will operate directly. Also, check the fusebox for the 10A accessory circuit and voltage in the orange wires near the steering post.
What to do if my Polaris PRO HD 4500 WINCH KIT makes noise but the rope does not move?
If your Polaris Winches winch makes noise but the rope doesn't move, the contactor might be powered while the winch isn't. Check the connections between the winch and the contactor. Also, verify that the winch is properly engaged in gear. If it's in gear and still not moving, a dealer inspection is recommended.
What to do if my Polaris Winches operates in one direction only?
If your Polaris Winches winch operates only in one direction, check the connections of the Autostop fairlead. If the winch only operates outward, make sure the black rubber puck isn't touching the aluminum fairlead. If it operates inward even when the puck is touching, check the Autostop control box connections. If it operates inward but not outward when the puck is touching the fairlead, check that the wire colors at the connectors match on both sides.
Why Polaris PRO HD 4500 WINCH KIT Winches winch will not change gears?
If your Polaris Winches winch won't change gears, it's likely because the rope is under load. Ensure there's no tension on the rope and that it's not bunched up inside the spool area. Operate the winch briefly, then try shifting again.
