WINCH CABLE CARE
For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with
genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS
dealer.
WARNING
Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE
INJURY.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts
including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or
replacement.
2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked
winch cable.
A kinked winch cable made of wire rope is
shown at right. Even after being “straightened
out,” this cable has already been permanently
and severely damaged. Promptly discontinue
use of a winch cable in this condition.
A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that
has been “straightened out” is shown at right.
Even though it may look usable, the cable has
been permanently and severely damaged. It
can no longer transmit the load that it could
prior to kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a
winch cable in this condition.
A winch cable made of synthetic rope should
be inspected for signs of fraying. Replace the
cable if fraying is observed (shown at right).
Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in
this condition.
Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers. Such an
area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth or glazed.
Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.
