4. Thread the winch rope through the fairlead, then
thread the rope through the rubber bump stop
with the “POLARIS” label facing outward toward
the front of the vehicle. The rubber bump stop is
supposed to be tight on the rope, so use a string
or plastic cable tie tied around the end of the rope
to pull the rope through the bump stop. It is helpful
to apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or other
non-corrosive lubricant to the rubber stop to ease
the rope through the hole. Once the rope is through
the hole, attach the hook to the rope with the cotter
pin as instructed in the winch kit as shown in figure.
5.
Before use, confirm the proper function of the Auto Stop by turning on the winch and spooling it in. The
rubber stop should get close to the fairlead and the winch should turn off automatically. If it does not, check
that all connections are made properly and that the rubber stop is facing with the “POLARIS” side facing
outward and re-test.
The Auto Stop system is meant to help prevent damage to the winch system from over-tightening of the rope,
but is not meant to prevent all foreseeable winch damage. Keep in mind that the winch system is very powerful
and care should be exercised whenever it is in operation. The winch operator is always responsible for using
the winch properly and the Auto Stop system should only be used as a secondary preventive measure to help
prevent damage to the winch from over-tightening of the rope.
3. Once the connections have been made, route the
red and black wires to the wire harness. The black
wire must be connected to a solid ground, and the
red wire should be connected to keyed power so
that the winch will only operate when the vehicle
key is turned to the ON position as shown in figure.
