WINCH MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SAFETY
WARNING
Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to SEVERE
INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this
manual.
1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch
cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.
2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your winch.
3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery connections
to prevent accidental activation of the winch.
4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable)
with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized
POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person.
5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other winches use a
specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.
6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade polymer
rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look
similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will
stretch and store excessive energy when winching.
WARNING
Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the
stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
