Polaris Sportsman Touring XP 1000 EPS 2022, Owner'S Manual

Page: 84 / 156

WARNING
Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.
• Attach the hook itself onto the load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the
load to the winch cable.
TIP
A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to
stretch.
WARNING
Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that
can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY
or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 87.
• Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable
and may result in winch cable failure.
WARNING
Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE
INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. 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 dealer.
