12. Check synthetic rope. The rope should be neatly wound
around the spooling drum. Improper winding can cause
damage to the synthetic rope.
Synthetic Rope Neatly Wound Around The Spooling
Drum
Heavy Blanket Over Rope
In certain situations you may decide to throw a heavy
blanket or similar object over the rope. A heavy blanket
can absorb energy should the synthetic rope break. Place
it on the rope midway between the winch and the anchor
point. Do this before the rope is put under tension. Do not
approach or move the blanket once tension is applied. Do
not allow it to get pulled into the fairlead. If it is necessary
to move or remove the blanket, slack the tension on the
rope first.
