WINCH GUIDE
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 dealer.
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.
