4-12 WINCHES

Inspect the winch cable before and after every
usage. If frayed wires, nicks, kinks, worn spots,
breaks or any other sign of deterioration or dam-
age is found, immediate replacement is mandatory
before further usage. If the trailer is going to be out
in the weather for any length of time, it is advisable
to oil the winch cable to prevent untimely rusting
and deterioration of the cable. See Table 4-1 for
lubrication specifications.
Inspect the winch mechanism thoroughly each
week to insure safe, efficient operation.
