Look for powdered fiber or abrasion (signs of internal
wear). Consider the amount of wear on the internal fibers
when determining the percent of wear for replacement.
Glossy or glazed sections (see Figure E) in the cable are
usually caused by compression, such as the cable being
wound on the drum or through a pulley block. This is
considered normal.

If you compress (see Figure D) a
glazed section of cable (see Figure E) and it remains
hardened, then the cable has suffered heat damage
and must be replaced.
WarnInG
Sharp edges and rough surfaces
will shorten cable life. Inspect the cable and
protective sheath before use. Replace cable
immediately if it has cut strands, fused or melted
fibers, odd stiff sections, chemical contamination,
flat areas, or lumps that cannot be eliminated after
flexing the cable.
