12. Check wire rope. The wire rope should be neatly
wound around the spooling drum. Improper winding
can cause damage to the wire rope.
In certain situations you may decide to throw a heavy
blanket or similar object over the wire rope. A heavy
blanket can absorb energy should the wire rope break.
Place it on the wire rope midway between the winch and
the anchor point. Do this before the wire 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 wire rope first.
