Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey Guys,

I bought a new winch cable/rope to replace my damaged steel cable on my XD9000.

Got a 28m Dynema rope.

It has a black protector over the rope.

Is that protector supposed to go on the winch anchoring end to protect from the drum and heat OR on the hook/splice end for abraision and UV protection?

Cheers,

Colin,

Mine is on the Hook end of the cable - the theory is I can slide it down to where it might abrade if needed...

When my mate brought his.instructions said to keep at drum end to protect from drum heat damaging rope. You buy the protector for.the hook end if you want it.

I thought the same, you run the protection on the drums first layer to help combat heat & have a 1/2m length at hook end to use on possible abrasive areas.

Thanks Guys,

I'll follow the advice and fit a sheath to the first layer (I bought a 4m one) and use the shorter one that came with the Dynema rope for the hook end.

Cheers,
