page 3 #14 straight from the Warn winch operators manual, in bold print I might add.
"The wire rope on a new winch, and any replacement ropes, MUST BE STRETCHED AND RESPOOLED UNDER LOAD before using the winch. Failure to do this will result in wire rope damage."
On to the 9.5 XP. Do you have one? Have you used one? I do, and used one daily for quite a while on a H2. Hardly anemic, in fact the XP is the most underrated winch that Warn has. It pulled up 7 16" steps at a 40 percent grade faster and cooler that a MM 12K (which smoked). If you need more pull, use a snatch block.
