from the warn handbook

The life of a wire rope is directly related to the use
and care it receives. During its first use, a new
wire rope must be spooled onto its drum under a
load of at least 500 lb. [ 227 kg ]. Spool out the
wire rope to the last 5 wraps on the drum, then
power in the wire rope under a load of 500 lb.
[ 227 kg ] or more. This will stretch new wire
rope and create a good wire wrap around the
drum. Failure to do so will result in the outer
wire wraps drawing into the inner wraps, binding,
and damaging the wire rope.
