Halyard Maintenance
Note: A worn halyard should be replaced before it fails completely so that it can be used to pull the new halyard through the truck
The rate at which a halyard wears can vary based on factors such as flag size, wind conditions, climate, and usage. Therefore, we recommend inspecting the halyard for wear on a monthly basis.
Polyester and Nylon Rope
Polyester and nylon rope halyards should be replaced if you notice any fraying, tearing, or other visible damage.
Stainless Steel Cable
Stainless steel cable halyards should be replaced if you observe any kinking, fraying, or other visible damage.
Note: For internal halyard flagpoles with winch, see Winch Operation, Care and Maintenance, and Wire Cable Replacement Instructions for Internal Halyard Flagpoles.
