What is happening is that your winch is drawing too much and is causing the ignition to stop working on your 2007 Polaris UTV. Typically this is caused by faulty wiring, but since yours is brand new the problem is most likely that you have a bad battery that can't handle the load the winch puts on the system.
If you rev up the engine while using the winch and it seems to work then the problem would be the battery.
