personal injury, damages to the vehicle or the load.
Never load the strap in excess of the permitted lashing force
specified on the label.
• Before using, select the tensioning strap according to the
intended method of lashing, the required lashing force, the
surface of the load and check this (see labelling sticker).
When tie-down lashing, it is recommend to ensure that the
necessary pre-tensioning forces can be applied in a controlled
manner.
• Make sure that the vehicle parts that the load is secured to are
suitable for the job and offer sufficient stability.
• Remember that additional acceleration and lateral forces will
be generated by the wind.
• Tensioning straps may not be knotted.
• Caution – When the road curves, or the vehicle brakes, the
straps may yield. (Carry out brake testing) Protect objects with
large surfaces from wind loads.
• These straps are not suitable for lifting and carrying loads.
• Permitted lashing force: 2500 daN.
• Do not tension the strap over sharp corners or edges.
• Lashing straps may not be twisted and the full width must
make contact.
• No loads may be placed on top of the tensioning strap.
• The strap may not be positioned up against a hot surface.
• The tensioning strap may only be used at temperatures
between -40°C and +120°C.
• Always use 2 straps, either crossed over or in parallel.
• The tip of the lashing hook may not be loaded unless it is a
specialist hook designed specifically for this use.
• In order to prevent a lashing hook from becoming loose and
unsecured in a lashing point on the load area, it should be
placed from the inside out.
• When using polyamide of polyester tensioning straps,
contaminations may be removed using ordinary solvents.
The tensioning strap must be allows to dry fully. When using
ordinary solvents, the applicable regulations are to be
observed (e.g. data sheet for chlorinated hydrocarbon
ZH 1/194)
• Never position the hook and manual ratchet at an edge.
• Never lengthen the tensioning lever of the manual ratchet
in order to achieve greater forces when this is not expressly
permitted.
• In order to ensure it is securely positioned, 1.5 turns of the
strap should be applied to the ratchet. Pre-tension the strap
by hand so that not more than 3 turns of the strap must be
applied to the manual ratchet in order to lash the load.
