EXAMINATION AND
INSPECTION OF SLING
CAUTION
Before every lift visually examine the slings
structural integrity. If there is any sign of
excessive damage to the fabric or straps DO
NOT USE THE SLING.
GENERAL EXTERNAL WEAR
In normal use this is unavoidable and is shown
by fluffiness to the surface fibres. This may be
caused by sharp edges on straps or Hook and
Loop. This is harmless unless it becomes too
extensive. Normal material condition is smooth
or flat.
LOCAL ABRASION IN THE WEBBING STRAPS
This may be caused by the passage of the
webbing over the sharp edges whilst under
tension or Hook and Loop. Slight damage to the
outer fibres may be considered safe but in
severe cases this should lead to instant rejection
of the product.
CUTS, HOLES OR BURNS
These are dangerous and must lead to instant
rejection of the product.
EXAMINATION OF STITCH PATTERNS Examine
the stitch patterns for broken, worn, pulled or
unravelled stitches. Reject any product
where the thread has become subject to
excessive abrasion or broken stitches.
DO NOT USE DO NOT USE
Critical stitch area on
all lifting straps THIS
MUST BE INTACT
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Each sling can be laundered up to 80ºc. Use a
mild soap solution and then rinse. Slings will air
dry quickly in a warm room or in the normal
manner. Tumble dry on low setting only. Do
not place over a convector heater or steam
pipes.
Do not use biological detergents. Do not use
bleach. Do not use strong chemicals. A faded
label is an early indicator that the sling has
been subject to harsh/abrasive cleaning
methods: do not continue to use the sling.
All slings fitted with a Hook and Loop body
belt should have the Hook and Loop square
removed during laundering and refitted
afterwards. This will significantly extend the
lifespan of the product.
