Keeping your AXIS clean is the best maintenance you can perform. Regular cleaning of your AXIS
will secure proper function. By following these guidelines you will ensure proper
function for many years.
• Dust should be removed from the aluminium wheel with a vacuum cleaner or dry dust cloth
• If washing is required use a soft cloth and hot water
• Do not use detergent or soap
• Do NOT use lubricant of any kind on the aluminium wheel
Redcord slings are made of strong fabric and the maximum load is given with robust safety
factors. To keep the strength of your slings please follow the guidelines below:
• Inspect your slings and straps frequently
• Your slings and straps should always be without any visible damage. We also recommend
that the safety test on page 9 is performed before first use and then on a monthly basis to
test the strength of your equipment.
Replace slings and straps with visible damage such as:
• Bleached webbing around the D-ring
• Flossy or crispy webbing around the D-ring
• Divided D-ring
• Cracks in the plastic tube of PowerGrip
Respect the work load limit
Maximum load limit of 100 kg for each sling or strap is given for your safety. Even though the
Redcord slings and straps are tested and constructed for much higher load, please respect the
maximum load to give your equipment a longer life and keep your exercise safe.
Clean the slings correctly
• You may wash the slings in washing machines with programs up to 60oC using normal
washing powder
• You may clean the slings with a soft brush and lukewarm soapy water
• You may dry the slings in normal room temperature without sun exposure
• Do NOT use rinsing agents when washing/cleaning the slings
• Do NOT use benzine and other stain removers to clean the slings
• Do NOT disinfect with hot steam
• Do NOT dry in sunlight or by using a drying cabinet
Store the slings correctly
• The slings should be stored indoor without exposure to direct sunlight
• The slings should be stored in normal humidity and temperature without exposure to heating
elements
Avoid incorrect use
• Avoid shock loads - shock loads may damage your slings permanently.
• Avoid using the slings as a swing - Repetitive movements will involve much more wear and
tear than any normal use and may reduce the strength permanently.
