Safety instructions for lashing straps

• Keep the product away from children.
• Check that all parts have been assembled correctly. Improper assembly may result in injury.

- Check the product for damages prior to each use. Do not use the product anymore if it is damaged.

- Carefully check the product for dirt, contamination, corrosion or other material damages.

- Do not use the product if it is damaged in any way:

• Broken threads or cuts in the thread (especially if the edges have been nicked).
• Missing/irlegible labelling. Only legibly marked and labelled lashing straps may be used.
• Damage to connections. Deformation due to exposure to heat (friction, radiation).
• Material deformations on any component
• Damages due to the effect of corrosive substances.
• After accidental contact with chemical products, the lashing strap must be removed from service and the manufacturer or supplier consulted.

- Never exceed the permissible tensile load of the lashing strap as stated on the label (see also “Technical data”).

- Choose the most suitable lashing strap in accordance with the intended load that needs to be lashed down, the tensile load and loading surface (see label).

- Check that the vehicle parts you wish to strap the load to are sturdy enough.

■ Make sure that the lashing straps are not twisted/knotted and that the load is distributed across their entire width.

• Keep lashing strap away from hot surfaces.
  ■ Evenly distribute the lashing straps on the load to be secured.
  ■ Never use the lashing straps to lift loads.

⚠️ CAUTION! DANGER OF ACCIDENT! Always choose suitable lashing straps, lashing points and lashing methods. The size, shape and weight of the cargo as well as the intended mode of use, the transport environment and the type of cargo determine the correct choice.

- Do not exceed the roof load indicated by the vehicle manufacturer.

⚠️ CAUTION! DANGER OF ACCIDENT! When lashing down, pay attention to the required pre-load force. At least 2 lashing straps are required. For reasons of stability, at least 2 lashing straps of the same kind must be used for lashing down and 2 pairs of lashing straps of the same kind used for diagonal lashing.

⚠️ CAUTION! DANGER OF ACCIDENT! During transportation, regularly check that the cargo is correctly lashed and tighten the lashing strap if necessary.

● Practical use and care information

1. In selecting and using lashing equipment, you must consider the required lashing force, the mode of use and the type of cargo to be lashed. The size, shape and weight of the cargo as well as the intended mode of use, the transport environment and the type of cargo determine the correct choice. For stability reasons, at least 2 lashing straps must be used for lashing down and 2 pairs of lashing straps used for diagonal lashing.

2. The selected web lashings shall both be strong enough and of the correct length for the mode of use. Basic lashing rules:

3. Plan the fitting and removal operations of lashing before starting a journey;

4. Keep in mind that during journeys parts of the load may have to be unloaded;
5. Calculate the number of web lashings according to prEN 12195-1:1995;
6. Only those web lashings designed for frictional lashing with STF on the label are to be used for frictional lashing;

7. Check the tension force periodically, especially shortly after starting the journey.

8. Due to different characteristics and because of different changes in length under load, only identical lashing device combinations (e.g. lashing chains and lashing strap made of synthetic fibres) may be used in parallel for lashing the same load.

9. Consideration shall also be given to ancillary fittings (components) and lashing devices in the load restraint assembly are compatible with the web lashing.

10. During use, flat hooks must engage over the entire width of the bearing surface of the hook.

11. Release of the web lashing: Care should be taken to ensure that the stability of the load is independent of the lashing equipment and that the release of the web lashing shall not cause the load to fall off the vehicle, thus endangering the personnel. If necessary attach lifting equipment for further transport to the load before releasing the tensioning device in order to prevent accidental falling and/or tilting of the load. This applies as well when using tensioning devices which allow controlled removal.

12. Before starting to unload, you must loosen the lashing until the load is free.
13. During loading and unloading attention has to be paid to proximity of any low overhead power lines.
14. The materials from which lashing straps are made have selective resistance to chemical attacks. Seek the advice of the manufacturer or supplier if exposure to chemicals is anticipated. It should be noted that the effects of chemicals may increase with rising temperatures. The resistance of man-made fibres to chemicals is summarized below.

- Polyamides are virtually immune to the effects of alkalis. However, they are attacked by mineral acids.

- Polyester is resistant to mineral acids but is attacked by alkalis.

- Polypropylene is little affected by acids and alkalis and is suitable for applications where high resistance to chemicals (other than certain organic solvents) is required.

- Solutions of acids or alkalis which are harmless may become sufficiently concentrated by evaporation to cause damage. Take contaminated webbings out of service at once, thoroughly soak them in cold water, and dry naturally.

1. This product is suitable for use for the following temperature ranges: -40 to +80 °C. This range may vary in a chemical environment. In that case the advice of the manufacturer or supplier shall be sought. Changing the environmental temperature during transport may affect the forces in the lashing. Check the tension force after entering warm areas.

2. Lashing straps shall be rejected or returned to the manufacturer for repair if they show any signs of damage.

The following criteria are considered to be signs of damage:

• Only lashing bearing identification labels shall be repaired;
• If there is any accidental contact with chemical products, lashing straps shall be removed from service and the manufacturer or supplier shall be consulted;
• for lashing straps (to be rejected): tears, cuts, nicks and breaks in load bearing fibres and retaining stitches; deformations resulting from exposure to heat;

• for end fittings and tensioning devices: deformations, splits, pronounced signs of wear, signs of corrosion.

• Care should be taken that the lashing is not damaged by sharp edges of the load on which it is used.
  A visual inspection before and after each use is recommended.

• Only legibly marked and labelled web lashings shall be used.
• Lashing straps must not be overloaded: The maximum hand force 25 daN for model HG04648; 50 daN for model HG04646 and HG04647 (1 daN ≈ 1 kg) may be applied. Mechanical aids such as bars or levers etc. may not be used unless they are part of the tensioning device (HG04646 / HG04647 / HG04648).
• Lashings shall never be used when knotted.
• Damage to labels shall be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges of the load and, if possible, from the load.
• Webbing must be protected against friction, abrasion and damage from loads with sharp edges by using protective sleeves and / or corner protectors.

Use

Lashing down (HG04646 / HG04647 / HG04648):

With lashing straps stretched over it, the load is pressed down onto the loading area (Fig. 1).
