1. When handling slings and cargo, avoid dragging or tying them. Always lift and move with care to prevent unnecessary stress or damage.
2. Ensure the soft ring is not connected to any sharp or rough devices that could cause abrasion or damage over time. Always inspect the attachment points before use.
3. While carrying, never twist the sling. Twisting can weaken the material and reduce its load-bearing capacity, leading to potential failure.
4. Never use a sling without a protective sheath when handling goods with sharp edges or corners. This can lead to cuts or tears in the sling, compromising safety.
5. Avoid opening the soft ring beyond 20 degrees. Excessive opening can cause structural stress and reduce the overall strength of the connection.
6. Store slings in dark, cool places away from direct sunlight. UV exposure can degrade the material and shorten the lifespan of the sling.
7. Keep slings away from open flames, heat sources, or high-temperature environments. Heat can weaken the material and increase the risk of failure during use.
8. When not in use, always store the sling in a well-lit and clean area. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity of the sling and ensures it's ready for the next use.
