Dear Customers; Safety Notes - Westfalia 61 45 37 Instruction Manual

Securing loads is no place for compromising which might catch up with you in
next to no time. Wherever loads must be secured, the handy, self-retracting
ratchet tie down is of tremendous use. This tie down can be used just like any
ordinary tie down, but you stay clear of all the hassle connected to loops of
unused strap, threading the strap into the ratchet and the rather awkward storage.
Persons and load are not put into any danger by flying loops of free belt. During
Storage the belt stays clean, rolled up for easy deployment, and protected from
oil, grease and ultraviolet rays.
Please familiarize yourself with the proper usage of the device by reading and
following each chapter of this manual, in the order presented. Keep these
operating instructions for further reference.
This operating instruction contains important details for handling the device.
Please pass it on along with the unit if it is handed over to a third party!
Please read all safety instructions!
These instructions will make it easier for you to handle the device and help
