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 Velcro. 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 Velcro.
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.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Each sling can be laundered up to 80ºc using 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 sling is subject to harsh /abrasive
cleaning methods do not continue to use sling.
All slings fitted with a Velcro body belt should have
the Velcro square removed during laundering and
refitted afterwards. This will significantly extend the
lifespan of the product.
