Use and Care Instructions – Webbing Load Resistant Systems Ref: AW116
Use: The selected lashing system should be both strong enough and of the correct length for the
mode of use. Good lashing practice should always be followed; the fitting and removal operations of
the lashings should be planned before starting a journey. The lashing should be suitably pre-
tensioned and regularly checked.
CAUTION: NOT TO BE USED FOR LIFTING
INSPECTION: Web lashings and any fittings or coupling components attached should be subject to
frequent visual inspection and regular examination by a competent person. Web lashings shall be
withdrawn from service if there is a cause to doubt fitness for use.
MARKING: Use only legibly marked and labelled web lashing.
OVERLOADING: Lashing systems should not be overloaded. Mechanical aids such as levers or bars
should not be used unless they are specifically designed for use with the device.
PROTECTION: The webbing and labels should be protected against friction, abrasion and damage
from load with edge radii less than twice the webbing material thickness, using protective sleeves or
corner protectors.
SERVICEABILITY: Normal wear and tear can reduce the strength of the webbing assemblies. If
webbing is damaged by more than 10% of its original state due to abrasion, cuts, prolonged exposure
to sunlight or chemicals then it should be replaced. Similar, if tensioning devices such as hand
ratchets and end fittings are damaged by wear or corrosion they should be replaced.
RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of the owner, the driver and the person in charge of the
loading to ensure that a vehicles load restraint and attachments, and the load securing equipment,
are serviceable and strong enough for their application.
NOTE: The user of this strap assumes all risk and liability for its handling and use.
