You can use adhesive tape on the areas where the rope does not run. 

Maintenance 

• After use in a salty environment (seaside), rinse with fresh water.
• Use a small brush to remove oily dirt or mud.
• Wash your gear in lukewarm soapy water (ph neutral, 30 °C maximum), then rinse thoroughly with fresh tap water.
• Do not use acid or harsh cleaners. Do not use WD 40 type degreasers as these products remove lubricants and their 
abrasive effect can accelerate wear.
• Certain metal gear also has plastic parts. Use only household face and body soap. All other cleaning products, for 
example solvents, stain removers, degreasers, etc. are too strong and not compatible with plastic materials.
• Do not use a high pressure water sprayer. High pressure water spray can remove 
lubricants and damage joints.
• If lubricating is necessary. Lubricate only with fluid oils (machine oil) or graphite powder. 
After lubricating, clean oil residue with a cloth to avoid getting oil on slings or ropes.
