3.2 General safety instructions
When handling the MaXafe heavy-duty lashing, please note the
following:
– There should be between 1.5 and 3 strap layers (wraps) on the
slotted shaft of the ratchet.
– Only use the same lashing equipment (MaXafe heavy-duty lashing)
to secure the load.
– Hooks may only be attached at the hook beds.
– If possible, use anti-slips mat to increase the coefficient of sliding
friction.
– All lashing points must be able to absorb the resultant forces.
– The ratchet must be exposed when lashing.
– Always use an edge guard for sharp-edged or rough cargo.
– Engage the ratchet lever completely, otherwise the lashing strap
may lose its entire clamping force.
– Do not place any loads on the lashing, if this may damage it.
