7.1.
Transport / Storing
During transport ensure the rigging components are not stressed or
damaged by mechanical forces. Use suitable transport cases.
Due to their surface treatment the Q-Series rigging components are
temporary protected against moisture. However, ensure the components
are in a dry state while stored or during transport and use.
