Troubleshooting
Sling appears to be weakening or degrading.
Immediately remove the sling from service. Visually inspect for signs of chemical damage, UV exposure, or heat damage. If degradation is confirmed, replace the sling.
Difficulty attaching sling to lifting hardware.
Ensure the hardware is appropriately sized for the sling's eye diameter (180mm). Check for any damage or deformation on both the sling eye and the hardware. Do not force connections.
Sling shows signs of abrasion.
If the abrasion is minor and only affects the surface, and the underlying fibers are intact, it may be usable with extreme caution. For significant abrasion, remove the sling from service.
Sling is contaminated with chemicals.
If the chemical is unknown or known to degrade synthetic fibers, the sling should be removed from service as a precaution. If the chemical is known to be safe for the webbing material, clean thoroughly according to care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Inspect the sling: Before each use, visually inspect the entire length of the sling, paying close attention to the reinforced eyes and any signs of wear, cuts, or abrasion.
Select appropriate hitch: Choose the correct lifting method (vertical, choker, or basket hitch) based on the load and desired stability. Ensure the sling is not twisted.
Attach securely: Connect the reinforced eyes to your lifting hardware (e.g., hooks, shackles). Ensure connections are secure and properly seated.
Compatibility:
This web sling is compatible with standard lifting hardware such as hooks, shackles, and eye bolts.
For loads with sharp edges, use appropriate corner protectors (sold separately) to prevent sling damage.
Ensure the lifting device's attachment point is compatible with the sling's eye diameter (180mm).
