Recommendation for the use and care of textile polyester Roundsling and Web Sling.

• Never overload a sling.
• Never use a damaged sling.
• Position the sling correctly. The sling must not be placed around sharp edges or allowed to slide over corners or long edges.
• Do not drag goods with the sling
• Use smooth rounded hooks having an inside radius of not less than 50mm.
• Never tiw a knot in a sling.
• If the load to be lifted is long and requires two sling, a spreader beam should be used and the sling should be as near vertical as possible with the load balanced.
• Avoid shock or snatch loading on sling.

Regular inspection when in use and points to look for.

• Inspection must be carried out in a good light and the entire sling examined by one person on both sides. Particular care should be exercised when examining the inside of eyes where applicable.
• Chafe is a common cause of weakness in web slings. During normal use some furring of the fibres on the outer surface is common and is harmless if not extensive.
• Local abresion and wear as distinct from general furring must be carefully exmined since this can be the cause of loss of strength.
• Cuts can results in a serious loss of strength, especially if the longitudental threads are damaged.
