•To protect your ropes from abrasion, for example on edges, use PROTEC, CATERPILLAR, OR ROLLMODULE
protectors.
Particulars of semi-static ropes:
Before the first use, soak a static rope in water for 24 hours.
This creates a better bond between the sheath and the core and helps remove lubricants
(particularly slippery) used during manufacture.
Let the rope dry slowly. It will shrink by approximately 5% (5m for every 100m). Take
this into account in calculating the required length. A well-used rope can shrink up to an
additional 5%.
Maintenance
•After use in a salty environment (seaside), rinse with fresh water.
•Wash ropes in lukewarm soapy water (ph neutral, 30°C maximum), then rinse thoroughly with fresh tap water.
•You can wash your rope in a washing machine. Choose the 30°C delicate synthetic setting, without spin cycle.
•Use only household face and body soap. All other cleaning products, for example solvents, stain removers, degreasers,
etc. are too strong and are incompatible with nylon.
•Do not use a high pressure water sprayer.
