•To protect your ropes from abrasion, for example on edges, use PROTEC, CATERPILLAR, OR ROLLMODULE
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% (5m for every 100m). 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.
