Maintenance Tips
- Inspect rope before and after each use for fraying, cuts, glazing, or abrasion damage.
- Clean with mild soap and cold water; rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before storage.
- Store loosely coiled in a dry, cool, UV-protected area to prevent sun damage and stiffness.
- Avoid contact with sharp edges, rough surfaces, and metal burrs that can weaken fibers.
- Keep away from heat, flames, and high-friction contact that may melt or weaken polyester.
- Do not expose to oils, solvents, or chemicals that can degrade rope strength.
- Check consistency of rope diameter and flexibility; discard if hardened or uneven.
- Rotate usage along the rope length to distribute wear evenly.
- Ensure proper knots/splices are intact and not slipping under load.
- Retire immediately if structural damage or significant strength loss is observed.
