4 Instructions for use
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. It may become a dangerous play-
thing for children.
Before using the lashing strap, please read these instructions carefully! Failure to comply
with these instructions may cause personal injury or damage to your vehicle or the load.
Never exceed the permissible tensile load (lashing capacity) of the lashing strap, as stated
on the label.
Before use, choose the most suitable lashing strap in accordance with the intended load
that needs to be lashed down, the tensile load and the loading surface (see attached iden-
tification label). When using tie-down lashing, it is recommended to ensure that the neces-
sary prestressing forces can be applied in a controlled manner.
Check that the vehicle parts you wish to strap the load to are sturdy enough.
Please note: In addition, wind may cause acceleration forces and lateral forces.
Lashing straps must not be knotted. Never pull the strap over rough surfaces or sharp
edges if they are not furnished with suitable protection.
Make sure that the lashing straps are not twisted and that the load is distributed across their
entire width. Do not place any loads on the tensioning device (webbing) if this can damage
the tensioning device (webbing).
Never expose the lashing strap to hot surfaces.
Evenly distribute the straps on the load to be secured.
Never use the lashing straps to lift loads.
Never apply the maximum permissible load to lashing hooks unless the hook is designed
for such a purpose. To avoid detachment of a lashing hook without a lock in a lashing point
on the loading surface, suspend from the inside outwards.
When using polyamide or polyester lashing straps, soiling can be removed by means of
ordinary solvents. Before using the lashing strap, make sure that it is completely dry. Al-
ways observe the applicable regulations when using commercially available solvents (e.g.
data sheet for chlorinated hydrocarbons BGI 767). Contact the manufacturer for further
cleaning instructions.
4.1 Practical information regarding the use and care of lashing straps
In selecting and using lashing straps, you must consider the required lashing force, the
mode of use, and the type of load to be lashed. The size, shape and weight of the load, as
well as the intended mode of use, the transport environment and the type of load, deter-
mine the correct choice. For stability reasons, at least two lashing straps must be used for
tie-down lashing and two pairs of lashing straps for diagonal lashing.
The selected lashing strap must be strong and long enough for the intended purpose and
have the correct length for the type of lashing. Responsible users plan load security in
advance. They plan the attachment and removal of the lashing straps before the start of
the trip.
With longer trips, partial unloading must be considered. Calculate the number of lashing
straps according to EN 12195-1:2010. Only lashing systems labelled for tie-down lashing
with SHF (Standard Hand Force) may be used for tie-down lashing. Check the tension
force regularly, especially shortly after the start of the trip.

Due to different characteristics and because of different changes in length under load,
only identical lashing device combinations (e.g. lashing chains and lashing straps made of
synthetic fibres) may be used in parallel for lashing the same load. When using additional
fittings and lashing devices, make sure that they fit the lashing strap.
Opening the lashing: Before opening, make sure that the load is stable even without being
secured and does not endanger unloading personnel by falling down. If necessary, attach
blocking devices to the load that has been planned for further transport beforehand in order
to prevent the load falling or tipping over. This also applies when using tensioning elements
that allow safe removal.
Before starting to unload, you must loosen the lashing until the load is free.
During loading and unloading, attention must be paid to proximity of any low-hanging over-
head lines.
The materials from which lashing straps are made have selective resistance to chemical
attacks. Heed the manufacturer's or supplier's instructions if the lashing straps are likely
to be exposed to chemicals. It should be noted that the effects of chemicals may increase
with rising temperatures. The resistance of synthetic fibres to chemical action is summa-
rised below:
– Polyamides are resistant to the effects of alkalis. But they are attacked by mineral
acids.
– Polyester is resistant to mineral acids but is attacked by alkalis.
– Polypropylene is affected less by acids and alkalis and is suitable for applications in
which high resistance to chemicals is required, except for some organic solvents.
– Harmless acid or alkaline solutions can become so concentrated through evaporation
that they cause damage. Soiled lashing straps should immediately be taken out of use,
rinsed in cold water and dried in the open air.
According to this part of the European Standard EN 12195, lashing straps are suitable for
the following temperature ranges:
– -40 °C to +80 °C for polypropylene (PP)
– -40 °C to +100 °C for polyamide (PA)
– -40 °C to +120 °C for polyester (PES).
These temperature ranges may alter depending on the chemical environment. In this event,
you must seek the advice of the manufacturer or supplier. A change in the environmental
temperature during transport may affect the forces in the webbing. Check the lashing force
after entering warm regions.
Lashing straps must be taken out of use or returned to the manufacturer for repair if they
show any signs of damage. The following points are considered to be signs of damage:
– for webbing (that must be taken out of use): tears, cuts, nicks and breaks in load-
bearing fibres and stitches; deformations resulting from exposure to heat;
– for end fittings and tensioning elements: deformations, cracks, pronounced signs of
wear, signs of corrosion.
– Only lashing straps bearing identification labels shall be repaired.
If there is any accidental contact with chemical products, the lashing strap must be re-
moved from service, and the manufacturer or supplier must be consulted.
Care should be taken that the lashing strap is not damaged by the sharp edges of the load
on which it is used. Regular visual inspection before and after each use is recommended.
Only legibly marked and labelled lashing straps must be used.
Lashing straps must not be overloaded. The maximum permissible standard hand force
(SHF and HF on the label: 1 daN ≈ 1 kg) may be applied with only one hand. Mechanical
aids such as bars or levers shall not be used unless they are part of the tensioning element.
Lashing straps may not be used when knotted.
Damage to labels must be prevented by keeping them away from the sharp edges of the
load and, if possible, from the load.
Webbing must be protected against friction, abrasion and damage from loads with sharp
edges by using protective sleeves or corner protectors.
