Function check

Transfer products are also subject to a natural ageing process. Inspect the equipment regularly and carefully, in
particular before each use. Ensure that the product is in sound condition and that the material and the seams are
not damaged. Check the product functionality by applying pressure to the handles and ensure that the material
withstands the load. The smooth surface of the special sliding material allows for easy sliding and moving. Check
these properties - ideally in comparison to a new product.
