Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, fasten the double front buckles first, followed by the cross surcingles. Ensure the surcingles are snug but allow for a hand-width of space to ensure safety. For care, it is recommended to hand-wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using cold water to maintain the integrity of the mesh and the UV-protective coating. Always air-dry the rug away from direct heat sources to prevent the nylon from becoming brittle. Regularly inspect the mesh for small tears and repair them promptly to prevent them from enlarging.
