Troubleshooting
Strap will not tension properly
Ensure the webbing is correctly threaded through the ratchet mechanism and that there are no obstructions. Check that the ratchet is engaging properly.
Snap hook is difficult to attach or detach
Inspect the snap hook and anchor point for any debris or damage. Ensure the hook is fully opening and closing before attempting to attach or detach.
Webbing shows signs of wear or damage
Immediately discontinue use of the strap if any significant wear, fraying, cuts, or damage to the webbing, stitching, ratchet, or hooks are observed. Replace the strap with a new one.
Strap loosens over time
Re-tension the strap periodically, especially in environments with significant vibration. Ensure both anchor points are stable and not loosening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Thread the webbing through the ratchet mechanism.
- Attach the second twisted snap hook to another anchor point.
- Use the ratchet mechanism to tighten the webbing, creating a taut barrier. Ensure the strap is firmly secured and has no excessive slack.
Compatibility:
This strap is designed to connect to standard vehicle anchor points, structural anchor points, and safety harness anchor points capable of withstanding the forces associated with fall protection. Always ensure anchor points are rated appropriately for safety applications.
Care:
- Inspect the strap regularly for any signs of wear, such as fraying, cuts, or damage to the webbing, ratchet mechanism, or snap hooks.
- Clean the strap with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can degrade the polyester material.
- Store the strap in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Ensure the "FALL PROTECTION ONLY" label remains visible and legible.
