Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Rikä ratchet straps, hook both ends to solid, rated anchor points on your vehicle or storage area. Insert the loose end of the webbing into the mandrel slot and pull the excess slack through before operating the handle. Once the strap is snug, pump the ratchet handle to reach the desired tension. For care, keep the webbing dry and stored out of direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the fibers. Periodically clean the ratchet mechanism with a dry brush to remove debris or grit that could affect the release lever, and lightly lubricate the pivot points if the mechanism feels stiff.
