Troubleshooting
Rug slipping or shifting while the horse moves
Adjust the length of the cross surcingles to ensure a tighter, more secure fit around the horse's midsection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the HKM Reflection Cooler, drape the rug over the horse's back, ensuring the neck portion is pulled forward smoothly. Secure the front fasteners first, then adjust the cross surcingles so they are snug but not tight. For care, the product is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Always ensure all metal buckles are closed before placing the rug in the machine to prevent damage to the drum or the fabric. While it is tumble dryer safe, line drying is recommended to extend the life of the reflective material.
