Strap not retracting smoothly
Ensure the strap is free of debris or dirt. Rinse with water and allow to dry. Check for any twists or kinks in the strap that might be obstructing the mechanism.
Strap feels loose or does not hold tension
Verify that the dual security lock is fully engaged. Ensure the strap is not frayed or damaged. Check that the anchor points are secure and have not shifted.
S-hook is difficult to attach or detach
Clean the S-hook and the anchor point to remove any dirt or corrosion. Gently wiggle the hook to free it.
