Troubleshooting

Hooks are difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the attachment points on the vehicles are clear of debris. Check the quick-release mechanism on the hook for obstructions and lubricate lightly if necessary. Do not force the hooks.

Rope appears stretched after use.

This is normal to a degree with polypropylene under load. However, if excessive stretching or permanent deformation occurs, inspect the rope for damage and consider replacement if integrity is compromised.

Hook mechanism not engaging properly.

Clean the mechanism thoroughly. Check for bent or damaged parts. If the mechanism is faulty, the rope should not be used.
