Vorel ratchet strap 4 m 1000/2000daN instructions for use:
Before use, check the strap for wear or damage. Do not use a damaged strap. Make sure the ratchet mechanism works properly. Choose lashing points that can take the pressure of the load. Attach the hooks to the lashing points. Take the strap over the load and wrap it around the load if needed. Thread the strap through the ratchet mechanism and tighten it by pulling the loose end. Use the ratchet for the final tensioning of the strap. Make sure the strap is tight and the load is firmly secured. Wind the excess strap around the ratchet or secure it separately. Check the tension of the load regularly during the journey. Open the ratchet by pressing the release lever and pulling the handle. Detach the hooks from the lashing points and roll up the strap.
