KERBL 204112 Automatic Lashing Strap
SIMPLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: To Hook to Cargo Put handle on release position, simply extract
web by pulling out on S-hook. Fasten to appropriate attachment point on cargo
to avoid damage to cargo. Step 2: To Tighten: Shake the handle to tighten
the webbing, move the ratchet to close position Attention do not over tighten.
Step 3: Pull the release latch and open the ratchet lever by approx. 180°
to the end stop and engage Step 4: To Retract: Unfasten hook from cargo
attachment point, slightly pull webbing out about 1-2cm to release “self-lock”
function, then the webbing will retract gradually under suitable hand holding
force until fully retract back in the webbing housing. CAUTIONS:
The Retractable Ratchet Buckle allow webbing to retract or extend gradually
and will not secure cargo until the ratchet handle is fully engaged to tighten
strap. Pull on web-bing to make sure strap is in a locked position. When
ratcheting handle, do not over tighten. Over tightening webbing could exert
too much leverage, If an extra lever is used, damage to the load, tie-down and
possible injury to the user may result. Check tightness of the strap after
driving a short distance (not to exceed three miles) and tighten if necessary.
Check anchor points and tightness of strap every 20-30 miles and adjust as
required. Care must be taken to keep webbing from coming into contact with
sharp or abrasive edges that could cut or wear webbing. Periodic inspection of
this tie-down must be made to ensure that the hardware is not damaged or the
webbing cut or frayed. If such a condition exists, replace the tie-down at
once. This tie-down should only be used for its intended purpose. Any other
use can be dangerous.
Do not exceed safe working load for this tie-down.
Lashing strap, Safety and usage instructions
The required lashing strength (LC), the method of usage and the type of load
to be secured must be taken into account in the selection and use of lashing
straps. The size, shape and weight of the load determines the right selection,
and also the intended method of usage, the transport environment and the type
of the load. For reasons of stability, at least two lashing straps must be
used to strap the load down, and two pairs of lashing straps for diagonal
lashing. The selected lashing strap must be both strong enough and long enough
for the intended purpose, and have the right length for the type of lashing.
The fitting and removing of the lashing straps should be planned before
starting the journey. Only such lashing systems should be used that are
designated on the label as being suitable for lashing down with STF. If
possible, lay non-slip mats with a friction value of μ = min. 0.6. under the
load to be secured. This can reduce considerably the number of straps required
to secure the load, and will also increase load safety and traffic safety.
Always work with the greatest height angles possible, fitting the lashing at
the steepest possible angle! Due to the different properties and possible
changes in length under stress, different lashings (e.g. lashing chains and
lashing straps made of chemical fibres) must not be used for lashing the same
load. When using additional fittings and lashing devices, ensure that these are
suitable for the lashing straps. Pull the lashing tight before using the
ratchet. The lashing should be wound a maximum of 3 times round the ratchet
shaft. Open the lashing fastener: Before opening the fastener, ensure that the
load is still secure without the lashing, and that unloading personnel are not
at risk if the load falls. If necessary, any other fittings required for
further transport of the load should be fitted to the load in advance to
prevent it falling and/or tipping. Before starting unloading, the lashing must
be loo-sened so that the load can be moved freely. This lashing strap is made
of polyester, and is resistant to mineral acids, although not to caustic
solutions. Dirty lashing straps should be taken out of use immediately, rinsed
in cold water and allowed to dry in the air. This lashing strap is made of
polyester (PES), and is suitable for use at temperatures from – 40 °C to + 120
°C. Avoid exposure to very hot areas (over 120 °C) and caustic solutions. PES
is resistant to mineral acids. A change in the ambient temperature during
transport can affect the stress in the lashing strap. The lashing strength
should be checked when entering warmer regions. Lashing straps must not be
used if they are damaged in any way: For lashing straps: cracks, cuts, notches
and breaks in load-bearing fibres and seams, deformation due to the effects of
heat. For end fittings and tension elements: deformations, cracks, strong
indications of wear and corrosion. Ensure that the lashing strap is not
damaged by the edges of the load to which it is fitted. A regular visual check
is recommended before and after use. Use only lashing straps that are clearly
designated and provided with labels. Lashing straps must not be overtensioned:
the maximum manual force of 50 daN ( = ca. kg) must only be applied with one
hand. No mechanical aids such as bars or levers should be used. Lashing straps
must not be knotted or twisted. Damage to the labels should be avoided by
keeping them away from the edge of the load, and if possible also away from
the load itself. Lashing straps should be protected against wear and abrasion,
and damage from loads with sharp edges, by the use of protective covers or
corner protectors. Lashing straps must be used only for securing loads, and
not for lifting, towing or for personal safety. In order to keep ratchets in
good working order under frequent use, the moving parts should be lubricated
regularly. Keep these usage instructions together with your purchase receipt.
