Ratchet straps-Cargo tie Down-operating choosing

4HOW TO CHOOSE A TIE-DOWN
Usually recommends using a minimum of two (2) Tie-Downs to secure cargo and prevent load shift.  Each Tie-Down should have a Working Load Limit equal to or greater than the weight of your cargo.

4WORKING LOAD LIMIT
The maximum cargo weight a Tie-Down can safely handle and still accommodate unexpected forces caused by speed, road conditions or emergencies. The Industry Standard for Working Load Limit is 1/3 the Break-Strength of the Tie-Down assembly.

4OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
   FOR RATCHET TIE-DOWNS
1. Place webbing over load and attach
    hooks to solid anchor points.

2. Insert webbing through ratchet reel
    and pull until ALL slack is out of
    webbing. (Figure 1 -see chart below)

3. Pump ratchet handle to make webbing
    tight. Ratchet reel must have at least
    two layers of webbing wound around it.

4. CAUTION, too many layers of webbing
    will jam ratchet. If too much web is piling
    on ratchet reel, start procedure over, first
    removing ALL slack from webbing over
    load.

5. After load is secured, move handle down
    flat for transit. (Figure 2 - see chart)

6. To release, compress release bar and
    open handle 180 degrees. (Figure 3)
