Answer: Proper maintenance and regular inspection are vital for the safety and service life of your draw ropes. We recommend the following practices:

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the rope to remove dirt, debris, and abrasive particles. Use a mild soap and water solution, then allow it to air dry completely before storage.

• Visual Inspection: Before every operation, conduct a thorough visual inspection for any signs of wear, such as cuts, fraying, broken strands, or excessive abrasion. Also, check for any discoloration or stiff spots, which could indicate chemical damage or heat damage.

• Proper Storage: Store ropes in a clean, dry, and dark environment, away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, which can degrade the rope's fibers over time.

• Proper Winding: Always wind the rope onto a reel or drum correctly to prevent twists, kinks, and tangles, which can compromise its strength. For our anti-twisting steel ropes, use a proper reel winder to maintain their structural integrity.
