THE VALUES SHOWN BELOW ARE INDICATIVE. TO BE CONFIRMED BY YOUR DISTRIBUTOR, RETAILER, ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF YOUR BOATS. WHEN SETTING YOUR DOCK LINES (4 LINES IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS), WE RECOMMEND ENSURING THAT THERE ARE NO SHARP ELEMENTS OR VERY ABRASIVE SURFACES.

Be careful not to soak your dock lines with chemical products, gasoline or paint. Be careful, when setting up, to avoid twisting the dock lines excessively. Rinse off salt deposits regularly with fresh water. High-pressure washing is strongly advised against (there is a risk of abrasive elements penetrating the synthetic fibres).

Our high tenacity fibre ropes have good UV resistance, but it is advisable to limit sun exposure.

PLEASE NOTE

Given the significant elongation of ropes under high working loads, it is advised to keep away from the traction axis when the rope is under tension. In case of rupture, a rope can back-lash violently and cause significant injuries or material damage due to the energy developed.

Cousin Trestec accepts no responsibility in case of misuse of its products.
