The service life of a product cannot be calculated precisely in advance as it depends on many factors such as frequency of use, handling, weather influences, etc. As a basic principle, the product must be replaced immediately following:
extreme mechanical stress
if the stitching or webbing is damaged
if it is heavily and irreversibly soiled (e.g. with grease, bitumen, oil, etc.)
if it is exposed to high thermal stress, contact or friction heat,resulting in visible signs of fusing
following contact with aggressive chemicals
if the metal and/or synthetic material parts are corroded
once abrasion becomes apparent
Even under optimum storage conditions and infrequent use you should replace the product after a maximum of 7 years. Should you have the slightest doubt about the safety of the Slackline Set, replace it immediately.
Caution: never let the webbing straps in the Set come into contact with sharp edges, as this will have a pronounced effect on their service life.
