MODEL NO: TD Series

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these

instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE

THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR

PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1. SAFETY

9 In selecting and using web lashings, consideration shall be given to the required lashing capacity, taking into account the mode

of use and the nature of the load to be secured. The size, shape and weight of the load, together with the intended method of use,

 transportenvironmentandthenatureoftheloadwillaectthecorrectselection.

9 For stability reasons free-standing units of load have to be secured with a minimum of one pair of web lashings for frictional lashing

and two pairs of web lashing for diagonal lashing.

9 The selected web lashings shall both be strong enough and of the correct length for the mode of use. Basic lashing rules:

 •Planthettingandremovaloperationsoflashingbeforestartingajourney;

 •Keepinmindthatduringjourneyspartsoftheloadmayhavetobeunloaded;

• Calculate the number of web lashings according to pr EN 12195-1.

 •OnlythoseweblashingsdesignedforfrictionallashingwithSTFonthelabelaretobeusedforfrictionallashing;

 •Checkthetensionforceperiodically,especiallyshortlyafterstartingthejourney.

9 Becauseofdierentbehaviourandelongationunderloadconditions,dierentlashingequipment(e.g.lashingchainandweb 

 lashings)shallnotbeusedtolashthesameload.Considerationshallalsobegiventoancillaryttings(components)andlashing

devices in the load restraint assembly are compatible with the web lashing.

9 Duringuseathooksshallengageoverthecompletewidthofthebearingsurfaceofthehook.

9 Release of the web lashing: Care should be taken to ensure that the stability of the load is independent of the lashing equipment and

 thatthereleaseoftheweblashingshallnotcausetheloadtofallothevehicle,thusendangeringthepersonnel.Ifnecessaryattach

lifting equipment for further transport to the load before releasing the tensioning device in order to prevent accidental falling and/or

tilting of the load. This applies as well when using tensioning devices which allow controlled removal.

9 Before attempting to unload a unit of load its web lashings shall be released so that it can be lifted freely from the load platform.

9 During loading and unloading attention has to be paid to proximity of any low overhead power lines.

9 The materials from which web lashings are manufactured have a selective resistance to chemical attack. Seek the advice of the

 manufacturerorsupplierifexposuretochemicalsisanticipated.Itshouldbenotedthattheeectsofchemicalsmayincreasewith

 risingtemperature.Theresistanceofman-madebrestochemicalsissummarizedbelow.

9 Polyamidesarevirtuallyimmunetotheeectsofalkalis.However,theyareattackedbymineralacids.

9 Polyester is resistant to mineral acids but is attacked by alkalis.

9 Polypropyleneislittleaectedbyacidsandalkalisandissuitableforapplicationswherehighresistancetochemicals(otherthan

certain organic solvents) is required.

9 Solutionsofacidsoralkaliswhichareharmlessmaybecomesucientlyconcentratedbyevaporationtocausedamage.Take 

contaminated webbings out of service at once, thoroughly soak them in cold water, and dry naturally.

9 Web lashings complying with this Part of EN 12195 are suitable for use in the following temperature ranges:

 -40°Cto+80°Cforpolypropylene(PP);

 -40°Cto+100°Cforpolyamide(PA);

 -40°Cto+120°Cforpolyester(PES).

9 These ranges may vary in a chemical environment. In that case the advice of the manufacturer or supplier shall be sought.

9 Changingtheenvironmentaltemperatureduringtransportmayaecttheforcesintheweblashing.Checkthetensionforceafter

entering warm areas.

9 Weblashingsshallberejectedorreturnedtothemanufacturerforrepairiftheyshowanysignsofdamage.

9 The following criteria are considered to be signs of damage:

 •Onlyweblashingsbearingidenticationlabelsshallberepaired;

• If there is any accidental contact with chemical products, a web lashing shall be removed from service and the manufacturer or

 suppliershallbeconsulted;

 •forweblashings(toberejected):tears,cuts,nicksandbreaksinloadbearingbresandretainingstitches;deformationsresulting

 fromexposuretoheat;

 •forendttingsandtensioningdevices:deformations,splits,pronouncedsignsofwear,signsofcorrosion.

9 Careshouldbetakenthattheweblashingisnotdamagedbythesharpedgesoftheloadonwhichitisused.Avisualinspection

before and after each use is recommended.

9 Only legibly marked and labelled web lashings shall be used.

9 Weblashingsshallnotbeoverloaded:Onlythemaximumhandforceof500N(50daNonthelabel;1daN=1kg)shallbeapplied.

Mechanical aids such as levers, bars etc. as extensions are not to be used unless they are part of the tensioning device.

9 Web lashings shall never be used when knotted.
