Important info concerning strap products:
Please use all products only for which they were
intended.
Note:
QuickStraps and other backboard straps are intended
to be used as backboard straps only.
DO NOT
USE AS GURNEY OR IN-VEHICLE RESTRAINTS.
Note: When tightening straps with
adjustable buckles, such as on the “EZ Carry” Hose
Carrier, you should do the adjustment first –
then close the buckle. You will get a much tighter adjustment and prevent the
buckle from breaking. It may take a few tries to get it where you want it.
Tip: With the
“EZ Carry” the secret in getting the hose bundle not to sag in the middle is
to, after making the accordion folds, put a 90° twist in the entire bundle.
Tip: When using the
"HydrantLoop" be sure to have at least 9 feet of
folded LDH in the adjustable loop. This will ensure you will have enough
slack to connect to the hydrant.
Note: On the
"Irons Tote Strap," please attach
the strap and carry the irons as indicated in the brochure. We can not
ensure your safety if you try other configurations
Important info concerning cleaning strap and bag products:
Tip. Just use a hair brush to remove dry dirt
from fabric. Hook and loop can be cleaned with a
grill brush by bushing across the hook grain.
Tip. Try to remove smaller spots with
plain soap and water. DO NOT USE A SPOT REMOVER.
Tip. Nylon is made
from petroleum. Cordura is also nylon. Therefore, avoid getting other petroleum products on the fabric.
Never use gasoline, oil, or other such products on your straps or bags. It
will stain and the stain will be
permanent.
Note. Zipper and other hardware is made of acetal or Delrin. It
is a very durable material but has a very narrow PH range.
DO NOT GET ANY ACIDIC OR CAUSTIC CLEANERS ON ZIPPERS OR HARDWARE. It
turns them to sugar!
Note. If your strap or bag becomes soiled or contaminated by body fluids it must
be washed using a mild soap (such as Joy) and water with
chlorine bleach. To hand wash, mix small amount of soap in at
least two
gallons of water, add
one-half cup of Chlorine bleach
and mix well before using. To machine wash, fill machine to "high"
or "full-load" level, add normal laundry detergent and 1/2 cup of chlorine
bleach then agitate until will mixed before adding fabric. Additional
recommended procedures:
(1) Remove
all bag contents.
(2) Remove all removable plastic inserts and bottoms. Some of these are held in with
hook and loop
fasteners, others just snap in.
(3) Clip off all loose threads and frayed fabric, especially on the
inside seams.
(4) Remove loose dirt with a stiff brush.
(5) Using a regular liquid laundry detergent, re-treat any nastyspots by rubbing
the detergent into the
fabric. NO NOT USE
SPOT REMOVERS OR OTHER
CLEANING FLUIDS.
(6) If using a machine:
a. Use gentle cycle, warm water, full-load level.
b. Fill machine with water FIRST,
then add normal amount of your regular laundry
detergent and ˝ cup of
chlorine bleach.
c. Agitate to mix.
d. Add bags, wash and rinse for normal cycle.
DO NOT SPIN
DRY AFTER RINSE CYCLE.
e. Remove bags and drip dry. Fabric sizers may be used
to
remove wrinkles, if necessary.
(7) Hand wash using same general procedures.
DO NOT APPLY ANY BLEACH DIRECTLY
TO FABRIC OR
HARDWARE.
(8) Check for and clip any loose threads and frayed fabric.
(9) Replace plastic inserts when dry. YOU ARE
GOOD TO GO!

Zippers.
Rhino uses the
finest zipper material available. Most of our zipper chain is made from
molded acetal or Delrin on a nylon or polyester tape. This is a very
strong, light weight, durable material that has a good life span under normal
operating conditions. However, it does have a very narrow PH range.
It if comes in contact with fluids that are highly acidic or caustic it will
crumble like sugar. Please be careful of any cleaning or disinfectant
fluids, especially the caustic ones. Never use them full strength. A
good rule; if it burns your skin it will probably destroy the zipper.
For normal
cleaning we recommend brushing away the dirt or washing with just plain soap and
water. If it is contaminated with body fluids then you can add the
chorine bleach as above.
You can also occasionally
put a little KY Jelly on the zipper teeth. DO NOT USE motor oil or other
petroleum based lubricants.
