1. Preparation before installation
Check the ratchet buckle: Make sure the ratchet buckle is not damaged or deformed, and all parts are complete and functioning properly. Pay special attention to checking whether the locking mechanism is flexible and reliable.
Prepare the connection material: Select the appropriate rope, safety belt or other connection material according to actual needs, and ensure that its quality is reliable and undamaged.
2. Installation steps
Open the ratchet buckle: Gently press the unlocking button of the ratchet buckle or rotate the unlocking device to open the ratchet buckle.
Insert the connection material: Pass the prepared connection material (such as rope, safety belt) through the opening of the ratchet buckle to ensure that the connection material is flat and not twisted.
Lock the ratchet buckle: After passing the connection material through the ratchet buckle, quickly release the unlocking button or rotate the locking device to automatically lock the ratchet buckle to the connection material. At this time, you should hear a clear "click" sound or feel that the locking mechanism of the ratchet buckle has been firmly locked.
3. Adjustment and inspection
Adjust the tightness: Adjust the tightness of the connection material as needed. Some metal ratchet buckles may be equipped with an adjustment device that allows the user to adjust the fixed length or tightness as needed.
Check stability: After installation, gently pull the connecting material to check the stability of the ratchet buckle. Make sure that the ratchet buckle has firmly locked the connecting material without loosening or slipping.
Safety test: When conditions permit, perform a safety test to verify the load-bearing capacity and stability of the ratchet buckle. This can simulate the force in the actual use scenario by gradually increasing the pulling force.
4. Precautions
Follow the instructions: When installing and adjusting the metal ratchet buckle, be sure to follow the guidance steps and precautions in the product manual.
Avoid overloading: Make sure that the load-bearing capacity of the metal ratchet buckle meets the actual needs, and avoid damage or failure due to overloading.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the status and performance of the metal ratchet buckle during use to detect and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.
Correct storage: Store the metal ratchet buckle in a dry, ventilated, non-corrosive gas environment to avoid moisture, heat or corrosion.
