Proper Use & Warnings
To properly use a bungee cord, follow these steps:
- Determine the length of the bungee cord needed to secure the load. It should be long enough to reach around the load and allow for proper tension, but not so long that it becomes tangled or excess cord hangs loose.
- Begin by attaching one end of the bungee cord to the anchor point on the load. This could be a hook, a D-ring, or some other type of securing point.
- Take the other end of the bungee cord and stretch it over the load to the other anchor point. Attach the bungee cord to the second anchor point using the hook or other fastening device.
- The bungee cord should be tightened enough to hold the load securely in place, but not so tight that it causes damage to the load or the cord itself. To remove the bungee cord, simply reverse the process, releasing the cord from the anchor points and carefully coiling it up for storage. Be sure to store the bungee cord in a dry place to avoid damage.
Warning:
- Bungee cords are designed for temporary use only.
- Do not use for permanent support or as a replacement for traditional cables or ropes.
- Use caution when stretching and releasing bungee cords, as they may snap back with force.
- Inspect bungee cords before each use for wear or damage. Do not use bungee cords if they are frayed, cut, or otherwise damaged.
- Do not use only bungee cords to secure heavy loads. Use rated WIL ratchet straps for heavy loads.
- Use caution when attaching bungee cords to anchor points, as improper attachment can result in accidents or injuries.
- Keep bungee cords away from children and pets.
- Use bungee cords responsibly and at your own risk.
- Follow Federal and State laws when securing loads.
