If used as a bull rope 2 Conforms to Canadian Spec. The rope should be removed by pulling it off the top while the reel is free to rotate. To proceed in any other manner may cause kinks or strand distortion. If a rope fails it can recoil with lethal force. Synthetic rope has higher recoil tendencies than natural fiber rope.
Reverse rope ends regularly.
This permits even wearing and assures a longer, useful life. When using tackle or slings, apply a steady, even pull to get full strength from rope. Because of the wide range of rope use, exposure to the several factors affecting rope behavior, and the degree of risk to life and property involved, it is impossible to make blanket recommendations as to working loads. However, to provide guidelines, working loads are tabulated for rope in good condition with appropriate splices, in non-critical applications and under normal service conditions. For all such applications and for applications involving more serious exposure conditions, or for recommendations on special applications, consult the manufacturer.
