CARING FOR ROPE

A good rope is expensive and should not be handled carelessly. Keep it clean and free of mud or grease. If it is damp, do not coil or store it until it is throughly dried out. Always keep it in a dry place. It should never be thrown into a corner to tangle and kink. When a job is finished, the rope should be placed where it will be available instantly, if necessary, and should be coiled so that it will pay out smoothly when needed.
