Battery recharge

Instructions
Preferably, use nylon webbing or dyneema webbing to attach the Progressor directly to the anchor point, and the preferred accessories. You can use carabiners as well, but this may create excessive wear on the load cell body.
For the most accurate load readings avoid using chains as these are more prone to introduce torsion when being tensioned. The mass of the chain can also introduce vibrations when being tensioned.
Care and maintenance
Keep in mind that everything wears over time. Even the best materials will at some point become subject to failure. Before and after each use, check for damages to the equipment and anchor points. If there is any concern about the condition of this product, stop using it immediately.
Keep your Progressor in a dry environment and not exposed to direct sunlight or heat. Avoid all contact with chemicals which can destroy the product. Isopropanol or surface disinfectants may be used to clean the outside of the device. Do not immerse in water or liquids.
