Directions for Use
|
|
To attach, be sure to have your
dog under control before attempting to attach lead/leash/rope. With
the lead/leash/rope clear from your legs and other limbs grab the dog
collar firmly and attach the lead/leash/rope by retracting bolt snap and
ensuring that it is secure.
|
|
|
To operate, hold the Marine
Dog® lead/leash/rope by the handle, not the lead/leash/rope.
The lead/leash/rope may sag so maintain a safe and steady pace clear of
any excess lead/leash/rope.
|
|
|
To walk and heal, use a firm
steady grip to pull the lead/leash/rope back slowly and moderately.
|
|
|
For closer control, use the
Marine Dog® healing lead. NEVER grab or pull the lead/leash/rope
or wrap it around your fingers.
|
|
|
To bring your Dog nearer, extend
your arm toward the dog and with a firm steady grip pull the lead/leash/rope
moderately and slowly so as to not excite the dog. Repeat as necessary.
|
|
|
To detach the snap of the leash,
ensure that your dog is under control and that the lead/leash/rope is
clear from your legs as well as the legs of the dog. Also ensure
that there are no diversions to excite the dog.
|
|
|
If wet, leave the lead/leash/rope
out to dry overnight. After the lead/leash/rope is dry, set is aside
in a safe place away from children. This will prevent the lead/leash/rope
from causing any bodily or facial harm in a routinely high traffic area
as well as keep your children safe.
|
|
|
The Marine Dog® lead/leash/rope
is for use by responsible adults only.

Cleaning & Maintenance
|
|
Dirt and salt can cause premature
wear. When exposed to these elements, wash with fresh water and
allow lead/leash/rope to dry. For excess dirt and grit, mix a little
mild detergent with a little fabric softener in warm water. Soak
a clean sponge in the solution and lather the lead/leash/rope with sponge
until the lead/leash/rope is wet … allow sitting time of 5 minutes, repeating
the application again with warm water only. Allow the lead/leash/rope
standing time to dry completely. Repeat process if necessary.
(DO NOT submerge the product in the solution … USE ONLY a sponge or clean
cloth for application).

To clean bolt snaps, O-ring
