Maintenance Information
To ensure the longevity and reliability of the NRS Guardian Wedge Waist Throw Bag, regular inspection and maintenance are essential.

Clean the bag and rope according to the manufacturer's instructions and allow them to dry completely before storing. Store the throw bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Replace any damaged components immediately to maintain the integrity of the rescue equipment.
