Synthetic Rope

Examples that indicate a synthetic rope should be replaced include:

Powdered fibers in the inner layers of the rope.
Localized discoloration (indicates the rope has been exposed to chemicals from the vehicle such as oil or coolant).
Rope fibers are frayed (fuzzy), or cut.
Visual damage such as abrasion or cuts.
Flat areas or lumps on the rope that cannot be eliminated by flexing the rope.
Glazed or stiff areas caused by fused or melted fibers.

During the first uses of a synthetic rope, outer fibers will break and roughen the surface of the rope and appear to fuzz up. Slight roughness is normal, but if a synthetic rope continues to roughen or abrade it is an indication the rope is damaged and may break under tension.
