After the Spike Belt system has been used, it should be carefully inspected and a new Spike Belt Re-built. The sleeve must be opened and inspected for damaged and good sections.
INSPECT
When inspecting the Spike-Belt, open the deployment sleeve by disconnecting the winder.
STRIP REPLACEMENT
When the system is hit one or more sections might need to be replaced. In this case the spikes push through Strip, and the deployment sleeve and damages both.
Take out the damaged strip(s) and set them aside to later build a trainer unit. Save the good Strips to assemble into a new deployment sleeve to build your new Spike Belt.
DO NOT REUSE THE DAMAGED SLEEVE
Spike Devil provides a rebuild kit, which is a sleeve with two new Strips already installed. Insert the good strips from your original strip into the new sleeve (Re-Build kit). Re-connect the winder to your new Spike Belt.
Wind up the Cord on your winder and inspect the winder and cord to assure it has no debris and is in good condition.
Deploy the unit to test that the system is properly assembled. With the Spike-Strip expanded, and retrieved it should test that the spike strips are in place and the sleeve fastened to the cord reel.
TRAINING UNITS
The old sleeve serves for a training sleeve. Pull the patch on the Spike Belt to designate it as a trainer unit. If you have a trainer patch attach it to the velcro on the sleeve to identify it as a trainer model. Old Strips can be used as trainers if Spikes are pulled. Open all the Strips and pull the spikes from them. The Card board cover can be reattached and the unit taped up, to turn it into a trainer Strip.
To depose of the Strips, read on the label for recycling instructions.
