As a result, if accessory cord is purchased off a spool at a retailer, you should always carefully inspect the cord as it is possible that it may contain a splice. NOTE: a splice is not intended to hold any load, and the length of accessory cord with a splice should NEVER be used without removing the splice and separating the sections.
Accordingly, we are asking you to check any accessory cord you may have purchased, by running your hand along the length of the cord while looking and feeling for a splice. Inspect any spools by unspooling the cord into a clean container while looking and feeling for a splice, as shown in the photo on page 1 of this notice. If a splice is found, please remove the splice and separate the sections of accessory cord so that the cord is not inadvertently used as a single piece. Please rest assured that any accessory cord contained on a spool with a splice, otherwise meets all specifications and is safe to use so long as the splice is removed and not loaded in your application.
If you have any questions, or if you would like to return any accessory cord spool from the list above for a free replacement, please contact Cypher at 801.307.9306 or email customer service at [email protected].
