Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your LEKATO LGS7 Leather Bass/Guitar Strap.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for genuine leather products. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the strap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent drying or cracking of the leather. When not in use, you may roll it neatly to maintain its shape.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your LEKATO LGS7 strap, consider the following common solutions:
- Strap feels too stiff: New leather straps can sometimes feel stiff. Regular use will naturally soften the leather. You may also apply a leather conditioner to help expedite this process.
- Strap is uncomfortable: Ensure the strap is adjusted to the correct length for your playing style and body. The padded section should rest comfortably on your shoulder. If discomfort persists, verify that the strap is not twisted or improperly positioned.
- Strap detaches from instrument: Always ensure the strap ends are securely fastened to the instrument's strap buttons. For added security, consider using strap locks (sold separately) to prevent accidental detachment.
