- Evite los productos químicos agresivos: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals (e.g., bleach, chlorine-based cleaners) as these can damage the stainless steel finish and promote corrosion.
- Inspect for Tension: Periodically check the tension of the cables. If any cables feel loose, re-tighten them using the turnbuckle mechanism.

7. Solución de problemas
A continuación se presentan algunos problemas comunes y sus posibles soluciones:
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
