;
Do not clean and disinfect the
Lanyards
by any method other than described in the following “Cleaning Instructions”. Other
methods may have adverse effects on the
Lanyards
or user.
6.1 CLEANING: Cleaning procedures for Energy Absorbing Lanyard are as follows:
• Periodically clean the exterior of the Lanyard using water and a mild soap solution. Water temperature must not
exceed 40 °C (104 °F). Position the Lanyard so excess water can drain out. Do not dry-clean. Do not iron. Clean
labels as required.
• Clean the Web Lifeline with water and mild soap solution. Rinse and thoroughly air dry. Do not force dry with
heat. The lifeline should be dry before allowing it to retract into the housing. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint,
etc. may prevent the lifeline from fully retracting back into the housing causing a potential free fall hazard.

Lanyards
. Fabric softener or dryer sheets SHOULD NOT be
used when cleaning and drying the Lanyards
6.2 SERVICE: Lanyards are not repairable. If the Lanyard has been subjected to any damage or fall force, or inspection
