CLEANING
• Dry damp personal protective equipment in
the air, not on artificial heat sources. Dry met-
al components with cloths.
• Clean soiled textile components (e.g. arrester
harnesses and ropes) with lukewarm water
and a little detergent for delicates. Then rinse
carefully and allow to dry in the air. Other
cleaning agents are not allowed!
• If disinfection is necessary, please contact the
e-mail hotline:
• If the personal protective equipment comes
into contact with salt-water, keep it wet until
it can be rinsed with plenty of distilled water.
LIFE SPAN
The following recommendation applies for the
use of the BOOT:
Maximum usage period after being used for
the first time:
8 years
In ideal storage conditions and annual inspec-
tions, the product may be stored for up to
3 more years before it is used for the first time
without impacting on the stated maximum us-
age period. Every further year in storage reduc-
es the final maximum allowed usage period by
1 year.
Metal parts are not subject to age-related life
span deadlines. The expert makes a decision
based on his technical expertise and the latest
version of the standard.
The service life can only be prolonged by means
of regular expert inspections and the replace-
ment of age-related worn parts (e.g. ageing of
textile components).
For reasons of safety, intensive use and/or ex-
treme application conditions such as sharp
edges, chemical influences, UV radiation etc.
will reduce the usage period. The company
owner needs to take this into account in the
workplace risk analysis.
The company owner must ensure compliance
with the maximum usage period by document-
ing first-time use in the test card.
The test card at the end of this user manual
must be presented during the regular expert
inspections and be completed with the certifi-
cate by the manufacturer or an expert briefed
about the inspection of the device.
