6.0 MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, STORAGE
6.1
Clean lanyard with water and a mild detergent solution. Wipe off hardware with a clean, dry cloth, and
hang to air dry. Do not force dry with heat. If you have any questions regarding cleaning of this equipment,
or require more information, contact DBI-SALA. An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc., may prevent the
lanyard from working properly, and in severe cases degrade the webbing or rope to a point where it has
become weakened and should be removed from service. If you have any questions concerning the condition
of your lanyard, or have any doubt about putting it into service, contact DBI-SALA.
6.2
Additional maintenance and servicing procedures (replacement parts) must be completed by a factory
authorized service center. Authorization must be in writing. Do not disassemble the unit. See section 5.1 for
inspection frequency.
6.3
Store the lanyard in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapors
may exist. Thoroughly inspect the lanyard or energy absorber component after extended storage.
