Maintenance and Storage

1. Maintenance  and  storage  of  equipment  shall  be

conducted by the user’s organization in accordance

with MSA instructions. Unique issues, which may arise

due to conditions of use, shall be addressed with MSA.

2. Equipment  which  is  in  need  of  or  scheduled  for

maintenance shall be tagged as “do not use” and

removed from service.

3. Store in a clean dry area free from excessive heat,

steam, sunlight, harmful fumes, corrosive agents and

rodents.

4. Periodically  lubricate  carabiner  gate  with  a  light

oil.  Remove  excess  oil  to  avoid  contamination.

Do not make any modification to the device.  Consult

Surety Manufacturing and Testing Ltd. for special

applications and uses.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE PROVIDED TO THE USER.  MANAGEMENT AND USER MUST READ

AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS; FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY

OR DEATH.

Do  not  use  knots  unless  tied  and  sealed  by

manufacturer.  Knots will decrease the strength of

the rope and may inadvertently release if not tied

correctly.

The entire length of rope must be free of tar, glue,

tape, knotting, pilling, twists or anything which may

prevent  it  from  moving  through  the  pulleys.

Ensure carabiner gates are closed and locked

before use.  Clothing or webbing may get caught

in the gate and prevent it from closing completely.

A carabiner loaded with the gate partially or fully

open can fail at values well below the rated strength.

Use only approved rope with the system.

Protect the rope from sharp or abrupt edges.  Rope

strength will be seriously reduced or rope may fail.

Use  approved  anchor  points  which  meet  local

government regulations.

Do  not  make  any  modifications  to  the  device.
