Before each use
Visually inspect the entire
length of the rope. Make
sure there are no burns,
nicks, tears, cut or frayed
threads, etc.
Check it in 30 cm intervals,
turning the rope to get a
complete inspection.
Using your fi ngers, check
if the core is damaged
or cut inside the sheath
(soft spots, breaks, loose
strands). Invisible internal
wear can be caused by
fl exing, or repetitive
loading (stretching),
phenomena that are
aggravated by moisture or
by an accumulation of solid
particles.
Sewn terminations
Look for cuts in the
webbing, wear and damage
due to use, to heat, and
to contact with chemical
products, etc. Be particularly
careful to check for cut or
damaged threads. Move the
protective covers and check
the safety stitching. Put the
protective covers back into
place.
During each use
It is important to regularly
inspect the condition of the
product.
Consult the details of the
inspection procedure to be
carried out for each item of
PPE on the Web at www.
petzl.com/ppe or on the
PETZL PPE CD-ROM.
Contact PETZL if there
is any doubt about the
condition of this product.

Compatibility
Verify that this product is
compatible with the other
elements of the system in your
application (compatible = good
functional interaction).
ATTENTION, a new, unwashed
rope is very slippery.
Make sure that your rope is
compatible with the devices
used on it (refer to the technical
notices for these other
products).
Any equipment attached to
your rope (anchors, locking
connectors, absorbers etc.)
must conform to applicable
standards.
Verify there are no burrs or
sharp edges on the connectors
and other devices (risk of
damaging your rope).
An incompatibility can cause
accidental disconnection,
breakage, or affect the safety
function of another piece of
equipment.
