Compatibility
Before each use
Check the webbing at the attachment
points, at the adjustment buckles and at
the safety stitching.
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
threads.
Verify that the DoubleBack and FAST
buckles operate properly.
Verify the GATED RINGS: body, spacer,
screw securely tightened.
During each use
It is important to regularly inspect the
condition of the product. Check its
connections with the other equipment in
the system and make sure that the various
pieces of equipment in the system are
correctly positioned with respect to each
other.
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
a PETZL distributor if there is any doubt
about the condition of this product.
Verify the compatibility of this product with the other
components of your equipment (compatibility = good
interaction when used together).
Compatibility between Attachment point and Connectors
An incompatible connection can cause accidental
disconnection, breakage, or affect the safety function of
another piece of equipment.
WARNING, the attachment points of your harness can act as
a lever on the gate of a connector. When a sudden tension
comes onto the rope and/or an external pressure on the
locking system, and the connector is poorly positioned, the
locking sleeve can break and the gate can open itself.
To reduce this risk:
1. Verify that the gate is securely closed and locked by
pressing it with your hand.
2. Check that your connectors are properly positioned each
time the system is loaded (lanyard, descender, etc.).
3. Make sure your connectors are compatible with the
attachment points (shape, size, etc.). Do not use any
connectors that have a tendency to stay in an incorrect
position.
Any equipment attached to your harness (anchors, locking
connectors, absorbers etc) must conform to EN standards.
For your safety, get into the habit of always making your safety
systems redundant.
Contact a Petzl distributor if you are uncertain about the
compatibility of your equipment.
