6.0 maintenance. seRvicing and stoRage
6.4 Rollgliss™ Explorer™ ascenders are personal protective equipment (PPE) and need to be maintained to ensure a safe
working life.
recommended ascender user maintenance procedures:
A) Wash ascenders in clean water only. Attention should be given to the cam and latch to ensure any grit is removed and
they are moving smoothly. To remove grit or stubborn dirt and grime that can cause stiffness in the operation of the
cam, use a light cleaning agent such as WD40 or equivalent. When a cleaning agent is used ensure that all remnants
are washed off.
B) After washing, dry the ascender with a soft cloth and lightly oil the cam spring and latch spring. Remove excess
lubricant.
C) Inspect the cam for worn teeth which could interfere with the proper function of the ascender. If cam teeth are no
longer pointed or are flat, the ascender may slip under load. Discard the ascender if it fails this maintenance step.
D) If the ascender body or carabiner holes appear to be stressed, discard the unit.
E) Store in a clean and dry location.
note:
Service and/or repairs to the device shall only be carried out by the manufacturer and/or their representative
as authorized in writing.
