If this product is used in combination with other components
of a rescue/fall arrest system, users must acquaint themselves
and comply with the enclosed documentation, notes and in-
structions for these components prior to use. This equipment
should only be used in connection with parts of Personal Pro-
tective Equipment (PPE) bearing the CE-symbol to protect indi-
viduals against falls from heights.
If original components are modified or removed from the product
,
its function maybe impaired. The equipment should not be
modified or altered in any way to allow the attachment of addi -
tional parts without the manufacturer’s written recommendation.
The equipment must be checked for possible damage before
and after each use. It must be ensured that the equipment is
serviceable and fully functional. The equipment must be dis-
carded immediately if there is even the slightest doubt regarding
the safety of the product.
WARNING! The products must be kept away from harmful envi-
ronments. This includes contact with corrosive and aggressive
substances (e.g. acids, alkalis, soldering water, oils, cleaning
agents), as well as extreme temperatures and flying sparks.
In addition, sharp edges, wetness and icing can diminish the
stability of textiles!
CLIMATE REQUIREMENTS
The safe constant temperature range for the product (in dry
conditions) ranges from approx. -20°C to +55°C.
LIFESPAN AND REPLACEMENT
The lifespan of the product depends mainly on the frequency
and the way in which it is used and external influences.
Products made from synthetic fibres (Polyamide, Polyester,
Dyneema ® , Aramid) are subject to certain ageing processes
even if they are not used. These are caused by the intensity of
UV-rays and environmental influences.
Maximum lifespan under optimal storage conditions (see section
on storage) and without use: 12 years
OCCASIONAL USE
Occasional and appropriate use without obvious wear and tear
and with optimal storage: 8 years. Commercial use can reduce
the life span to less than 2 years.
FREQUENT OR EXTREME USE, CATCH LOAD
Following a fall load (fall factor > 1) or in the event of damage,
the Personal Protection Equipment product should be with-
drawn from use immediately and returned to an expert or the
manufacturer for detailed inspection and possible repair. An
account of the fall or events leading to the damage should be
included.
As a general rule, PPE products must be replaced immediately,
for example, if webbing products have frayed edges or fibres
are torn out of the weave, if stitching shows signs of damage
and/or abrasion or if the product has been in contact with
chemicals.
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or in ac-
cordance with procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
INSPECTION
The product must be regularly inspected and maintained on a
yearly basis or earlier if necessary, by the manufacturer or an
authorised testing centre.
In the process, it must be ensured among other things that the
product labelling is legible.
Once the above-mentioned 8 years period of use has been
exceeded, the personal protection equipment product must be
withdrawn from further use. Commercial use can reduce the
life span to less than 2 years.
STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND CARE
STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry, dark place and not in the transport pack-
aging.
