USE / LIMITATIONS OF USE
8. MAINTENANCE
Only the manufacturer is permitted to carry out repairs.
9. SERVICE LIFE
The theoretically possible period of use is up 5 years from the time when the product
is first removed from the undamaged package (only when used infrequently (1
week per year) and stored properly (see Chapter “Transport, Storage and Cleaning”)). The product
must be retired no later than after 5 years of use. It is assumed that the product will be removed from its
package upon purchase. We recommend keeping the sales receipt.
The theoretically possible total lifetime (proper storage prior to first r
use) is limited to 10 years from the date of manufacture.
Actual useful life depends solely on the condition of the product which is influenced by various factors
(see below). The lifespan could be as short as first use under extreme conditions, or even less if dama-
ged (e.g. in transit) prior to first use. Mechanical wear or other influences such as the effects of sunlight
seriously reduce useful life. Bleached or rubbed fibers / belt straps, discoloring and hardening are a sure
sign that the product should be withdrawn from use.
We expressly refrain from making any general statements about the useful life of the product, since it
depends on a variety of factors such as UV light, the type and frequency of use, treatment, the effects of
weathering such as snow, the environment such as salt, sand, battery acid, and many more factors.
In general, the following rule applies: If the user, for whatever reason – however insignificant it may seem
– is uncertain whether or not the product meets all the necessary criteria, either reject it from service
and render unusable, or place in quarantine and label in an obvious manner so that it cannot be used by
mistake. Only return to service following the written authorisation of a competent person.
The product must be replaced without fail after a fall!
