WARNING
All stated limit values for the inspection intervals
apply only for devices and ropes that do not show
signs of wear. The above limits can be achieved by
the cummulation of use. Consideration must be
given not to surpass the above limits, inspections
should be performed prior to reaching the limits
and prior to storing the units for a next use.
9.2 A visual inspection must be completed prior to
each use. A competent person must inspect all
equipment periodically, at least once a year and
log all information relating to the inspection.
If damage is detected as described below,
remove the item from service immediately
and replace it. If any damage or questionable
conditions are apparent and are not described
below, remove the item from service, replace it
and contact Tractel

for advice.
9.2.1 If corrosive environments are unavoidable or
the units are to be used for training, increase
frequency of inspection to ensure that the
integrity of the system and its components
remains uncompromised.
9.2.2 Failure to remove equipment that has been
damaged or is in questionable condition could
lead to serious or fatal injury. A detailed record of
inspection should be maintained. See pages 18
and 19 for suggested record sheets.
9.3 Devices at training facilities
When the derope
®
descent device system is
used for training, greater care must be taken to
ensure the inspection is performed thorougly
by a competent person at the end of each
training day, even if the aforementioned limit
values for the inspection intervals were not
reached during the previous training.
WARNING

spring should exert enough force to firmly close
the gate. Special attention must be paid to the
mechanism, which should close adequately.
The safety bar of the autolocking carabiner
must complete its rotation when closed.
9.4.5 Rope – The rope must be visually/manually
inspected along its entire length for the
following wear appearance/defects/damage;
