Before Each Use - SKYLOTEC DEUS 3300 Instructions D'utilisation

Before loading and using a vertical rescue system,
check every component of the system, including:
1) anchorage connector, 2) rope, 3) controlled
descent device, 4) connectors, 5) harness, and
6) the rescue transfer unit, if your system includes
this part. Pre-rigging as much of the system as
possible saves time and avoids mistakes. Ensure
that every component of your vertical rescue
system is safe and ready to use.
See the section titled "Care and Maintenance" for
specific procedures.
WARNING: If any of these inspections fail or
if you have any doubts about any component
of your vertical rescue system, do not use it.
Inspection increases the likelihood but does not
guarantee having a safe vertical rescue system
and inspection offers no additional warranty
rights above those contained in this manual.
