General information
Regular examination:
Regular periodical inspections must be carried out by a
competent person at least once a year and according to
manufacturer's recommendations. Furthermore, we
would sincerely recommend one set of equipment is
used by one person only as its history of use is best
traced and understood in this way.
• Before each use, it is vital to check all PPE equipment
intended to be used. Verify that all descender's
components (housing, handle, steel elements, button
and rope) are faultless and in good working condition.
Follow the procedures described at www.skylotec.com.
• Do not hesitate to retire the device if:
- It fails to pass the inspection.
- It shows significant wear, deformation, cracks and
corrosion.
- After an overload or a major impact. They could cause
internal or invisible damage that may significantly
weaken its strength. In case of uncertainty treat the
device as damaged or consult SKYLOTEC.
- When its full history of use is not known.
