PMS 123C
Correct maintenance of your PPE will ensure a longer useful life for the product
and guarantee your safety.
You must strictly follow these recommendations:
• Clean with water and soft soap. Under no circumstances should you use acidic

• Allow the device to dry naturally in a ventilated area away from any direct flame
or other heat source.
6 - CHECK BEFORE USE
When first used:
•
Enter the marking information on the identification sheet.
Appendices 4 and 5.
It is your responsibility to keep this sheet up to date and in a safe place. If there are
no entries on the identification sheet, the product will be considered not to have
been maintained and no warranty will be provided by the manufacturer.
BEFORE EACH USE:
Before each use, a careful visual check of the PPE is required to ensure that it is
undamaged. A similar check of any other equipment to which it may be attached
(harness-belt, anchor points, connectors etc.) should also be carried out (See
Fig. 3) and arrangements for safe rescue should also be made.
Should your product be damaged, consult the manufacturer or their
representative. If you have any doubt about the condition of a product or if the
product has been used to stop a fall (Fall indicator light illuminated, (See Fig. 6 ) it
is essential for your safety that the PPE be withdrawn from use and returned to the
manufacturer or to an accredited repair centre for verification or destruction.
Before such a PPE is used again, it is your responsibility to obtain written
authorisation from your repairer to resume the use of the product. Otherwise, we
cannot be held responsible in the event of a product malfunction.
It is strictly forbidden for you to modify a PPE or repair one yourself (See Fig.
13).
Before any use, check:
• That the scheduled date for the next periodic inspection has not passed
Appendix 5
• That the cable feeds out to and retracts from its full extent normally.
• That the locking feature works by pulling sharply on the cable, which should
lock instantly - (See Fig. 15)
• That all of the device is in a perfect condition and that all bolts are present and
correctly tightened.
• That the end of the cable is correctly sheathed and that the loop is in good
condition.
• That the caribiners supplied with the device are working and lock correctly.
• That there is no trace of corrosion on the metal components.
