annual inspections. After a max. of 10 years textile parts must be replaced and metal parts must be inspected by KRATOS SAFETY.
INSPECTION:
Inspection by KRATOS SAFETY or an authorized partner is only valid under the proviso that:
• components of this product have not been modified,
• textile parts have not been contaminated with chemicals,
• this product has not been exposed to temperatures under -40°C or over +65°C,
• metal parts have not fallen to the ground from more than 2m.
The equipment must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after a fall and at least every year, but in any case after a max-
imum cumulative length of 2 000 m (at 100 kg) by the manufacturer or a competent person authorised by the manufacturer, to
guarantee its conditions and thus the safety of the end user. Enter the cumulative length in the use protocol. If used as an emer-
gency equipment (= sealed in special packaging), the packaging has to be inspected at least once a year and in any case before each
use (damage, humidity etc.). If this packaging is damaged, it must be sent to KRATOS SAFETY or a competent person for inspection.
If not, it is not necessary to proceed with the annual inspection.
The shorter the descent height, the more often the rope will run through the descender device until the device has to be inspected.
After a max. cumulative length of 1 500 m, the rope has to be changed. If the rope does not seem safe anymore, send the device
to KRATOS SAFETY or a competent person to check and replace the rope.
The product data sheet should be completed (in writing) after each periodic verification. The date of inspection and date of the
next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet. It is also recommended to put the date of the next inspection on the product.
If you use this product in very harsh environments (extreme weather and use conditions, heavy descents and liftings) you have to
check this product more often.
