Care, Maintenance and Storage

8. Care, Maintenance and Storage
8.1.

Cleaning

Clean the lanyard with a solution of water and mild laundry detergent. Do not use chemicals, harsh
detergents or pressure washers. Rinse with clear water. Dry hardware with a clean cloth and hang to air dry.
Do not speed dry with heat. Excessive accumulation of dirt, paint or other foreign matter may prevent proper
function of the lanyard, and, in severe cases, weaken the webbing. Contact MSA with questions concerning
lanyard conditions and cleaning.
8.2.

Maintenance and Repairs

Tag damaged equipment or equipment needing maintenance as "UNUSABLE" and remove from service.
Repair and maintenance (other than cleaning) must be performed by MSA. Do not attempt to repair an MSA
lanyard. The moving parts of snaphooks and carabiners may require periodic lubrication with low viscosity
penetrating oil. Follow lubricant manufacturer's instructions. Do not over-lubricate. Wipe excess with a clean,
dry cloth.
8.2.1

Storage

Store the lanyard in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where heat, moisture, light,
oil, and chemicals or their vapors or other degrading elements may be present. Equipment which is damaged
or in need of maintenance should not be stored in the same area as usable equipment. Heavily soiled, wet,
or otherwise contaminated equipment should be properly maintained (e.g. dried and cleaned) prior to
storage. Prior to using equipment which has been stored for long periods of time, a formal inspection
(see 10.2 Formal Inspection) should be performed by a competent person.
