REGULAR CHECKS

polyester fibres. Consequently, they should not be exposed to heat exceeding 100°C. If you
notice reactions such as discolouring or hardening, the product must be withdrawn for safety
reasons. The rope can shrink by up to 7% if exposed to humidity.
Accordingly, the rope should always be protected against dirt and placed in appropriate
packaging (rope bag) during transport.
Place the rope in the bag loosely and do not roll it up so as to avoid twisting.
Storage conditions:
dry and clean

at room temperature (15 – 25°C),

protected against the light (UV radiation, welding equipment, ...),

away from chemicals (liquids, vapours, gases, ...) and other aggressive conditions,

protected against sharp-edged object.

A light-proof rope bag provides good protection.
To clean the rope, rinse it with lukewarm water and wipe with a damp cloth. The damp rope
must be dried before storage. The rope should be left to dry naturally and not close to a fire
or other sources of heat. For disinfection, only use substances that have no influence on
the synthetic materials used.
You put yourself at risk by not complying with these conditions.
REGULAR CHECKS
The equipment must be inspected regularly without fail: your safety depends on the effec-
tiveness and durability of the equipment.
After every use, check the rope for possible damage. Inspect the rope visually from all
sides. Feel along a seemingly intact rope (tactile check) in order to detect any hidden core
damage that might have been caused by frequent bending or local overloading. If there is
visible damage to the sheathing, the rope must not be used under any circumstances. If the
rope shows swellings, discolouring or other unusual changes, we recommend withdrawing
the rope. Check the rope end sewing for worn or torn sewing thread. After every use, the
equipment should be checked for abrasion and cuts. Systems that have been damaged or
affected by a fall must be withdrawn from use immediately. If there is the slightest doubt, the
product must be withdrawn or inspected by an expert.
In addition, if the equipment is used in worker safety in accordance with the EN 365, it must
be inspected by the manufacturer or an expert complying precisely with the instructions, and
replaced if necessary at least every 12 months. Records must be kept of this inspection (do-
cumentation of the equipment, see enclosed inspection sheet).
