specifications contained in the "Documentation
of Equipment".
The compatibility of all components in the load chain
is of critical importance.
Ensure all neighbouring components are compatible.
Ensure all components are correctly configured.
Failure to do so increases risk of serious injury
or fatality.
It is the responsibility of the user that a relevant
and 'live' Risk Assessment is in place for the work
to be carried out which includes emergency con-
tingencies. A plan of rescue measures that covers
all foreseeable emergencies needs to be in place
before this product can be used. Prior to and during
use, rescue measures that can be executed safely
and effectively must be considered at all times.

5. WARNING

– If there exists only the slightest doubt about the safe
condition of the product, be sure to replace such
product immediately.
– A system that has been exposed to a fall shall be
retired, or be returned to the manufacturer or a duly
qualified repair shop for maintenance and testing.
– Snow, ice, and moisture may affect the product's
handling and strength.
– Be sure to avoid high temperatures, sharp edges,
and exposure to chemicals (e.g., acids). Rappel
slowly to prevent the generation of great heat. UV
radiation and abrasion have an adverse impact on
the rope and its strength.
– Knots in the rope may cause a significant reduction
of its breaking load.
6. TRANSPORT,
STORAGE AND CLEANING
Our product consists of aramide and PES. Aramides
are not UV stable. Sunlight and chemicals may at-
tack the material and cause it to lose in strength.
In the event of reactions such as discoloration or
hardening, the product must be retired for safety
reasons. When transporting the product, it must
always be protected form light and dirt and provided
with suitable packaging (moisture-repellent material
that is impervious to light).

Conditions of storage:
– Protected from light (UV radiation, welding
machines ...)
– Dry and clean
– At room temperature (15 - 25 °C)
– Not in the proximity of chemicals (acids, lyes, liquids,
vapours, gases, ...) and other aggressive
environments
– Protected against sharp-edged objects
Therefore, store the product dry and ventilated in
a moisture-repellent bag that is impervious to light.
For cleaning, use lukewarm water and – if available
– a rope detergent in accordance with the cleaning
instructions provided thereon. Do not use a textile
detergent. Following cleaning, rinse the product with
plenty of clear water. In any event, prior to storage
or use, allow the product to dry completely in a
natural way and not in direct sunlight, or near fires
or other heat sources.
For disinfection, use only such substances that
do not have an impact on the synthetic materials
used. Do not disinfect the product more often than
is absolutely necessary! We recommend the use
of isopropyl alcohol 70%. Apply the disinfectant
to the surface for about 3 minutes and allow the
product to dry naturally. Be sure to observe the
safety instructions for the use of the disinfectant.
If you fail to observe these provisions, you will be
putting yourself into danger!

7. REGULAR CHECKS

Checking the equipment at regular intervals is ab-
solutely necessary: your safety depends on the
effectiveness and durability of the equipment!
Following each use, the product should be checked
for abrasion and cuts. Also check it for the legibility
of the product labelling! The use of damaged com-
ponents or components subjected to a fall must be
discontinued at once. If there is only the slightest
doubt, the product needs to be retired or subjected
to testing and by a competent person.
When using the equipment in occupational health and
safety to EN 365, it must be checked at least every 12
months by a duly qualified person strictly observing
the instructions, or else by the manufacturer, and
