 For any warping or wear to the
connectors
 The operation of the adjusting
device
 The operation of the connec-
tors. In case of doubt, the PPE
must be removed from service
immediately.

PERIODIC INSPECTION

These instructions must be kept with
the product. Use the identification
card for recording the labelling infor-
mation. The periodic inspection shall
check the equipment's effectiveness
and strength and is essential to gua-
rantee the user's safety. The PPE must
be inspected at least once a year by
the manufacturer or by an authorized
person and the inspection must be
logged in the identification card. The
frequency of inspection must be in-
creased according to regulations, in
case of frequent use or use in harsh
environmental conditions. The legibi-
lity of the product labelling must be
checked.
LIFESPAN OF THE PPE
The maximal life of PPE that is predo-
minantly textile is evaluated as being
10 years after the date of manufac-
ture, however, the following factors
may reduce the performance of the
product and the lifespan: incorrect
storage, incorrect use, fall arrest, me-
chanical warping, contact with che-
micals (acids and alkalis), exposure to
high temperatures > 60°C.
ANCHORAGE POINT
If possible, use structural anchors (in
conformity with EN 795), meaning
elements that are firmly attached to
a structure (wall, pole...). In all cases,
check that the anchoring point:
 Has a minimum resistance of 10
kN,
 Is located above the operator (cf.
10),
 Is located within a vertical axis of
the work area (maximum angle
±30°),
 Adapts perfectly to the equip-
ment's attachment device,
 Has no sharp edges.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Good maintenance and appropriate
storage of your PPE will prolong
the life of your product, while gua-
ranteeing your safety. The following
recommendations must be strictly
respected:
 The harness should be cleaned
with water and a mild soap. Never
use acidic or basic solvents.
 Allow it to air dry in a wellventi-
lated area, away from sources of
heat. Store the harness away from
humidity and ultraviolet light.
 Avoid any corrosive, overheated or
refrigerated atmosphere.
CARABINER
Connector in conformity to standard
EN 362.
When the karabiner is used to attach
to an anchorage point, the recom-
mendations of the paragraph "AN-
CHORAGE POINT" are respected.
It is also possible to use a strap ring
(EN 795) or a line clamp (EN 362) in
order to connect to the anchorage
point.
WARNING:
The karabiner is essential to your sa-
fety. Therefore, we recommend the
following:
 Assign the connector to one speci-
fic person whenever possible,
 Before each use, check that there
is no warping or any signs of
wear and that the locking system
works properly.
 Do not attach and remove the
device several times during the
day if it features a manual lock.
IF THE KARABINER HAS BEEN USED
TO STOP A FALL, FOR SAFETY
REASONS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
RETURN IT FOR VERIFICATION.

TRANSPORT

During transport, make sure that your
PPE is stored in a cool, dry, noncorro-
sive atmosphere, away from ultravio-
let light etc. ...
