4.) Safety requirements
The instructions on protecting the user and the equipment must be
strictly complied with! The product label must be completely legible!
If this is not the case, the product is no longer suitable for use! In
order to avoid a suspension trauma in case of a fall, there must be
an rescue plan available that is designed to reduce the amount of

is accelerated by UV rays, heat, chemicals, aggressive
atmospheres, dirt.
6.) Maintenance and storage
The manufacturer's liability for defective products does not include
damage to property or personal injuries, which can occur even for
