1.4 Storage / care
If the anchor point is not used, it should be transported and stored in clean, dry and airy conditions together with the twist lock carabiner.
Both the anchor point and the twist lock carabiner are made of metal and must therefore be protected against external influences such as wel-
ding flames and sparks, fire, acids, alkalis and extreme temperatures (min. -20°C to max. 60°C) and water damage. They can be cleaned using
a little warm water and a neutral cleaning agent. Wash away the remaining cleaning agent with clear water. Only dry them naturally: never use
fire or other sources of heat. Disinfection measures may only be taken with the approval of the manufacturer.
Always comply fully with the storage and cleaning instructions!
1.5 Testing
The equipment must be inspected at least once every 12 months by a specialist or by the manufacturer! The inspection must be documented
in the test log supplied with the equipment.
During the test, note the following points in particular:
• Product identifier (legibility)
• Check anchor point and twist lock carabiner for wear and tear, deformation, tears and breakage.
• Check the functionality of the twist lock carabiner. Material fatigue and damage to the belt of the body harness and the double fall arrester
The safety of the user depends on the effectiveness and durability of the equipment.

1.6 Service life

Textile elements of the equipment such as belts (tethers, body harnesses, etc.) as well as ropes and straps (connectors, fall arresters with
flexible anchor lines, slings, stopper lines, etc.) may be used under normal conditions for up to 8 years.
The BITO-easyHOOK anchor point with twist lock carabiner may initially be used under normal conditions for up to 10 years from the year of
manufacture, provided it experiences no damage, wear or material alteration.
The equipment must be presented to the manufacturer for inspection after 10 years at the latest. The manufacturer may then decide to extend
the equipment's service life.
