Use

L
IMPORTANT: DEUS Rescue equipment
must only be used by persons trained in its
proper use.
During training and practice with descent devices,
a back-up belay should always be used. 3M
recommends the 3M and DEUS 7300 Back-Up Belay.
Verify that the DEUS Rescue equipment you are using
is compatible with the other components of your
rescue/safety system.
To prolong the life of 3M and DEUS Rescue
equipment, care is necessary when transporting
as well as when using it. If 3M and DEUS Rescue
equipment is subjected to extreme conditions
during storage, transportation or use, inspect it
thoroughly. If you have any doubts about the
condition of the 3M and DEUS Rescue equipment
or the other components of the system with which
it is used, do not use the equipment. Contact 3M
to return the equipment for factory inspection and
reconditioning.

Warranty

All DEUS equipment, including 3000 Series descent
devices, carries certain warranties. Warranty terms
for each product may vary, and warranties and
limitations are subject to state laws. Contact 3M for
information on the warranty terms for a particular
product.
To make a warranty claim, contact 3M (see page 5)
or visit www.3M.com/FallProtection for claim

Replacement if used in an emergeny rescue
Use of any rescue equipment in an emergency
scenario can result in undetectable damage to
ropes, anchorage connectors, and internal hardware
components. If your DEUS 3000 Series descent
device is used in an emergency rescue situation, the
descent device must be removed from service and
inspected by a DEUS-Certified Maintenance Center.
Your DEUS 3000 Series descent device will be replaced
at no cost with documented proof of emergency use
and documentation of regular inspections. For more
information please contact 3M.

Modifications or alterations

Any modification, addition to or repair of the
equipment other than authorized by DEUS Rescue is
prohibited due to the risk of impairing the function
of the equipment. This restriction extends to both
DEUS controlled descent devices and to the ropes
that are used with them.

Product obsolescence

There are many reasons why a product may
be judged obsolete and thus retired before
the end of its actual lifetime. Examples include
but are not limited to: changes in applicable
standards, regulations, legislation, development
of new techniques, and incompatibility with other
equipment.
