Lifespan
The lifespan of any product will be affected by the conditions in which it is used and stored/ maintained. This
product is manufactured using high grade aluminium alloy & stainless steel components.
Textile components should be retired no later than 10 years after the Date of Manufacture.
Metal components will have an indefinite lifespan, depending on use.
The working life will be reduced through general wear and tear, abrasion, cuts, damage to component parts,
inappropriate ancillary equipment, high impact load, prolonged exposure to UV light including sunlight, elevated
temperature (50° C max), exposure to some chemicals or failure to store and maintain as recommended. This list
is not exhaustive.
Maintenance
Always keep the product clean and dry. Any excess moisture should be removed with a clean cloth and then
allowed to dry naturally in a warm room away from direct heat. Metal parts may be lubricated with a dry PTFE
lubricant or WD40 type spray. Care must be taken not to contaminate any surface that relies on friction to operate,
or comes into contact with textiles or rope. Excess lubricant should be wiped off to avoid attracting dirt.
Anchorage
Anchor points should always be assessed for strength and suitability for the task (EN795, minimum 12kN). Sharp
edges, abrasive or high temperature surfaces should be avoided or protected against.
Anchor points, wherever possible, should be above the user.
Cleaning
Rinse in clean cold water. If still soiled, wash in clean warm water (max. 40°C) with pure soap or a mild detergent
(within pH range of 5.5 to 8.5). A machine wash may be used, but care must be taken to protect against mechanical
damage, for example by placing the item in a bag prior to washing. Rinse thoroughly in clean cold water.
Chemicals
Avoid contact with any chemicals which could affect the performance of the product. If contact occurs, or is
suspected, then remove the product from service immediately. If used in a marine environment, thoroughly rinse in
clean cold water and dry after each use.
Storage
After cleaning, store unpacked in a cool, dry, dark place away from excessive heat sources or other possible
causes of damage. Do not store wet. Transport in a suitable protective bag. If a long shelf life is required it is
advisable to store in a moisture proof package.
Inspection
Before each use, conduct a visual inspection and function test to ensure the product is in serviceable condition
and operates correctly. A periodic examination should be carried out at by a competent person at least every 12
months. These inspections should be recorded, paying particular attention to areas of potentially high wear such
as attachment points, textiles, cams, bearings, etc. In the UK, the frequency of periodic inspection should be at
least every 6 months; it is the user's responsibility to ensure they comply with the guidance for inspection in their
own country or region.
