Cleaning and Storage
If required, the PFL exterior and lifelines may be cleaned using a damp cloth and warm water (max 40°C), and allowed to
dry naturally before use. Excessive build-up of dirt, paint etc. can compromise both retraction and strength of the lifeline.
Store or transport the PFL in a cool, dry, clean environment, away from heat, steam, harmful fumes, corrosive agents,
rodents, dust, oil, and direct sunlight. During transportation, the device shall be protected to prevent damage or
contamination. Examine the PFL after long periods of storage prior to returning it to service.
Moving parts of snaphooks and carabiners may require periodic lubrication. Some mineral oils can have adverse effects on
Polycarbonate, so it is recommended that silicon or PTFE-based lubricants are used, or care is taken to avoid contact
between the lubricating oil and the PFL case.
Follow lubricant manufacturer's instruction. Do not over-lubricate. Wipe excess with a clean, dry cloth.
