9. SERVICE LIFE
Friction Hitch cord (Ocean Polyester or Ocean
Dyneema®) is a consumable wear part. Expect to
see signs of wear. Expect to replace friction hitch
cord regularly. Regular monitoring is essential e.g.
pre-use checks, weekly inspections, thorough ex-
aminations (consult national legislation for interval)
and after exceptional circumstances. The service
life of the friction hitch cord is up to 3 years for the
OP Loop 8mm (fImblSAVER) and up to 2 years for
the OD Loop 7mm (fImblCLIMB), both from the day
the product was first taken out of its undamaged
light-protected package, and the product must
be retired no later than after 3 years of use (OP
Loop/fImblSAVER), or 2 years of use (OD Loop/
fImblCLIMB). We recommend that you keep the
original sales receipt which is the proof of purchase.
The theoretically possible total product life (correct
storage prior to first removal + period of use) is
limited to 5 years from the date of manufacture.

fore, keep the rope protected against UV and re-
place it immediately if discoloration, hardening, or
