9. SERVICE LIFE
The theoretically possible period of use is up 2 years
from the time when the product is first removed
from the undamaged package (only when used
infrequently (1 week per year) and stored properly
(see Chapter "Transport, Storage and Cleaning")).
The product must be retired no later than after 2
years of use. It is assumed that the product will be
removed from its package upon purchase. We rec-
ommend keeping the sales receipt. The theoretically
possible total lifetime (proper storage prior to first
removal + use) is limited to 5 years from the date
of manufacture.Aramids and Dyneema® are not
UV resistant (incl. sunlight). Therefore, keep the
rope protected against UV and be sure to replace
it immediately if discoloration, hardening, or yarn
damage (abrasion of fiber parts, fibrillation, bleach-
ing, mechanical wear, etc.) occur. The actual useful
life depends solely on the condition of the product,
which in turn is influenced by various factors (see
below). Extreme influences may shorten service life
to a single use only or to even less if the equipment
is damaged prior to its first use (e.g. in transport).
Mechanical wear and other influences such as the
impact of sunlight will decrease the life span consid-
erably. Bleached or abraded fibres, discoloration, and
hardened spots are certain indicators that the product
needs to be retired. It is clearly not possible to offer
a general statement about the product's service life,

as such life span depends on various factors, e.g. UV
light, type and frequency of use, handling, climatic
influences such as ice or snow, environments such as
salt, sand, battery acid etc., heat contamination (above
normal climatic conditions), mechanical deformation
and/or distortion,... (incomplete list!),
After use, the DO Loop 7mm (T) must be removed
from the tree. It is not designed for permanent
mounting on a tree. The lifetime of an installed
anchor depends not only on the material of the
sling but also on the condition of the tree and on
how the sling is attached.
In general, the following rule applies: If the user,
for whatever reason – however insignificant it may
seem – is uncertain whether or not the product
meets all the necessary criteria, either reject it from
service and render unusable, or place in quarantine
and label in an obvious manner so that it cannot be
used by mistake. Only return to service following
the written authorisation of a competent person.
Withdraw equipment from service if it has been
used to arrest a fall.
