- in perfect condition and works well,
- suited to the use you want to make of it: techniques without
the cross only are allowed, any other usage is forbidden:
beware of death!
3 – If you have any doubts about the product's safety and
working conditions, replace it immediately. Do not use the pro-
duct any more after a fall into space as any internal damage
or deformation not visible from outside could have considera-
bly reduced the strength. Improper use, mechanical deforma-
tion, accidentally dropping the equipment from a height, wear,
chemical contamination, exposure to heat quite out of normal
climatic conditions (metal products only: -30/+100°C – pro-
ducts with textile parts: -30/+50°C), are a few examples of
other causes possibly reducing, limiting and even terminating
the product's service life.
4 – This product can be used combined with personal protec-
tive equipment conforming to Directive 89/686/EEC and com-
patibly with the relevant information.
5 – Resistance of anchors, either natural or not, is not auto-
matically guaranteed and it is essential for the user to careful-
ly judge the situation beforehand to guarantee adequate pro-
tection.
6 – For safety's sake it is essential:
- to assess risks and make sure of the reliability and security
of the entire safety system, where this device is component
only.
Furthermore with fall-arrester systems make sure that:
- the anchoring point is positioned above the user, where pos-
sible,
- you are using a complete safety belt,
- work is done towards reducing potential falls and relevant
height to a minimum.
7 – The position of the anchor is fundamental for safely arre-
sting a fall: carefully assess the height of the fall, rope prolon-
gation and the "pendulum" effect so as to avoid all possible
obstacles (e.g. ground, scraping the material against the
rocks, etc.).
8 – Your life depends on the constant efficiency of your equip-
ment (we would earnestly recommend equipment for personal
use only) and its history (use, storage, controls, etc.). We
would also strongly advise having pre and post use controls
carried out by qualified persons. We would recommend calling
an authorized expert from the manufacturers at least once a
year for inspections who will record the results on the product
control card.
9 – The user is responsible for using this product correctly and
keeping the relevant card control with records of the controls
completed.
10 - KONG S.p.A. shall not be held liable for any damages,
injuries or death caused by: improper use, product modifica-
tions, repairs by unauthorized persons or use of non-original
spare parts.
11 – No special precautions are required for transportation, do
however avoid contact with chemical reagents or other corro-
sive substances, and adequately protect any pointed or sharp
parts. Warning: never leave your equipment in the car in the
sun!
12 – Warning: the products must be sold to the public com-
plete, in their original packaging and with the relative informa-
tion. It is compulsory for dealers selling products in countries
other than the original destination to check or even supply the
translation of this information.
