Post-Climb Inspections; General Maintenance - Isc Rp280 Bedienungsanleitung

Post Climb Inspections
The inspections performed after a climb should be the same as the inspections performed pre-climb.
Particular attention should be given to the post-climb inspections when any of the following occurred
during a climb:
1. A fall from height. If the reason for the fall is due to failure of any of the equipment, discard it
immediately.
2. Any intermittent fall. This will likely cause damage to the rope wrench, friction hitch, and climbing rope.
3. Very long climbs, especially those involving many descents and ascents.
Tether Inspection
Inspect tether for damage to Shrink Tube, Stitching and attachment eyes.
The Rope Wrench should also be inspected for damage and function

General Maintenance

Never leave the Rope Wrench or any other components out in the elements. Even if exposure to the
elements does not damage the equipment, it can still alter the functionality.
The Rope Wrench should be cleaned after each use with a mild detergent and allowed to dry naturally.
The moving parts of the Rope Wrench may be oiled if desired. Wipe away any excess oil before use.
Ensure the oil type will not degrade any rope used in the Rope Wrench System.
