•do not oil the device (Picture. 1.12)
•check the functioning and the braking of the device.
•make sure that no foreign body is in the casing.
•store the fall arrester, hanging up, in a ventilated place away from humidity and from ultraviolet lights
(Picture 1.13)
•Avoid any corrosive, overheated or refrigerated atmosphere.
CLEANING
For textile components,
•Clean them with water and soft soap. Never use acid solvents or bases (Picture 1.14). For metallic
cables,
•Brush them. Do not use solvents, water or detergent.
•Grease them regularly with universal grease.
LIFESPAN
The maximal life of PPE that is predominantly textile is evaluated as being 10 years after the date of manufac-
ture ; the maximal life of PPE that is predominantly metal is evaluated as being unlimited but, however, this maxi-
mal life is reduced to 10 years after the date of manufacture for non-opening products (except in some specific
cases – see the specific manual). However, the following factors may reduce the performance of the product and
its lifespan : in correct storage, improper use, fall arrest, deformation, contact with chemical products (alkali and
acid),exposure to sources of heat > 60°C .
In order to improve the working-life of your device, it is advised not to:
• let go of the cable, strap when it is completely unwound but follow it when it winds back into the
fall arrester. (Picture 1.15)
• leave the cable, strap or the webbing out when not in use.
• expose the device to violent manipulations or to shocks.
• expose the fall arrester to bad weather.
TRANSPORT
During transport, check that your PPE is stored well away from any source of heat, damp, corrosive atmosphere,
ultraviolet rays, etc. ...
