2.2 Care, storage and transport of the PPE against falls from a height
This product can be cleaned dry or damp with a soft brush. Webbings and ropes can also be cleaned with lukewarm water (max.
40° C) and mild soapsuds by hand. Then rinse in cold water and let it dry in a well ventilated, dry and shady place (avoid UV light
exposure) (never tumble dry or dry over a direct source of heat). Please take care that the marking labels remain legible after
cleaning.
This product must be stored under dry conditions, at an ambient temperature, protected from mechanic damage, chemical
influences (e.g. of chemical substances, oil, solvents and other aggressive substances), direct sunlight (UV light exposure) and
outside a transport container.
The product should be transported in a UV resistant bag and not exposed to UV rays by direct sunlight more than
necessary.
ATTENTION: It requires careful protection from UV light exposure (sunlight) due to the reduced resistance of the
aramid material against UV light.
2.3 Repair/Accessories
Eventual repair, modification or additions to the PPE generally have to be carried out exclusively by the manufacturer.
2.4 Training/Instructions
Personal protective equipment against falls from a height must only be used by persons, who have been instructed according to the
valid national working conditions act.
We are pleased to inform you about training for INSTRUCTIONS or COMPETENT PERSONS.

the climatic environmental influences.
