CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE – RETEXO
Check the correct function of the movable parts of the connectors and of the tangle-free swivel device [8] at
each use. In case of dirt, clean with a blast of compressed air and/or immerse in fresh water and subsequently
dry in a ventilated environment. After cleaning, the mechanism can be lubricated. Cleaning and lubrication are
listed in the following paragraph.
CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE - CARABINERS
A carabiner looses half of its resistance when the gate is open (see Tab.K): check the correct operation the lever
prior to use: The lever must return against the connector body when closed, the automatic locking device must close
fully with about external help. Mud, sand, pain, ice, dirty water and other agents can compromise the operation. Do
not use connectors with defective operation. If an operational defect appears, clean and lubricate the mechanism
with a silicon based lubricant. Clean and lubricate are recommended after each use in marine environments. If, after
oiling, the defect persists, the carabiner has to be put out of use

• creation of excessive play between the elements;
• presence of cracks;
• corrosion that seriously alters the surface state of the metal (it does not disappear after a slight rubbing with
sandpaper);
• presence of permanent deformations;
• operative problems that cannot be resolved through cleaning or lubrication.
Any product or component showing any defect or wear, or if in doubt, should be withdrawn from service
immediately. Each product in the safety system can be damaged during a fall and must be always inspected before
