D LIFESPAN
The lifespan of the product is dependent on a number of factors, such as the manner and
frequency of use, UV exposure, moisture, ice, effects of weather, storage conditions, and
dirt (sand, salt, etc.). Under extreme conditions the lifespan can be reduced to a single
usageor even less, if the equipment has suffered damage (for example during transport)
before ever being used.
The potential lifespan of metal products is unlimited, since the effective lifespan depends
on the previously mentioned factors. WILD COUNTRY recommends replacing these pro-
ducts after maximum ten years.
E CLEANING, STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND SERVICING
