ARNING
Activities involving the use of this equipment are inherently dangerous. You are responsible for your own actions and decisions. Before using this equipment, you must: - Read and understand all instructions for use. - Get specific training in its proper use. - Become acquainted with its capabilities and limitations. - Understand and accept the risks involved. Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in severe injur
y or death.
Responsibility W
ARNING, specific training is essential before use.
This product must only be used by competent and responsible persons, or those placed under the direct and visual control of a competent and responsible person. Gaining an adequate apprenticeship in appropriate techniques and methods of protection is your own responsibility
.
You personally assume all risks and responsibilities for all damage, injur
y or death which may occur during or following
incorrect use of our products in any manner whatsoever
. If you
are not able, or not in a position to assume this responsibility or to take this risk, do not use this equipment.
Before each use Check the webbing at the attachment points, at the adjustment buckles and at the safety stitching. Look for cuts in the webbing, wear and damage due to use, to heat, and to contact with chemical products,
etc. Be particularly careful to check for cut
threads. Verify that the DoubleBack and F
AST buckles operate properly
.
During each use It is important to regularly inspect the condition of the product. Check its connections with the other equipment in the system and make sure that the various pieces of equipment in the system are correctly positioned with respect to each other
.
Consult the details of the inspection procedure to be carried out for each item of PPE on the W
eb at www
.petzl.com/ppe or on the PETZL PPE
CD-ROM. Contact a
PETZL distributor if there is any doubt about the condition of this product.
Inspection, points to verify
3
Verify the compatibility of this product with the other components of your equipment (compatibility
= good interaction when used together).
Compatibility between attachment point and connectors An incompatible connection can cause accidental disconnection, breakage, or affect th
e safety
function of another piece of equipment. W
ARNING, the attachment points of your harness can act as a lever on the gate of a c
onnector
.
When a sudden tension comes onto the rope and/or an external pressure on the lockin
g system,
and the connector is poorly positioned, the locking sleeve can break and the gate can
open itself.
To reduce this risk: 1. V
erify that the gate is securely closed and locked by pressing it with your hand.
2. Check that your connectors are properly positioned each time the system is loaded
(lanyard,
descender
, etc.).
3. Make sure your connectors are compatible with the attachment points (shape, size,
etc.).
Remove any connectors that tend to remain in an incorrect position. Any equipment attached to your harness (anchors, locking connectors, absorbers
etc
) must
conform to EN standards. Contact a Petzl distributor if you are uncertain about the compatibility of your equipm
ent.
