Section 9: Maintenance and Storage
The service life of your FallTech Sling Anchor will depend on two factors:
The environmental conditions of your working environment along with
proper care (specifically, maintenance and storage).
Keeping the Sling Anchor clean and free of contaminants will greatly
increase the service life and will ensure that the Sling Anchor will be in
proper working order in the event that you need it to arrest a fall. The
following steps should be taken periodically:
1. Using a damp rag and a mild soap and water solution, wipe
down the surface Sling Anchor to remove soil and surface
contaminants. Ensure that the labels are legible at all times.
2. Use a damp rag to clean the surfaces of any connecting
hardware.
3. If there is an excessive build up of paint, oil, dirt tar or other
contaminants that cannot be removed, remove the Sling Anchor
from service and have it replaced.
4. If any moving parts require lubrication, use a light application of
100% silicon spray. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants.
5. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and where
it will not be exposed to chemical vapors.
6. This Sling Anchor should be hung on a rack or a peg or stored
flat on a shelf.
7. Do not throw the Sling Anchor into a pile or a locker or storage
box, as this may cause damage.
Provided your Sling Anchor passes inspection, has been properly
maintained, has not been involved in arresting a fall and is in serviceable
condition, it will be suitable for use. If your Sling Anchor is in need of
repair or you are concerned about its condition, return it to the place of
purchase to arrange an inspection and/or repair through an authorized
service center. For further details, contact FallTech.
