Edge Protection
WARNING: Make sure to use an edge protector
when using ropes that travel over sharp or
abrasive surfaces. Edge protectors reduce but
do not eliminate the chance of a rope being cut
or damaged by a sharp edge. Any rope can
be severely damaged and can fail when cut by
a sharp edge or when subjected to abrasion
over rough surfaces. Rope should be protected
from such hazards with appropriate abrasion
protection.
WARNING: If any of these inspections fail or if you
have any doubts about any component of your
vertical rescue system, do not use it. Inspection
and maintenance increase the likelihood but do not
guarantee having a safe vertical rescue system.
Inspection and maintenance offer no additional
warranty rights above those contained in this
manual. Keep all inspection and maintenance
documentation and records.
Before each use
IMPORTANT: Check every component of your
vertical rescue system, including: 1) harness, 2)
connectors, 3) controlled descent device, 4) rope,
5) anchorage connector, 6) anchorage, and 7)
rescue transfer unit (if your system contains this
component). Only you can ensure that every
component of your vertical rescue system is safe
and ready to use.
