appropriate and safe to use.
Checking is safety
IMPORTANT: Do not hesitate to retire a
SKYLOTEC product showing signs of wear which
might affect its strength or restrict its proper
operation. For your safety, a 3-level checking
schedule is prudent:
Before and after each use, it is necessary to
check the condition of the product and every
component of the system with which it is used. It
is highly recommended that a buddy check your
gear before using it in a descent.
During use check that carabiners are locked
closed, all connections are secure, rope has edge
protection, and the temperature of the descent
device is not hot enough to damage rope.
A more thorough inspection must be carried out
by a qualified technician at least every twelve (12)
months.
Log usage
IMPORTANT: Create a log like the one shown
on the next page to log usage. Log usage of each
DEUS controlled descent device using the table.
Factory service is required when the device has
accumulated 1.5 million joules(per EN 341) or
406,750 joules (per ANSI Z359.4) of energy, or
every three years, whichever occurs first. The
sample log on the next page shows the calculation
for descent energy so you can track this.
Storage and Transport
IMPORTANT: Store in a cool, dry, dark place.
Avoid contact with chemicals. Store without
mechanical stress caused by jamming, pressure,
or tension.
The product must be kept away from direct
sunlight, chemicals, dirt, and mechanical damage.
For this reason, a protective bag or special
storage should be used.
