Maximum lifetime of a SKYLOTEC DEUS 3000
Series descent device
IMPORTANT: The lifetime of a
DEUS 3000 Series descent device depends on
the load and descent distance it supports, the
intensity and frequency of use, the environment
to which it is exposed, the environment in which
it is used, how the device is maintained, and
where and how the device is stored.
In extreme cases, the lifetime of the product can
be reduced to one single use through exposure to
chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges,
major fall or load, crushing, etc.
Certain environmental elements will considerably
accelerate wear: salt, sand, snow, ice, moisture,
chemicals, extreme cold, extreme heat, etc. (This
list is not exhaustive.)
