REGULAR INSPECTION, REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
AND LIFESPAN
Regular inspection
Before each instance of use, the components listed
below must be inspected to see whether they have
any damage (score marks, deformations, wear) and
whether they function perfectly.
Parts to be examined
• fixed and moveable device flanks
• moveable braking cam (score marks, wear,
moveability),
• spring axis
• control lever
Handle equipment with care and clean after use!
Keep moving parts in working order by lubricating
them from time to time with appropriate amounts of
acid-free sewing machine oil or graphite-containing
bike oil .
Removal from service
The securing device should always be removed
from service
• after a fall + impact from great height
• if there are any extreme score marks and / or
deformations
• if there is any evidence of corrosion
• if the moveable mechanical components no
longer function perfectly.
Examples:
- device cannot be closed perfectly
- when the device is closed, the spring bolt does
not spring back to its starting position
- the ability of the braking cam to move is impeded
or blocked
In the event of any damage or malfunctions, the
device is to be taken out of use and sent back to the
manufacturer for inspection.
Lifespan
Depending on the frequency and intensity of use, the
following can be taken as rough guide figures:
• in the case of extremely intense, daily use and
very high working output, with dirty ropes:
approx. 1-2 years
• in the case of normal use several times a week
with clean ropes: approx. 10 years
Storage
• Store in a dry place.
• Avoid contact with aggressive substances (e.g.
acids or other chemicals).
