NOTE:Your life depends on your equipment. The user must know the story of his equipment (use,
storage, controls). If the equipment is not for one's personal use (e.g. mountain centres, clubs,
rescue stations etc.), we strongly suggest that the pre-use controls are carried out by an expert
and qualified person and that they are recorded in the control charts given in the following. No
responsibility for damages, wounds or death caused by wrongful use, nor for items which have
been modified or repaired by non-authorized persons will be assumed by Kong S.p.A.
Before using any new device Kong S.p.A. suggest to carry out accurate practical tests in order
to get a good knowledge of them and to verify in advance their perfect suitability for the specific
use they have been designed for. As a matter of fact, neither the instructions nor the laboratory
tests can reproduce all possible conditions of employment in case of rescue or emergency.
We pay great attention to the resistance of all the anchor devices, whether they are natural or
not, because they can not be guaranteed and therefore we need the opinion of expert users to
achieve a fair safety. Please remember that the position of the anchor devices is very important,
because it must guarantee the motionlessness of these devices when they work under stress.
Kong technicians are at any time at your disposal for further information and suggestions for the
correct use of any Kong items
