General Instructions for Use
Do not use this product without having read carefully and understood these general instructions
for use.
Use Requirements
It is the user's responsibility to ensure understanding of the correct safe use of this equipment, to
use it only for the purposes for which it is designed, and to practise all proper safety procedures,
including wearing the required PPE – e.g. helmet, gloves, glasses, boots and harness.
Inspect the hitch – check that the fibres of the hitch are not broken. Check the stitching is intact.
Replace the hitch when the performance first starts to show signs of change and safety margins
are still high.
Inspect the climbing rope – check that the stopper knot is present – this knot should be at least
500mm from the non-sewn end. The knot ensures that the hitch cannot run off the end of the
climbing rope. Heat, abrasion and other physical damage is likely to affect the outer sheath of
the rope and hitch. Carry out visual and tactile inspections regularly in accordance with the rope
manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the metal hardware for deformation, cracks, and/or corrosion.
Lifespan
Please be aware that exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges, major fall or load,
etc. can significantly reduce the lifetime of a product, to as little as a single use. The potential lifetime
of ISC products is up to 10 years for plastic or textile products, and indefinite for metal products.
The actual lifetime of a product depends on a variety of factors such as, the intensity of use, the
frequency of use, the environment in which it has been used (humidity, salt, sand, moisture, etc), the
competency of the user, and how well it has been maintained and stored etc.
Cleaning
The product may be cleaned regularly (or after every use in a marine environment) with a mild
detergent. Afterwards, the product should be allowed to dry naturally. Moving parts may be oiled
regularly with a light oil. Make sure that lubricants do not come into contact with parts that rely on
friction with rope and/or with textile components.
Storage & Transportation
The product should be stored in a clean, dry environment free from corrosive or chemical
substances and away from all sources of direct heat. Care should be taken to protect the product
against damage during transportation.
Markings
All markings should be checked for legibility. If the information is not clear, the unit should be
removed from service.
