3 – MAINtENANCE AND StORAGE
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Product maintenance consists of:
- cleaning: frequently wash the product with lukewarm (max.
40°C) drinking-water where necessary, you can also add
some gentle detergent. Rinse and leave to dry naturally
away from direct sources of heat, do not centrifuge.
- disinfection (if necessary): soak the product for an hour
in lukewarm water adding disinfectant, then rinse again
with drinking-water, dry and lubricate. Avoid autoclave
sterilization for textiles.
- lubrication (for metallic products only): frequently
lubricate the mobile parts with silicone based oil. Avoid
contact between oil and textile parts. This job must be
done after cleaning and completely drying.
Storage: after cleaning, drying and lubrication place the
loose equipment in a dry (40-90% relative humidity), fresh
(temperature 5-40°C) and safe (avoid U.V. radiation) place,
chemically neutral (absolutely avoid salty environs), away
from sharp edges, sources of heat, dampness, corrosive
substances or other possible detrimental conditions. Do not
store when wet!
4 – PERIODIC INSPECtIONS
We would also strongly advise having pre and post use
controls carried out by qualified persons. Unless otherwise
specified by stricter provisions of law, it is recommended to
have a competent person to perform an accurate product
inspection on an annual basis. Periodic inspections results
shall be recorded in the product control card. A control card
shall be provided for each component, subsystem and
system (please find a sample attached). Periodic inspections
shall as well check that product marks are clearly legible.
5 – PRODUCt LIFE
Read point 1C very carefully. Lifetime of metallic devices
is theoretically unlimited while lifetime of textile or plastic
devices is of 10 years from the production date under the
following conditions: maintenance and storage are made
as described at point 3; pre use, after use and periodic
controls do not show any malfunction, deformation, wear,
etc., the device has been correctly used not exceeding
¼ of the breaking load. Do not use obsolete devices,
(i.e.: expired lifetime, lacking of periodic control-card with
updated registration, non conforming to norms, not suitable
or compatible to the present techniques, etc.). Reject devices
which are obsolete, deformed, wear off, not properly working,
etc. destroying them in order to avoid any future use.
6 – OBLIGAtIONS OF LAW
Work, sport and professional activities are often governed
by specific national laws that may impose limitation and/or
obligations in the use of PPE and of SAFETY SYSTEM (of
which PPE are components). Users and instructors shall
know and apply the laws that might impose obligations
different from those indicated in this information.
7 – GUARANtEE
The Manufacturer guaranties the conformity of supplied
goods to agreed specifications. The guarantee covering
faults is limited to production defects and raw materials:
it does not include wear and tear, oxidation, damages
caused by improper use and/or during competition, no
correct maintenance, transport, storage, etc.; it decays
immediately in case of modifications or alterations of the
