If carabiner or display are red:
A device damaged and/or stressed as a result of a fall, or if there
are any doubts regarding the safety of the device, then it must be
taken out of use immediately. Only after it has been checked and
its suitability confirmed in writing by a competent person or the
manufacturer should it continue being used.
7.) Care and maintenance:
• Well-maintained protective equipment and safety systems last
longer!
• The rope / webbing should only be rolled up under tension.
Under no circumstances should you pull the rope / webbing
all the way out and then release it, since the snap-back of the
carabiner against the device can cause the return spring to
break (see Fig. 3.2).
• For a prolonged service life of all retractable fall arresters that
are constantly exposed to the elements, regular and complete
drying is recommended and the wire rope should then be lightly
lubricated with acid-free oil or Vaseline (only for steel ropes).
• Where there is a retractable lanyard made from PES / Dyneema,
this should only be cleaned with warm water or a neutral
detergent. Never use thinner or similar agents. Any cleaning
agent residue should be removed completely with clear water.
• Please note the following! Retractable fall arresters should be
stored and transported in a dry, dust-free and oil-free environment.
• Textile components that have become wet as a result of
cleaning or use should be left to dry naturally. Never place
them near a flame or similar sources of heat to dry out.
