Climatic factors
All ART equipment may only be deployed at ambient temperatures of -30° C to +40°C. This
applies for reasons of personal protection alone.
Care must be taken in particular during frost that all movable metal parts (e.g. clamping
mechanism) remain free from ice and snow.
Under some circumstances repeated functional tests may be necessary.
Every climbing action must be analysed critically in the case of special weather conditions
such as heavy rainfall, strong wind or approaching storms, and should be abandoned if
necessary.
Warning
This device fundamentally serves personal protection only.
The attachment point (tree, part of a building, girder, scaffolding etc.) for the rope system
must demonstrate a minimum load capacity of 10 kN. Following professional ascension and
application of a correct short safety line the attachment device must be placed such that it is
permanently positioned above the climber. Climbing must also take place with a taut rope in
order to minimise the risk of free falls.
Contamination/storage
If soiled, all parts of this equipment can be cleaned at temperatures of up to 40° C using
water and a neutral soap. After washing all textile components (insofar as these exist) must
be carefully rinsed with clear water. This device should be hung up to dry in a shaded and
well ventilated place. The equipment may not be dried on heated surfaces such as radiators
or near a fire. Contamination of the metal parts from tree resin can best be removed by
rubbing with butter.
This device must not be exposed to any damaging influences like sources of heat above
55°C, fire, flying sparks, caustic substances, acids (car batteries and their fumes), fuels,
oils etc., during use, transportation or storage. Care must be taken that there is suitable
packaging during transportation (bag).
