Anchors.
13.1 The anchorage point of the fall arrest system should be above the position of the user and conform to EN795:2012 and have a minimum strength of 12kN.
13.2 Positioning of the anchorage point is crucial for safe fall arrest and this must take into account the anticipated fall distance including rope stretch, the deployment of the shock absorption system (where used) and the length of the connector so that obstructions (such as the ground) may be safely avoided.
13.3 Mountaineering: the user is advised that the security of any rock, snow or ice (or any combination of these) anchorage point (belay) natural or unnatural cannot be guaranteed as safe and therefore good judgment by the user is a necessity in order to obtain adequate protection. -
Maintenance and Servicing: This product must not be marked, modified or repaired by the user unless authorised by DMM. Note: this product is not user maintainable with the exception of the following
14.1 Disinfection and Cleaning: Wash in ≤30⁰ C clean domestic grade water with liquid soap in the pH range 5.5 to 8.5 for 15 minutes. Rinse in clean water and dry naturally in a warm ventilated room away from direct heat. It may be necessary to repeat the process to effectively clean and/or disinfect a product. Important: After use in marine or corrosive environments products should be rinsed in ≤30⁰ C clean domestic grade water, dried and lubricated if required.
14.2 Lubrication: Lubricate the mechanism with a suitable lubricating oil. This should be carried out after cleaning. Cleaning and lubrication may cure a defective mechanism, if it does not, replace the product immediately. Lubrication is recommended after every use in a marine environment.
