Inspection, points to verify
Your safety depends upon the integrity of your equipment.
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once
every 12 months. WARNING: your intensity of use may cause you to inspect your
PPE more frequently. Follow the procedures described at Petzl.com. Record the
results on your PPE inspection form: type, model, manufacturer contact info,
serial number or individual number, dates: manufacture, purchase, first use,
next periodic inspection; problems, comments, inspector’s name and signature.
Before each use
On the product, verify the absence of any cracks, deformation, marks, wear,
corrosion…
Check the condition of the sheave and verify that it is working properly.
Check the condition of the locking system for the moving side plate and verify
that it is working properly.
During use
It is important to regularly monitor the condition of the product and its
connections to the other equipment in the system. Make sure that all items of
equipment are correctly positioned with respect to each other.
Compatibility
Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system
in your application (compatible = good functional interaction).
Equipment used with your pulley must meet current standards in your country
(e.g. EN 1891 rope).
The attachment hole is compatible with carabiners, slings or ropes.
WARNING: prolonged use with a connector can create wear and sharp edges that
are dangerous if the attachment hole is then used with a rope or a sling.

side plate is not locked: there is a risk of accidental opening.
The pulley must be able to move freely so that it can align naturally with the
loaded rope.
