Your safety depends upon the integrity of your equipment.
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once every 12 months (depending on current regulations in your country, and your conditions of usage).

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
Verify the absence of any cracks, deformation, marks, wear, corrosion (on the side plates, axle, and locking pins). Check the condition of the sheave 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. Verify that the carabiners are always loaded on their major axis.

Compatibility

Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application (compatible = good functional interaction).
