Care, Maintenance, and Storage

There is an indefinite lifespan of the product under condition that the product undergoes regular inspection of the product per the manufacturer and as required by local regulations. Any product that does not pass inspection must be removed from service immediately regardless of its age and destroyed according to local regulations.

The following factors reduce the performance of the product and its lifespan: incorrect storage, incorrect use, wear and tear, contact with chemicals (acids and alkalis), exposure to high temperatures and UV radiation. More frequent inspections are required in these environments.

If required, the THLL tensioner, lifeline and connectors may be cleaned using a damp cloth and warm water (max 105°F / 40°C) and allowed to dry naturally before use. Excessive build-up of dirt, paint, etc. can compromise both line tension and strength of the system.

Store and transport the THLL in the supplied haul bag. Product must be stored in a cool, dry, clean environment, away from heat, steam, harmful fumes, corrosive agents, rodents, dust, oil, and direct sunlight. During transportation, the device shall be protected to prevent damage or contamination. Examine the THLL after long periods of storage prior to returning it to service.

Moving parts of locking cam, carabiners and the tensioning handle may require periodic lubrication with low viscosity penetrating oil if movement is not smooth. Follow lubricant manufacturer’s instruction. Do not over-lubricate. Wipe excess with a clean, dry cloth. To clean inside the tensioner, use compressed air or light oil spray directed into the holes at the center of the tensioner, which will gently force dirt and debris from the area.

WARNING! 

Store the product per the instructions. Improper storage may lead to damage of critical components.

Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
