once a year, or more frequently if required. The company to which the
user belongs is responsible for producing documentation and
recording all the necessary information.
11.) Regular checks
Regular checks are necessary, since the safety of the user depends
on the effectiveness and durability of the equipment. We recommend
that you keep a written record of these checks. SKYLOTEC provides
„HOMEBASE" for this purpose. The operator must ensure that the
climbing protection system and the runners are checked by a qualified
person according to the precise manufacturer's instructions to ensure
that they are in perfect working condition. This check should take
place at least once a year or as required by legal requirements,
frequency of use, environmental conditions and operational conditions.
The legibility of product labelling should also be checked at the same
time. If the runner fails the visual and functional check described in
point 3 or the functional check described in point 4.2, it must be
withdrawn from use immediately. If there is any doubt, the runner can
be sent to SKYLOTEC for testing. Since textile parts are subject to
ageing, in the interests of user safety, the shock absorber must be
replaced after a maximum of 6 years after its first use.
