4.1
Maintenance
As the Smartline was designed for single use only, there is no
need for maintenance. If there are concerns about humidity in
the bag the zipper must be opened, and the content allowed to
dry. If the content of the bag (or parts of it) is removed, a
competent person must do the repacking. If there are traces of
corrosion, the equipment must be checked by a competent
person.
4.2
Storage
The Smartline must not be exposed to chemicals or stored
together with chemicals. It shall be protected from strong heat,
UV light, high humidity, sharp edges or other influences that
can affect the security of the equipment. It is important that the
line is stored in the bag, away from UV light.
4.3
Inspection of equipment
Personal inspection before use is described in clause 3.2.
The Smartline has to undergo periodic inspection by a
competent person at least once a year. This person must be
familiar with inspecting all the components in the set, and must
know in detail how the set works, and how the knots should
look. The set must always be opened during periodic
inspection. Repairs and replacement of parts can only be done
by Aak Safety or a body approved by Aak Safety.
We recommend using the form on the last page to log all
periodic inspections, change of parts, and other matters
concerning the safe use of the equipment. Other ways of
logging can also be acceptable.
A checklist for the periodic inspection of the Smartline can be
acquired from Aak Safety (TEC-FO-001-017-ENG) at request.
4.4
Transport
During transport the Smartline must not be exposed to sharp
items, chemicals, UV-light, or other influences that may cause
damage. It must also be protected against falls, crush and
shock damages.
4.5
Lifespan
If stored and maintained according to these instructions, the
Smartline set has a maximum lifetime of 7 years.
If in doubt of the safe function of a component, the Smartline
shall be withdrawn from service. All maintenance or alterations
have to be done by the manufacturer or a body approved by
the manufacturer.
