- Use in combination with devices and/or
accessories other than those indicated
in paragraph 3.4 may be dangerous.
Always make sure that the devices are
compatible by consulting the information
provided by the manufacturer.
- Improper use, deformation, falls, wear,
chemical contamination, exposure to
temperatures below -30°C or higher than
+50°C for the textile/plastic components/
devices, and +100°C for metal devices,
are some examples of causes that may
reduce, limit or end the life of the device.
- Before any recovery operation, make
sure that the weight does not exceed the
capacity defined in paragraph 3.3.
- Avoid exposing the device to heat sources
or to contact with chemical substances.
Reduce direct exposure to sunlight to the
minimum necessary. At low temperatures
and in the presence of humidity, ice may
form. This, on textile devices, may reduce
flexibility and increase the risk of cuts
and abrasions.

repair the device.
All our devices are tested/inspected piece
by piece in accordance with the procedures
of the Quality System certified according to
the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard. Laboratory
tests, inspections, information and norms
do not always manage to reproduce what
actually happens in practice, and so
performance under real usage conditions in
a natural environment can differ, sometimes
even considerably. The best information
can be gained by continual practice under
the supervision of skilled, expert, qualified
individuals.
