LIFESPAN
Please be aware that exposure to chemicals, extre­
me temperatures, sharp edges, major fall or load,
etc. can significantly reduce the lifetime of a product,
to as little as a single use. The potential lifetime of
ISC products is up to 10 years for plastic or textile
products, and indefinite for metal products. The
actual lifetime of a product depends on a variety of
factors such as, the intensity of use, the frequency
of use, the environment in which it has been used
(humidity, salt, sand, moisture, etc), the competency
of the user, and how well it has been maintained and
stored etc.
CLEANING
The product may be cleaned regularly (or after every
use in a marine environment) with a mild detergent.
Afterwards the product should be allowed to dry
naturally. Moving parts may be oiled regularly with a
light oil. Make sure that lubricants do not come into
contact with parts that rely on friction with rope
and/or with textile components.
STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION
The product should be stored in a clean, dry environ­
ment free from corrosive or chemical substances
and away from all sources of direct heat. Care should
be taken to protect the product against damage
during transportation.
