Checking, points to verify

and to contact with chemicals products, etc...
Pull back the protective sleeve and check that the

Instructions for use
The SCORPIO is an energy absorber for self-
protection on cable in via ferrata (EN 958 standard)
and adventure parks.
Diagram 1. Preparation
Push the 3 STRING onto the webbing. Clip the
webbing and the STRING with an auto-locking
carabiner (marked type K). The STRING helps keep
the carabiner correctly positioned and protects the
lanyard from wear.
Diagram 2. Installation on the harness
Attach the SCORPIO to the harness by the
attachment loop, using a girth hitch.
Diagram 3. Movement along a cable
The 2 long legs should always be clipped to the
cable while moving. Use the short leg for resting.
Warning, danger : Unused legs of the lanyard
must remain free
(do not clip them to anything), otherwise the
energy absorber will not work.
Warning
The SCORPIO must not be reused after a fall that
causes the stitching to rip. Replacement is essential
in this case.

etc...). Check that this product is compatible with
the other components of your equipment (see the
instructions specific to this product). To prolong
the life of this product, care is necessary, when

Checking = safety
Do not hesitate to scrap a product showing
signs of wear which might affect its strength,
or restrict its operation. For your safety we
advise you to adopt a 3-level checking schedule:
- before and after each use it is necessary
to check the condition of the product,
- during use, it is important to regularly
monitor the condition of the product and of its
connections to the other elements of the system.
- Periodically, a more thorough inspection must be
carried out by a competent inspector: approximately
every three months for textile products and helmets,
approximately annually for metallic products.
For more safety and better control of your
equipment, we advise you to keep an inspection
record for each product.
It is preferable to personally issue each user of
P.P.E. with his or her own set of equipment.
Major fall and impact
Do not continue to use this product after a major fall
or a major impact (fall of the product or impact on
the product). Even though no external signs may be
visible, a deformation may restrict its operation or
internal damage may have occurred, thus reducing
its strength. Do not hesitate to contact PETZL in
case of doubt.
Lifetime = shelf life + useful life
Shelf life (in favorable conditions):
Helmets, harnesses, webbing slings and lanyards:
5 years
Metallic products: no limitation.
- The useful life depends on the intensity and
the environment of usage. Certain environmental
elements will considerably accelerate wear: salt,
sand, snow, ice, moisture, chemicals. In exceptional
circumstances, wear or damage could occur
on the first use which reduces the lifetime
of the product to that one single use.
Maximum useful life: helmets, harnesses: 5 years;
slings, lanyards: 3 years;
metallic products: no limitation.
For webbing, slings, and lanyards, because of their
direct contact with supporting structures and the
heavy demands that usage places on them, their
average operational lifetime is 6 months heavy
use, 12 months normal use, 3 years maximum
occasional use.
