Tips for protecting

your equipment

Ascenders

You too can help prolong the lifetime of your products. To succeed in this challenge, several aspects

must be taken into account:product usage (intensity, frequency, conditions etc.), and also the

transport, storage, care and maintenance.

Taking care with all of these aspects helps avoid premature wear of the equipment.

Here is a summary of precautions recommended by Petzl for maintaining your equipment.

Basic principles

• In general, take care of your safety gear. Do not leave it lying about anywhere. Do not throw your gear on the ground.

• Read the specific recommendations for each product in the Instructions For Use available on the Petzl Web site.

• See the heading "PPE* Inspection".

* PPE is Personal Protective Equipment, equipment worn or carried by the

user. PPE are classified in three categories:

Category1:minor hazards, light mechanical impacts, solar radiation (e.g.

glasses, gloves)

Category2:serious hazards (e.g. ventilated helmets, crampons)

Category 3:major or deadly hazards (e.g. harnesses, carabiners, ice axes)

Reminder of the lifetime of Petzl equipment.

• The maximum lifetime is up to 10years from the date of manufacture for plastic and textile products.

• The lifetime is indefinite for metal products.

• Warning:An unusual event may require you to retire a product after only one use. This may involve the type and

intensity of use, or the environment in which it is used:aggressive environments, sharp edges, extreme temperatures,

chemicals...

• To learn more, see the heading "PPE Inspection".

How can I find out the age of my Petzl PPE?

All of our PPE products are now identified by a serial number. This number may be marked in a number of ways:laser,

engraving, label,etc. It allows us to identify our products.

To find out the year of manufacture, refer to this detailed serial number in the following manner:

Transport

• It is preferable to store your equipment in a pack to protect it.

• With a backpack, take care that crampon points or sharp objects don't damage your helmet, ropes, or slings.

• When traveling by truck, train, plane, or boat, the temperatures can be extreme and can degrade the products. For

example, never leave your textile equipment or helmets under a window or in the trunk of a car that is exposed to direct

sunlight. The temperature can be higher than 80°C.

• In the trunk of a car, for example, pay attention to your equipment's possible proximity to gas cans, car batteries, or

cleaners (risk of leaking). Warning:any contact with chemical products, harsh or corrosive substances (e.g. acids) is

prohibited. If you have a doubt, retire your equipment.

Storage

• Store your equipment in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight (UV).

• Reserve a specific place for your equipment. Warning:any contact with harsh or corrosive substances (e.g. acids) is

prohibited. If you have a doubt, retire your equipment.

• Never store your gear in a damp place where mold can develop (damp closets, bags and waterproof containers with

moisture inside). For long-distance travel, beware of moisture in containers during transit, in ports or airports, especially

in salty environments.

Repair

Modifications and repair of Petzl products outside of Petzl facilities is prohibited, except for replacing worn parts with

replacement parts referenced in Petzl catalogs.

See the list of replacement parts at petzl.com

In case of doubt, contact After-sales service (aftersales@petzl.fr)

Washing

Recommendations for washing are indicated for each product family.

Drying

• Remove your gear from packs after each activity, even if cleaning isn't necessary.

• Let all your gear air-dry away from UV sources (ultraviolet rays).

• Avoid proximity to heat sources such as direct sunlight, wood fires, or a radiator.

Maintenance

In general, when used in amateur sports, Petzl products do not require any special maintenance, outside of cleaning,

except for metal products (see paragraphs: belay devices, descenders, carabiners, pulleys, ascenders, ice axes,

crampons, ice screws).

Metal equipment

Identification

Petzl metal products are marked with a laser engraving, a label, or a stamp indicating the model name, standards

references and the serial number for traceability.

Usage tips

If you want to personalize your metal gear:

• Engraving a carabiner or other metal equipment is not recommended as this is a modification of the product that can

weaken it. Do not use a stamp or punch. The use of stamps or punches is strictly prohibited, as this type of marking may

affect product performance, depending on the depth, the force of impact, and the chosen area.

• However, you can use an electric engraving pen (depth less than 0.1mm) on the frame, next to the serial number.

• You can also mark your metal equipment with a small amount of paint (paint pen or "metal writing" paint). Warning: do

not dip your equipment in paint. Apply a small, thin marking of paint, not too thick.

• Do not mark any working areas. The marks must be made on a part of the body where there is no rubbing against

another device, or rope. The marks must not hide the original marking (serial number, standards, etc.).

• This type of marking is prohibited on plastic pieces, as the chemical agents in paints can weaken the structure of

plastics.

• As we cannot test every available paint, we advise you to choose a metal-compatible paint.

You can use adhesive tape on the areas where the rope does not run.

Maintenance

• After use in a salty environment (seaside), rinse with fresh water.

• Use a small brush to remove oily dirt or mud.

• Wash your gear in lukewarm soapy water (ph neutral, 30°C maximum), then rinse thoroughly with fresh tap water.

• Do not use acid or harsh cleaners. Do not use WD 40 type degreasers as these products remove lubricants and their

abrasive effect can accelerate wear.

• Certain metal gear also has plastic parts. Use only household face and body soap. All other cleaning products, for

example solvents, stain removers, degreasers, etc. are too strong and not compatible with plastic materials.

• Do not use a high pressure water sprayer. High pressure water spray can remove

lubricants and damage joints.

• If lubricating is necessary. Lubricate only with fluid oils (machine oil) or graphite powder.

After lubricating, clean oil residue with a cloth to avoid getting oil on slings or ropes.

Maintenance

Use a small brush to remove mud. For proper function and good grip on the rope, the teeth must be clean.
