Avoid all contact with sharp or abrasive edges whenever possible.
Ensure that the Protector is the correct length and covers the section of the rope requiring protection. If necessary use multiple Protectors.
The different components of the security system (harness, karabiners, pulleys…) must conform to the appropriate standards and be used with a full understanding of their usage and limitations in personal fall protection system.

During use check that the Protector is correctly fitted, still in position and working effectively.
The Protector is made of PVC
The temperature in use or in storage must not exceed 80°C. The melting temperature of PVC is 180 °C. Note: the magnets used to close and secure the Magnetic Protector will continue to function at temperatures up to the point where the Protector material is destroyed.
Before and during use, the possibility of rescue in case of difficulty must be considered and adequate preparations made..

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Eliminate avoidable exposure to UV. Store and transport it in the shade, away from humidity and heat sources. For transporting, bear the same considerations in mind.
The Protector must not be allowed to contact chemical agents, particularly acids which may destroy the fibers without visible evidence.
If it gets dirty, wash in cold, clean water, if necessary using a cleaning
agent suitable for delicate fabrics, with a soft synthetic fibre brush. Disinfect only using materials that have no effect on the synthetic materials used.
If the Protector has been soaked, either in use or by washing, leave to dry in a shaded place, away from any heat source.
Before and after each use, check the state of the Protector.
Inspection should be carried out by a competent person on a regular basis to ensure user safety and product strength.

LIFETIME:
Lifetime = Time of storage before first use + time in use.
Storage time : In ideal conditions this product may be kept for 5 years before first use without affecting its future lifetime duration in use.
Lifetime:
The potential lifetime of this product in use is 10 years.
Attention: This is only a potential lifetime. A Protector could be destroyed during its first use. It is the inspections which determine if the product must be scrapped more quickly. Proper storage between uses is essential. The lifetime of the sling in use must never exceed 10 years. The total maximum lifetime (storage before use + lifetime in use) is thus limited to 15 years.

- it has been in contact with dangerous chemical products,
- if there is the slightest doubt about its security.
