TEXTILE MATERIAL RESTRAINTS
Check along the entire length of the device that:
- All textile parts and stitching on the device are free from
cuts, abrasion, frayed borders, wear, corrosion, burns and
signs of chemical substances; also check that the stitching is
not cut, frayed or loose.
- Check the devices made of textile material by feeling them
with your ngers along their entire length.
- Ensure the integrity of the stitching protective cover (no
movements or detachments from its terminal).
- Before use, also check that the maintenance sheets of each
device are correctly updated.
During each use:
- Regularly check the proper functioning of the product and
the optimal connection and arrangement of the other system
components.
- Pay attention to the effects of moisture and frost, as these
could compromise the tightness of the device.
- Beware of contact with sharp edges and, if necessary,
recheck the device after use.
If the textile material is found to be intact during the
preventive inspections, it is considered to have a life of 10
years from rst use without any ofcial Ferno overhaul,
after which it is recommended that XT undergo a
complete overhaul and product certication by Ferno
personnel once a year.
The product must be disposed of:
- After 10 years, if it includes plastic or textile components.
- After a strong effort.
- If the result of the checks is not satisfactory and one has
doubts about its reliability.
