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, by feeling the entire length of the rope devices
with your ngers, that the inner core has no cuts, hollow
points, cracks, bulges (any problems with the inner core are
invisible and can be caused by over-stressing, local creases,
dirt).
- 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. For the safety of the operator,
it is necessary that the device or anchor point is always
correctly positioned and that the operation is carried out in
such a way as to minimise the risk and height of a fall.
As far as the textile material is concerned, the MAXIMUM
useful life is considered to be equal to 10 years from its
rst use, so it must be replaced after this period of time.
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 product checks is not satisfactory and
one has doubts about its reliability.

Maintenance
INSPECTION BEFORE USE
To ensure optimal use of the device, it is important to
keep all the components in good conditions and to remove
all traces of dirt, debris and body uids. The XT must be
inspected before and after each use, and must be cleaned
after use. When not in use, it must be stored in a dry, indoor
environment and inspected at least once a month. If the
inspection reveals cracks on the board, deep scratches or
wear signs on textile components, place the device out of
service and contact Ferno's technical support.
PREVENTIVE INSPECTION
The XT is a medical device requiring regular maintenance.
Preventive inspections are the responsibility of the user. It
is recommended to use the checklist in this manual and to
report the check in the appropriate registration table.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the XT undergo a complete product
overhaul and certication by Ferno personnel once a year
from the expiry of the warranty.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Whenever, during the inspection, user nds cracks on the
board, deep scratches or obvious signs of wear on the textile
material, it is recommended to contact Ferno's Technical
Support Department to have the XT completely overhauled
and certied by Ferno's authorised personnel. See chapter
Technical Support.
If the XT undergoes particularly heavy use, if it is used
in an environment contaminated by hazardous chemical
substances or for carrying heavy loads, maintenance should
preferably be carried out on a more frequent basis.
Important
Ferno directly carries out repair maintenance
operations, without the need of dealers, mechanics
or external service centres (if not recommended by

those who present themselves as Ferno's authorised
technician without providing further information.
