STORAGE
When not in use, store the equipment in a dry, clean and well ventilated area away from extreme temperatures and away from chemicals and corrosives. Never store in direct sunlight nor place heavy items on top. Avoid excessive folding and preferably store hanging vertically. If the product is wet, allow to dry fully before placing into storage. Never apply a heat source to dry webbing.
CLEANING
In case of minor soiling wipe the equipment with a cotton or sponge. Do not use any abrasive material. For intensive cleaning wash the harness/lanyard in a water temperature between 30 degrees and 60 degrees C using a bleach free neutral detergent (baby wash gels are commonly used). The washing temperature should never exceed 60 degrees C. Equipment should be air dried and never exposed to a direct heat source or sunlight for drying. Operators are required to check equipment before and after use.
