6.0 Maintenance, Service, and Storage
6.1 Maintenance: Clean the Pass-Through Anchor with water and mild detergent. Do not allow excessive build-up of dirt, paint or other
agents that may cause damage or hardening of the web fibers on any webbing. Hardening of the fibers of the web from external
elements may result in a loss of strength or alter the properties of the web in a manner that could cause the Pass-Through Anchor to fail
or to operate and perform correctly.
6.2 Proper Care
• Keep the Pass-Through Anchor clean and free of contaminants, this will greatly increase the service life.
• Mold and mildew due to damp storage will reduce the service life.
• Use a damp rag and a mild soap and water solution to clean the hardware. Wipe the hardware dry with a clean soft cloth.
• DO NOT use heat to dry.
• DO NOT use any solvents or petroleum products to clean this anchor.
• DO NOT attempt to repair or modify this Pass-Through Anchor or any of its components. Such attempts will void the warranty
and may result in serious injury or death.
6.3 Storage: Store in a clean, dry and chemical free environment and kept out of direct sunlight.

Inspection

7.1 Pre-Use Inspection: Please review the Pre-Use Inspection guidelines in Section 5.4 for inspection requirements.
7.2 Inspection Frequency: FallTech requires all fall protection equipment to be inspected by a competent person other than the user at
least once each year or more frequently if the conditions exist. FallTech strongly recommends that a competent person conducts a hazard
assessment of the environment and determines the length of the inspection intervals due to the site conditions. The annual inspection
shall be recorded on an inspection log, including all deficiencies. This inspection should also be used as an opportunity to train any
authorized persons with respect to deficiencies that they have failed to observe on their daily inspections.
