CMC ESCAPE ARTIST SYSTEM Manual

ROPE / CORD / WEB
Check your rope/cord/web carefully after each use to make sure there are no cuts, chafed areas, broken fi bers,
soft or hard spots, glazed surfaces, discoloration or variations in diameter/width. Stitching should be checked
for broken threads. If any of the above are noted, or if the rope/cord/web is subject to shock loads, retire it from
service. CMC has numerous rope manuals and guides for additional information regarding rope inspection
and maintenance. Refer to CMC's website cmcpro.com for more information about rope/cord/web inspection,
maintenance, strengths, and specifi cations.
WARNING: Removal of protective shrink tubing is not advised as it protects the stitching and label from premature
wear. Removal could jeopardize user safety and product conformance to applicable standards.
