Warning
Working at height and all forms of activity conducted at
height are dangerous and can lead to serious injury or
death.
Improper use of equipment can result in serious injury or
death. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain proper
training in rope techniques and safety prior to any activity
at height and use of such equipment.
This manual is not a do-it-yourself manual, and the
information presented can-not replace proper training and
experience. It is a person's obligation to get adequate
training in appropriate techniques and safety practises.
We have done everything possible to ensure that the
information provided in this manual is accurate at the time
of publication. However, we do not guarantee that this
information will remain up to date, as many products and
techniques change over time.
If you have doubts or difficulty understanding
anything in this manual, please contact us.
Webbing Footloops and ladders
Have been designed for stepping and climbing up. However it is
not a (PPE) per-sonal protective equipment. Use only as
instructed, with a secondary back-up sys-tem and with compati-
ble items of equipment. Check that the safe function of any one
component within a system will not interfere with safe function
of these Foot-loops or Ladders. Miss use can cause problems,
weakness, serious injury or death. Neatness is strength. The
Footloop needs to be clipped onto a hand ascender with a rated
carabineer or quick link. The Ladder needs to be secured with a
rated carabineer onto a solid anchor point or when using the
ladder on a rope secure it with a rope grab. Always keep an eye
out for potential falls as these products are not designed to
withstand high impact forces.
Do not fall in these products!
Safety
Do not alter the product in any way. Any product subjected to a
minor fall should be examined and discarded if there is any sign
of defect or any doubts about safety.
Inspection
Before each use visually inspect to ensure the product is in
serviceable condition and operates correctly. An examination
should be carried out at least every 12 month by a competent
person. These inspections should be recorded paying particular
attention to areas of potentially high wear and sewn joints. See
our info page on PPE Inspection.
When carrying out an inspection pay attention to the next
items (if applicable):
Check the label / marking (visible, age)
Check rope (cuts, burns, wear, chemical marks, dents,
hernias, other damage)
Check stitching (cut, worn, coloured or disordered threads)
Check attachment points (deformation, cracks, wear,
corrosion, marks)
Check O-ring and connectors (deformation, cracks, wear,
corrosion, marks)
Check compatibility of connector
Check condition of protective components
It is essential for safety that equipment is withdrawn from use
immediately should:
Any doubt arise about its condition for safe use or;
Any product subjected to a major fall .

Maintenance & Cleaning - Always keep the product clean and
dry. Any excess moisture should be removed with a clean, dry
cloth and then allowed to dry naturally in a warm room away
from direct heat.
Rinse in clean cold water. If still soiled wash in clean warm
water (max. 40°C) with a soft detergent (within pH range of 5.5
to 8.5). Rinse properly in clean cold water and if needed to
disinfect use a solution of water with alcohol. Do not use
bleach!
Lubrication - When lubrication is needed a silicon based spray
can be used. Do not excessively spray the lubricant over the
buckle or gate. Wipe off any excess and protect any webbing or
rope from being sprayed.
Transportation - For transportation use a container or bag
that allows the product to breath and the gear to be protected.
Storage - After cleaning, store unpacked in a cool, dry, and
dark place away from direct sunlight, as UV will cause damage
to the webbing over time, excessive heat sources, sharp edges,
vibration or other possible causes of damage. Do not store
when wet or in a damp area >70%. If a long shelf life is required
it is advisable to store in a moisture proof package, like a
polyethylene bag.
Use in extreme environment - Use of any PPE in extreme
environments can be dangerous. It is important to do appropri-
ate testing before the use of our products in environments
such as extreme cold or high temperatures (working tempera-
tures are -30 degrees up to 60 degree Celsius) chemicals, dust,
sand and other foreign materials should be avoided where
possible, if you have any questions contact us and we can help
you determine the effects. Electrical conductivity is another
serious subject that should not be taken lightly. Your harness
has metal components and should not be used close to high
power lines or switch gear.
When using our Fossil lanyards in a wet condition be aware
that it is known that all rope products that are wet have a less
of an impact capacity then when dry. So please be even more
careful using it while being wet.
Lifespan - This is difficult to estimate but we advise as follows:
Do not use more than 15 years after the date of manufacture
or 10 years after its first use, whichever comes first. Assuming
you have used the correct storage, the working life can vary
from a five year span to a single use in extreme circumstances
(e.g. highly chemical environment, serious fall). UV light
including sunlight will reduce the working life significantly.
Warranty - Equipment offered by EYOLF Inc. are warranted
against factory defects in workmanship and materials for a period
of 3 years from date of installation or use by the owner, provided
that this period shall not exceed 3 years from the date of
shipment.
Upon notice in writing, EYOLF Inc. will promptly repair or replace
all defective items. EYOLF Inc reserves the right to elect to have
any defective item returned to its plant for inspection before
making a repair or replacement. This warranty does not cover
equipment damages resulting from abuse, damage in transit, or
other damage beyond the control of EYOLF Inc. This warranty
applies only to the original purchaser and is only one of applicable
to our products, and is lieu of all other warranties, expressed or
implied.
