EXO CE SACOCHE D305100A (040808)
You must only use a system that has been
packed and checked to be in conformance
with the described procedures.
Before and after each mission
4A. Storage bag
Visually inspect your bag.
If it has been exposed to high temperatures,
or if it shows signs of burns, tears,
discoloration of the fabric due to soaking
with water or chemical products, perform a
complete system check.
In the same way, if the Velcro for positioning
the OK TRIACT BAR is not in place, check
that the descender and connectors are
correctly positioned.
4B. Metal descender
Verify that the product is free of cracks,
deformation, marks, wear, corrosion, etc.
Verify that the cam and handle move freely
and that the springs and the locking elements
are working properly.
Verify there are no foreign objects
(sand, etc.) in the mechanism and no
lubricant in the rope path.
4C. Connectors: OK TRIACT BAR and rope
end connector
Verify that the frame, gate and locking
system are free of any cracks, deformation,
corrosion, etc. Open the gate and verify
that it closes and locks itself automatically
when released. The Keylock slot must not
be blocked by any foreign matter (dirt,
pebble, etc.).
The bar of the OK TRIACT BAR must not be
damaged or deformed.
4D. Rope
Visually inspect the entire length of the rope.
Check it in 30 cm intervals, turning the rope
to get a complete inspection.
Verify there are no cuts, tears, cut or frayed
threads, or burns.
Check if the core is damaged or cut inside the
sheath (soft spots, breaks, loose strands).
Check the safety stitching on the sewn
terminations. Be particularly careful to check
for cut threads.
If you have any doubt about the proper
functioning of a system component, retire it.
Before the descent
This product must not be exposed to
temperatures greater than +250 °C or to
flames.
Make sure that all pieces of equipment in the
system are correctly positioned with respect
to each other.
It is important to regularly monitor the
condition of the product and its connections
to the other equipment in the system.
Do not allow anything to block the device
(cam) or any of its components.
Connectors must always be used with the
gate closed and locked.
Verify that the rope is free of knots and that
there are no loops around the descender. A
rope that is poorly packed, or that has knots
in it, can cause serious consequences during
descent.

5A. Folding and packing the rope
in the bag
This operation must be done by a trained
and competent person, designated by your
organization.
Inspect the rope before packing the system.
The rope end connector must be located
against the descender. Spread out the
system in a clean, flat work area.
ATTENTION: the rope must be properly
packed so that it can be deployed without
forming a knot.
Open the bag and place it on its back. Put
the sewn termination (on the braking side)
on the right side of the bag. Make five
flat bights of the same width as the bag
(see drawing). Slide these bights into the
bag. Repeat the operation until the rope is
packed.
Leave 20 cm of rope between the rope end
connector and the descender, then close the
rope divider flap.
