Petzl Rope Maintenance Guide
Usage tips
- Do not walk on the ropes.
- When tying in repeatedly, tie into alternate ends of the rope on each pitch to avoid creating twists.
- Avoid descending too fast on a rope as this heats the sheath and accelerates wear (rappelling, or lowering a climber on top rope). During very rapid descents, a rappel device can become hot enough (230 °C) to melt the nylon fibres of the rope.
- Store your ropes in a proper bag that will protect them from dirt.
- Store ropes in bags, uncoiled. This avoids creating twists. Keep rope away from contact with sharp objects (ice screws, ice axes, crampons).
- Keep your ropes clean. A rope’s condition can have an impact on the wear of other gear. For example, a muddy rope can inhibit the proper function of an ascender. A wet, sandy rope can cause premature wear of ascenders, descenders, and connectors.
- Mountaineering, especially in glaciated areas, canyoning and caving are practised in extremely abrasive environments, laden with silt, water, and sand. Remember to rinse your ropes with water after use.
- Cutting rope:
– Use a hot knife to obtain a neat, clean cut.
– When cutting rope (new ropes on reels sold by the meter, or used ropes divided into multiple sections), you should mark each rope end with the appropriate information. At a minimum, write the diameter and the new length of the rope.
– Use labels or adhesive tape to record information on standards and protect the label with a heat-shrink sheath (WARNING: do not exceed 80 °C).
Required information on the label:
- The name of the manufacturer.
- The type of rope.
- The CE mark with the number of the certifying body.
- The length.
- The diameter.
- The identification number containing the year of manufacture.
- The product model number.
Particulars of semi-static ropes:
Before the first use, soak a static rope in water for 24 hours.
This creates a better bond between the sheath and the core and helps remove lubricants (particularly slippery) used during manufacture.
Let the rope dry slowly. It will shrink by approximately 5 % (5 m for every 100 m). Take this into account in calculating the required length. A well-used rope can shrink up to an additional 5 %.
Maintenance
After use in a salty environment (seaside), rinse with fresh water.
- Wash ropes in lukewarm soapy water (pH neutral, 30 °C maximum), then rinse thoroughly with fresh tap water.
- You can wash your rope in a washing machine. Choose the 30 °C delicate synthetic setting, without spin cycle.
- Use only household face and body soap. All other cleaning products, for example, solvents, stain removers, degreasers, etc., are too strong and are incompatible with nylon.
- Do not use a high-pressure water sprayer.
