Information Regarding Possible Cracks on ASAP Lock

FACT: March, 30 2016 - During routine equipment inspections one customer detected cracks on the stainless steel arms on 3 ASAP LOCK units. These 3 defective products will be returned to Petzl for analysis.

• As described in the instruction for use, Petzl ASAP LOCK must be used with the ASAP’SORBER or the ABSORBICA L57. These two shock absorbers limit the dynamic forces to 5KN.  
• In the worst case scenario, a cracked ASAP LOCK arm presents no additional risk to the user. 
• However, the presence of such cracks in the arm requires immediate retirement of the ASAP LOCK.
