BLOCKSTOP BS IKA 1.8 IN USE
VERTICAL USE
CAUTION RISK TO LIFE:
If this PPE is used as an arresting system (free
fall is possible), a full body harness that con-
forms to EN 361 must always be used.
A
Anchor points must be adequately strong,
e.g. in compliance with EN 795.
CAUTION:
If the retractable type fall arrester is used on an
anchor point of Class C acc. to DIN EN 795 with
a horizontal moving guide, the deflection of the
anchor equipment also needs to be taken into
account when determining the necessary clear
height below the user. Please refer to the infor-
mation in the user manual of the anchor device.
B
The device must be positioned as vertically as
possible above the head of the secured
person to rule out swinging in case of a fall.
The attachment of the device must guaran-
tee that the straps can still be adjusted if
necessary.
C
The clear height below the user must be 2m
if attached above the user.
D
D After attaching the device to the anchor
point, the end of the retractable lanyard
(safety karabiner) of the BLOCKSTOP BS IKA
1.8 must be hooked into the rear D-ring of the
full body harness or at the end of the rear
D-ring extension.
CAUTION:
If sand and dirt penetrate the device, this can
impair its function and cause damage.
CAUTION:
Steps should be taken to ensure that no trans-
verse loads are exerted onto the swivel anchor
D-ring, e.g. via an edge.
