There is a risk to life if these safety
instructions are not observed!
• The personal protective equipment
(PPE) may no longer be used even in
the case of very minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed, dubious
personal protective equipment or
safety devices must be immediately
withdrawn and not used. The
equipment may only be inspected by
an expert in compliance with DGUV
principle 312-906, by BORNACK or by a
workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK. This must be documented
in the test card.
• Independent modifications or repairs
are not allowed.
• •Rope protection is part of the
personal fall prevention equipment
and should be assigned to a specific
person.
• The personal protective equipment
may only be used by qualified staff
that are familiar with the material.
They must be proficient in handling
the personal protective equipment
and must have been briefed about the
possible risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident
prevention guidelines (UVV), the users
of fall protective equipment (Category
III) must attend a theoretical training
course and a practical training course.

• Accessories from other manufacturers
may only be used if approved by
BORNACK and may not impair the
function and safety of the protective
equipment.
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable
for the task at hand and the weather
conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy. Health
impairments can jeopardise the safety
of the user when working at heights or
depths.
• If this PPE is used as an arresting
system (free fall is possible), only full
body harnesses that comply with
EN 361 may be used.
• Calculation of the possible fall path, if
all necessary PPE components are used
correctly: (if necessary braking path
HSG) + surplus connector (situation-
dependent) + braking path energy
absorber (max. 1.75 m) + height of
D-ring (1.5 m) + safety reserve 1.0 m.
• Before using, ensure adequate
clearance below the user to prevent
impact on a protruding object or the
ground.
