USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE! Read and understand all the user’s instructions before using the equipment.
The connecting line is tested and certified according to EN standard EN-354. Length:
0.5 m. The connecting line is made of 25 mm wide polyester strap and metal screw-
link. The connecting line may only be connected from a full-body harness D ring on
the back to the securing snap-lock of the fall arrest block.
Warning! Work at high heights requires the user to be in good health (see EN-
365), to be trained in the use of the equipment and to be aware of the risks. Planning
for the evacuation of persons that have fallen and that may remain hanging from
the harness must be done before starting work at high heights. If you are uncertain,
contact the dealer or the manufacturer for more information.
Warning! Before using the product for the first time it should be suitably adapted.
The adaptation is to be made in a safe place to ensure the correct size, that there
is adequate possibility for adjustment and that an acceptable level of comfort is
achieved for the intended work.
Warning! The connecting line may not be modified or supplemented with other
accessories than those provided by the manufacturer. Repairs or replacement of
parts may only be made by the manufacturer.
Warning! The connecting line is solely for Personal Protection, all other use is
prohibited. It is important that the user makes an ocular inspection of the equipment
before use.
Warning! When connecting system according to EN-363:2008 the user must be
fully conversant with the use and function of the other components. In the event of
uncertainty contact the dealer or the manufacturer.
Before use each time: Make an ocular inspection of material and function
and ensure that the equipment is working properly. Pay attention to the possibility of
webbing breakage, damaged seams, cuts, discolouration, damaged metal parts, and
functioning of the strap loop.
Warning! The product must be replaced immediately if faults are discovered on
the equipment that are considered detrimental to safety. In the event of uncertainty
contact the dealer or the manufacturer for an inspection.
Warning! The product must be discarded and replaced immediately if a fall has
occurred when using the equipment.
Warning! For connection of the fall protection system, the anchor point must be
approved according to EN-795 or equivalent to withstand a load of 15 kN. The anchor
point should, where possible, be directly above the user. Work is to be carried out
in such a manner that the fall distance and the risk of falling are kept to a minimum.
Avoid sideways movements that cause swinging where you could be thrown against
an object or a wall.
Warning! Lowest ultimate load on the equipment is 15 kN.
Warning! Observe the need of sufficient space beneath the workplace, in some
cases at least 6 m, below the person subjected to possible fall with the shock absorb-
er. Observe length of the shock absorber in extended mode, height of the worker,
position of the anchor point and length of the shock absorber line.
Warning! When working with the harness the greatest caution must be observed
when suspended in the system. Should the user become unconscious in a sus-
pended mode it will be extremely urgent to relieve the person of mechanical tension
(knowledge of how to take down a person in an emergency is therefore essential).
The situation, referred to as “suspension trauma”, could be fatal. Make sure that
you never work alone. Make sure that you are alert, are sufficiently in motion while
working, have consumed sufficient fluids, and are suitably dressed for the prevailing
conditions.
NOTE! The material of the protection against falling or its function can be affected if
subjected to: extremely high temperature, chemicals, electric power, grinding, cutting,
chafing against sharp edges, and effects of the weather.
NOTE! The equipment must be stored in a dry, dark and well-ventilated place. Lines
are to be hung in gentle loops. The bags provided and/or transport boxes are to be
used when transporting the equipment.
NOTE! All of Cresto’s products for protection against falling are marked with labels
The label includes the manufacturer’s name, product name, model designation,
unique serial number, date of manufacture, EN standard and number of the Certifying
institute.
NOTE!
Maximum length of life for the product is 10 years from the date of
manufacture. Incorrect handling and wear can reduce the length of useful life. The
product must be discarded if it shows: corrosion damage, several broken wires, strap
edge cuts, discoloured straps, serious wear, corroded metal parts, functional disorder
and lacks marking.
Warning!
If the product is exported the dealer must ensure translation of these
user instructions, maintenance and inspection instructions into the language of the
place where the product will be used.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE! The equipment must be stored in a dry, dark and well-ventilated place
protected against steam, sharp edges, vibration and UV light. The equipment must
be kept clean to ensure the best possible function and durability. Metal parts can be
blown clean using compressed air. Avoid lubricating oil. Wash lightly soiled equip-
ment in lukewarm water with a soft brush. A mild soap solution can be used. Heavily
soiled equipment can be cleaned in a washing bag in a washing machine using
phosphate-free detergent in 40°C program. Wet equipment is to hang and dry. The
equipment is to self-dry without being subjected to open fire or other source of heat.
INSPECTION
Warning! For the user’s safety the product must be inspected at least once every
twelve months to ensure its function and durability (read EN-365).
NOTE! Inspections are to be made more often in the event of frequent usage of the
equipment or its use in aggressive environments.
Warning! The inspection must be performed by a duly qualified person who
holds a relevant certificate and in accordance with the manufacturer’s inspection
procedures.
NOTE! The product label must be legible.
LOG
Each component of a system for protection against falling (EN363:2008) shall be
entered in a log. The log is to be filled in at least every twelve months by a “duly
qualified person”. (See equipment log on the last page).
REPAIR
Product repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
