THE CHANGE OF AN ADJUSTMENT WOULD MAKE THE EQUIPMENT DANGEROUS

CHECKING BEFORE USE

Before each use, carry out a thorough visual examination to ensure that thePPE, as well as any other equipment

with which it could be associated (connector, lanyard…) is complete. Make all necessary arrangements for the

implementation of any rescue in total safety. In the event of your product being damaged, consult the manufac-

turer or his agent. If you have any doubts regarding the safe condition of the product, or if the product has been

used to arrest a fall,it is essential to your personal safety that the PPE be withdrawn from service and sent back

to the manufacturer or a qualified repair centre for checking, or destruction. Following examination, the centre

will either deliver or refuse written authorisation to re-use the PPE. It is strictly forbidden to modify or repair a PPE

yourself. Only the manufacturer or a repair centre is qualified to carry out these repairs (fig. 1.1).=
When the system is delivered with an integrated equipment, it is forbidden to replace one of the components of

this system. Carefully check the following points :

•All the cable or the webbing winds out and in freely.
•The braking function operates by giving a quick tug on the cable, strap. The cable, strap should brake

immediately. (Picture 1.2)

•The device is in good condition and the screws and the closing rivets are present and suitably fixed.
•The extremity of the cable or the webbing is suitably swaged or sewed.
•The carabiners provided with the device function and lock correctly.
•There is no trace of corrosion on the metallic parts.
•The cable or webbing does not show any sign of wear(tear, fraying, breaking, corrosion, etc…) (Picture

NOTE

Self-retractable fall arresters are designed essentially to operate in a vertical position. However, Some models

are also capable of opera-ting in the horizontal position (for confirmation, contact the maker of his agent). But,

before installing, it is highly advisable to check there is no risk of pendulum movement and to protect the cable,

strap from any cutting edges or abrasive surfaces .
For retractable fall arrester fitted with a fall indicator, check before use that the fall indicator has not been acti-

vated. Its activation demonstrates that the device has been subjected to a fall or a significant traction force. In

this case, the device must be returned to the manufacturer or to a certified repair centre for checks (Picture 2)

USE

Connexion :

•The retractable type fall arrester harness can be connected to a reliable anchorage point by its handle

or by a connector, a lanyard, a fibre-type sling compliant with standards EN 362, EN 354, EN 795.

•The connector situated at the end of the cable or of the strap of the equipment must be connected to

the fall arrest anchorage point of the harness.

ATTENTION DO NOT ATTACH THE CABLE, STRAP OF THE FALL ARRESTER TO OTHER

POINTS THAN THOSE INTENDED FOR THIS SYSTEM. DO NOT ATTACH IT DIRECTLY TO THE

WEBBING, ON THE ADJUSTMENT ELEMENTS OR ON THE ACCESSORY HOLDER.THE “D“

BACK ANCHORAGE POINT OF THE HARNESS IS THAT WHICH WILL ALLOW, IN THE CASE OF

A FALL, THE BEST POSITIONING (PICTURE 1.4)

Limits of use (except in special cases - see specific manual):

•Temperature of use : from - 30°c to + 60°c (Picture 1.6)
•Must always be placed above the user (Picture 1.7)
•Limit of pendular movement inferior to 30° (Picture 1.8)
•Can not stop a sinking (pulverulents or muddy products) (Picture 1.9)

Precautions of use :

•Check that the height of the anchorage point above the work space is compatible with the capacity of

the fall arrester and that sufficient clearance exists, which is compatible with the characteristics of
the device in the case of a fall.

•Check that during use, the cable or the webbing does not get wound around an arm or a leg.
•Never try to modify or to repair PPE; Only the manufacturer or a certified maintenance centre is autho-

rised to repair it.

•Never connect more than one person to the fall arrester.
•Never block the winding out of the cable, strap.
