(the user attached to the lifeline cable or rope) and the other (attendant) pays out the line and
reels it in, keeps in contact with the person inside and remains available in case of any emer-
gency. The attendant makes sure, at all times, that the user who is tying his lifeline cable or
rope to his EN 361-compliant harness is in the right position. The attendant also assures that
the XTIRPA system is well in place and that no load imbalance is possible.

During installation of the system it is important to ensure stability through-
out.

and ropes on the certified 12kn anchor points of the davit arm, see section 6 paragraphs 3
