the device. Minimal static strength of the
element should be 12kN. Rope of the
device should be protected with

to prevent damage of the rope when

in contact with abrasive surface or sharp
edges of the element around which it is
routed – Fig. 1a).

2. The device can be attached to
attachment buckle of a sit harness
compliant with EN 813 or a single D-ring of
a work positioning belt – Fig. 2. Attach
connector for rope length adjuster to
attachment buckle of a harness, and rope
connector to anchor point located at the

construction of anchor point must not allow
for a self-acting disconnection of the
device. Minimal static strength of anchor
point should be 12kN.

THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USERS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT:

personal protective equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
personal protective equipment must not be used by a person with medical condition that could affect the safety of the

equipment user in normal and emergency use.

a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
being suspended in PPE (e.g. arresting a fall), beware of suspension trauma symptoms.
to avoid symptoms of suspension trauma, be sure that the proper rescue plan is ready for use. It is recommended to use

foot straps.

it is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent.
any repair shall only be carried out by equipment manufacturer or his certified representative.
personal protective equipment shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is

intended.

personal protective equipment should be a personal issue item.
before use ensure about the compatibility of items of equipment assembled into a fall arrest system. Periodically check

connecting and adjusting of the equipment components to avoid accidental loosening or disconnecting of the components.

it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by or

interferes with the safe function of another.

before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of the equipment, to ensure

that it is in a serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is used.

during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any damages, excessive wear,

corrosion, abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting, especially take into consideration:

in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;
in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors;
in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element, splices;
in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting elements;
in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;

in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws, connector,

energy absorber;

in metalic components (connectors, hooks, anchors) - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting.

after every 12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to carry out periodical

detailed inspection. The periodic inspection must be carried out by a competent person for periodic inspection. The periodic
inspection can be carried out also by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.

in case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types of retractable fall arresters the annual inspection can be

carried out only by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.

regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the users which depends upon

the continued efficiency and durability of the equipment.

during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking. Don’t use the equipment with the

illegible marking.

it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the reseller

shall provide instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in language of the country in which the
product is to be used.

personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe

use and not used again until confirmed in writing by equipment manufacturer or his representative after carried out the detailed
inspection.

personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed (or another procedures shall be

introduced according detailed instruction from equipment manual) when it have been used to arrest a fall.

a full body harness (conforming to EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used, in a fall arrest

system.

in full body harness use only attachment points marked with a capital letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system.
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a

way, as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The anchor device/point should be placed above the
position of the user . The shape and construction of  the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the
equipment. Minimal static strength of the anchor device/point is 12 kN. It is recommended to use certified and marked structural
anchor point complied with EN795

it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion of use the fall arrest

system, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value
of the free space should be taken from instruction manual of used equipment.

there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have

to be observed during equipment utilization, especially: - trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges, - any defects
like cutting, abrasion, corrosion, - climatic exposure, - pendulum falls, - extremes of temperature, - chemical reagents, - electrical
conductivity.

INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE

1. Attach connector for rope length adjuster to one side attachment 

buckle of a work positioning belt compliant with EN 358. Put the 

rope around a construction element and attach the connector to 

the other side attachment buckle – Fig. 1. Construction element 

should be located at the height of user's waist or above. Shape 

and construction of construction element shall not allow for a self-

acting disconnection of the device. Minimal static strength of the 

element should be 12kN. Rope of the device should be protected 

with protective sleeve to prevent damage of the rope when in con-

tact with abrasive surface or sharp edges of the element around 

which it is routed – Fig. 1a).

2. The device can be attached to attachment buckle of a sit harness 

compliant with EN 813 or a single D-ring of a work positioning belt 

– Fig. 2. Attach connector for rope length adjuster to attachment 

buckle of a harness, and rope connector to anchor point located 

at the height of user's waist or above. Shape and construction of 

anchor point must not allow for a self-acting disconnection of the 

device. Minimal static strength of anchor point should be 12kN.

3. Using the rope adjuster, adjust the length and the tension of the 

rope to assure a stable work position and restrict the free fall of the 

worker. The lanyard must be kept taut during use.

a) Lengthening the rope

Unlock the adjuster by pressing adjuster lever – Fig. 3.

Deflect from the construction to tension and lengthen the rope. Release the lever to lock of the rope 

and stop its lengthening.

b) Shortening the rope

Pull the rope free end towards the construction by inclining in this direction –Fig. 4

NOTE: Before and during operation, check whether individual attachment elements are connected 

properly. Connectors must be closed and protected against accidental opening by locking gear.
