Warnings
Work with danger of falling must never be carried out alone.

Suspension trauma:
As a result of long hanging in the full body harness, suspension trauma can result.
In this case, the blood circulation in the body is reduced and the inner organs are no longer
supplied with sufficient oxygen.
Therefore it is absolutely recommended to take sweeping measures to decrease any hazard
of suspension trauma, such as e.g. creating a suspension load-relief (Prusik loop, trauma
belt or a length-adjustable connecting agent).
Nevertheless, if a fall from a height with subsequent hanging in the full body harness should
result during work, then rescue must be initiated quickly and immediately. In this case, the
rescued person is to be brought into the so-called squatting and chewing position after the
rescue, and may be moved after an adequate time in this position into a lying flat position.
Medical treatment is specified as mandatory in every case.
Remarks
These directions for use include an inspection log (monitoring card). Prior to the first
application, this inspection log is to be filled in by the user with the necessary information.
Changes and repair work are to be implemented exclusively by the manufacturer.
In addition to these directions for use, the directions for use of the PPE and anchoring
possibilities used are to be considered as mandatory.
