can adjust the clamping force. By turning right the force is increased and by turning left the force is reduced.
The clamps must close securely and the adaptor must be positioned firmly on the tripod’s leg.
Procedure for the use of the screw terminals: open the clamps by unclasping and position on a leg of the tripod,
put the movable clamp around the leg and close by means of the hinged rotating handle. In this position the
half-moon bolt should rest on the movable clamp. Fasten the clamps by turning the rotating handles to the
right. The adaptor must be positioned firmly on the tripod’s leg.
Pass the rope of the rescue device through the pulley and attach the pulley to the silver colored attachment eye
on the tripod’s head. The rope can now be passed downward through the pulley.
Here please follow the operating manuals of the products used.
If the anchor device is used as a part of the catch system, the user must be equipped with a means that limits
the maximum dynamic forces that affect the user during the catch process to a maximum of 6 kN. For safety, it
is essential that the position of the anchor device and the type of the work model be selected in such a way that
a free fall and the fall height are limited to a minimum. Connection devices with a fall insulator must be
connected in such a way that the function of the fall insulator is not impeded. Protect cables and belts from
sharp-edged objects, welding sparks, chemicals or other destructive or damaging hazards. Before initial usage,
become familiar with the function. Before and during usage, consider how any rescue actions that may be
necessary can be performed safely, quickly and effectively. The anchor device may only be installed and used
by trained and/or otherwise specialized personnel. The anchor device may only be used within the scope of the
specified terms of use and for the intended purpose. A rescue action plan must be in place in which all of the
emergencies possible during work are taken into account. Health restrictions such as cardio and circulation
problems, taking medication etc. can negatively impact the user when working at heights. With a combination
of machine parts for a system, it should always be ensured that the functions of the individual equipment parts
are not impeded. If the anchor device is sold to another country, the reseller must provide a manual for the
usage, service and regular inspection in the national language.
