lever and then attach the snap hook to the front
attaching point of safety harness. Make sure that the
snap hook gate is closed and locked.
Attention:
The snap hook inserted into the locking lever hole is
additional protection against accidental disconnection of the
rope grab. It is impossible to take off the rope grab from the
working rope without removing the snap hook from the
locking lever.
The rope grab must be attached to the safety harness only
with a single oval type snap hook, without any additional
elements.
CONNECTING THE ROPE GRAB TO THE SAFETY HARNESS
!
the rope grab must be connected only with a single oval type snap hook which complies with EN 362 to front
attaching point of full body harness. The full body harness must comply with EN361
!
it is strictly forbidden to connect the rope grab to the work positioning belt

- 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 connectors - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting.
THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USERS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
!
after every12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to carry out periodical detailed inspection.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.
!
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.
