Useage
1.
The fall protection device runs in the
climbing rail pro
fi
le and accompanies
the user when climbing up or down the
climbing way, without any manual inter-
vention being necessary.
2.
The FABA Grip user leans back in the
harness when ascending or descending.
This exercises a horizontal pull on the fall
prevention device which can then move
freely in the safety pro
fi
le. This enables
highly ergonomic climbing. The special
functional principle makes it possible
to climb close to the safety pro
fi
le over
short distances. The FABA Grip locks in
the safety pro
fi
le in every fall situation.
If the climbing protection rail is mounted
on the side then the movement characte-
ristics can be restricted (The AL-D fall
prevention device is better suited to side
applications).
3.
The carriage is mounted on the safety
rail and, in combination with the harness,
protects the user from falling
only
when
ascending and descending. In addition,
while working or during breaks the
users
must
also secure themselves with
the permitted and intended rigging. It is
important to ensure that this additional
safety device always remains tight.
4.
After using the carriage, remove it
from the safety rail, clean and store in a
dry location.
The clearance below the feet of
the user must be at least 2 m.
Within the
fi
rst two meters the
user is eventually not protected against
hitting the ground so that special at-
tention during ascent resp. descent is
to be paid!
If it becomes necessary to release
the fall prevention device from
the harness or a remove it from
the climbing protection rail (e.g. to
detach it from the climbing protection
system using the detachable catch), then
the user must protect himself against
falling using other means, without fail,
(e.g. anchoring using a safety rope with
energy shock absorber) or finding a
place where it is safe to stand without
falling, before releasing the device!
STOP
Only use the carriage device or
original FABA™ equipment.
Before ascending always ensure
that the carabiner for the carriage is
correctly attached to the chest loop of
the harness, closed and locked. Users
must wear the harness (EN 361) as
tightly
fi
tted as possible. Do not use
harnesses with elastic straps.
