WARNING!
WARNING! Only certified connectors (EN 362) will be
used for rigging the anchor slings / connecting lanyards.
Carefully read the instructions of the connectors you
intend to use and of the other components of the
system!
It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to use these anchor
slings / connecting lanyards for lifting or handling
materials! Personal Protective Equipment against
Falls should never be used as lifting equipment!
When building complex, multi-anchor rigging systems
using triangle layouts, keep the angle between the slings
(α)
as acute as possible! Wide angles multiply load
(Rf)
transmitted to each anchor! We recommend
to always use slings of appropriate length, to keep the
angle below 60° !
