Installation
The installation, adjustment of the cable length, and adjustment of the loading capacity of the retractor may only be carried
out by authorized, trained personnel.
Versions with plastic housings may not be positioned in the immediate vicinity of heated air fans.
The system on which the retractors and fall protection (4) are mounted must be designed with safety factor of at least 5 (5 x
[intrinsic weight of the ret maximum permitted load]).
Hang the retractor using a safety hanger (2).
Ensure that the retractors cannot slip out of the safety hanger (2)
Tighten the safety nut (2.02).
Fasten the fall protection (4) onto the hanger system:
- The freedom of movement of the retractor may not be hindered.
- The falling distance in case the retractor should fall may not exceed 100 mm!

Maintenance and testing
If damage or corrosion is discovered, stop work with the retractor immediately, mark the retractor as defective, and
inform the responsible supervisor.
We recommend applying an acid-free grease to all moving parts and friction points.
Carry out a daily visual inspection for corrosion and damage:
Cable
Safety hanger (2)
Fall protection (4)
The retractor, and particularly the cable, must be tested at least once annually for damage by an expert (ISO 4309).
In case of damage, the unit may no longer be operated.

Disposal
All regulations for the disposal of metals, plastics, electrical and electronic parts, greases, oils, and so on valid at
the time of disposal must be followed.
Any dismounting work required may only be carried out by appropriately trained and instructed technicians.
