Removing the fall arrester from the guide
Warning!
Before removing the fall arrester from the guide cable or detaching from the harness, users
must be secured and protected against a fall from height otherwise!
Fall protection must be ensured in another way before removing the fall arrester from the guide cable:
• Press the lock knobs with one hand (1).
• Push the karabiner with a braking lever up until the lock is in open position.
• Through the now-open gap in the casing of the shuttle, remove the shuttle.
• Release the braking lever (2) and the lock knob (1).
6 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The user must check the legibility of the product labels before each use.
A fall arrester which has arrested a person's fall from a height must not be used again until a
competent person has agreed on its further use. If no competent person is available, the fall arrester
must be returned to the manufacturer or authorized dealer for inspection together with these
instructions.
Depending on use requirements and operational conditions, the fall arrester must be inspected
by a competent person for unimpaired condition to ensure it is in perfect working condition as
required, but no less frequently than once a year. For reasons of safety the fall arrester may only be
repaired by the manufacturer.
Authorized person is a:
person, who due to his training and experience in the field of personal protective equipment against
falls from height, has sufficient knowledge about applicable state and local safety regulations,
applicable standards (e.g. EN-standards) and is thus capable and thus authorized by Honeywell of
judging the correct status and use of systems and products against falls from height.
Warning!
The gap between the Locking mechanism and the shuttle casing must not be more than
4.5 mm/0.18 in (See Fig. 8). If this value is exceeded, the fall arrester must be sent back to the
manufacturer for revision .
Warning !
The gap between the absorber loops must be less than 2 mm/0.08 in (See Fig. 9). If this value is
exceeded, the fall arrester must be sent back to the manufacturer for revision.
