RESTRICTIONS
a) CAPACITY: The maximum working load (CMT) of this product is 360lbs (164kg). According
to EN 795: 2012 and TS16415: 2013, use an EN-360 fall protection system and / or EN-363
or EN-1496 recovery system.

The manufacturer certifies that the anchoring devices have been tested in accordance with
this European standard (EN 795: 2012 Type A and TS16415: 2013) and that, unless indicat-
ed otherwise, they are suitable for use by a single person, by anchor point, with an energy
absorber in accordance with EN 355.
c) PRECAUTIONS: Take the necessary precautions to limit injuries to the user and risks of
damaging the XTIRPA system.
d) Use of the XTIRPA system in areas where environmental hazards exist may require addition-
al precautions to limit the possibility of injury to the user or damage to the XTIRPA system.
Hazards may include, but are not limited to: high heat, fire, flame, smoke, fumes, caustic
chemicals, corrosive environments, high voltage power lines, sudden changes of pressure,
explosive or toxic gases or substances, water or risks of flooding, risks of wall, ceiling or floor
collapsing, moving machinery and sharp edges.
e) Install and secure all signaling and other precautionary and security measures, including but
not limited to, notifying users, bystanders and vehicle operators circulating near the XTIRPA
system of the presence of the XTIRPA system and its workers, before starting work.

Wear all appropriate certified and recommended security equipment such as, but not limited
to, hard hat, protective eyewear, leather gloves, protective clothing, work boots, harness in

WARNING
: Equipment shall not be used past its capacity, or in any other applications for
which the equipment was not designed.
WARNING:
The equipment should only be used by trained and competent persons in
order for this product to be used safely.
g)
Always work in teams of at least two (2) people: 1 attendant and 1 confined space work
-
er (the person attached to the lifeline cable or rope). These people must be qualified and
trained on the XTIRPA system. They must have read and understood this instruction and
safety manual before using the XTIRPA system. One person works in the confined space
(the user attached to the lifeline cable or rope) and the other (attendant) pays out the line and
reels it in, keeps in contact with the person inside and remains available in case of any emer-
gency. The attendant makes sure, at all times, that the user who is tying his lifeline cable or
rope to his EN 361-compliant harness is in the right position. The attendant also assures that
the XTIRPA system is well in place and that no load imbalance is possible.
IMPORTANT:
During installation of the system, it is important to ensure stability through-
out.
