• Working webbing 27998 must be tensioned (without slack) between two structural points using
manual force (0.5kN-1.5kN). If the calculated value CRL in a specific point is greater than free space
under the user:
- use accordingly shorter energy absorbing and connecting component;
- use fixed fall arrest system with rigid line.
Before each use of personal fall protection equipment, the component of which is device 27998, ple-
ase check whether all system parts are properly interconnected and cooperate with other components
without any interference, and compliant with valid standards:
EN 361 - Full body harness;
EN 354 - Lanyards;
EN 355 - Energy absorbers;
EN 362 - Connectors (Snap hooks)
EN 795 - Anchor devices
• Horizontal lifeline can be used only with devices by the manufacturer of horizontal lifeline 27998:
- retractable type fall arresters (EN 360),
- energy absorbers with lanyards (EN 355),
- guided type fall arresters including a flexible anchor line (EN 353-2).
• To connect components of the system use connectors compliant with EN 362 only.
• Horizontal lifeline 27998 can be used in explosion hazard zones 1, 2, 20, 21 & 22.
• When using horizontal lifeline 27998 protect it from contact with oils, acids, solvents, alkali, open

• It is forbidden to make any modifications of horizontal lifeline 27998.
DEVICE MARKING (IDENTITY LABEL)
: Meaning of marking symbols [N], [O] (a) - device model (type);
(b) - name of device; (c) - reference no.; (d) - XX - length in metres: (10, 20 or 30); (e) - month and
year of product manufacture; (f) - product serial number; (g) - number and year of European standard;
(h) - CE mark and number of notified body; (i) – not: read manual; (j) – marking of manufacturer or
distributor responsible for controlling manufacturing of the equipment.
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
: The device should be subject to periodic inspection after at least each 12
months of usage, starting from date of the first use. Periodic inspection can be carried out only by a
competent person with adequate knowledge and trained in periodic inspection of personal fall pro-
tection equipment. Conditions of the device use may influence the frequency of periodic inspections
which may be carried out more frequently than after 12 months of usage. All periodic inspections
must be recorded in the identity card for the device.
MAXIMUM TIME OF USAGE
: The device can be used for 10 years from the manufacturing date.
NOTE:
Maximum time of usage depends on intensity and environment of use. If the device is used in
heavy conditions, being exposed to frequent contact with water, sharp edges, extreme of temperatu-
res or exposed to corrosive substances, it may be necessary to withdraw the device after only one use.
WITHDRAWAL FROM USE
The device must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed if it has been used to arrest a fall,
failed a periodic inspection or there are any doubts concerning its function.
