the manufacturer.
It is forbidden to add, to remove or replace any energy absorber component whatsoever.
Temperature
: use the equipment between - 30°C and + 50°C to avoid affecting its operation.
Chemical products: remove the lanyard from service should it be exposed to chemical products, solvents or combustible materials that could affect its
operation.
TECHNICAL DATA: Material: polyamide and/or polyester – Breaking strength > 15 kN.
SUITABILITY FOR USE:
The energy absorbing lanyard must be used with a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the
dynamic force exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall is maxi 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body-gripping device that may
be used. It may be dangerous to create one’s own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Read the
recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:
Service life of the product is 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by KRATOS SAFETY), although
its actual service life may be longer or shorter, depending on its usage and/or annual inspection results. The product must be checked systematically in
case of doubt or after a fall and at least every year by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, in order to guarantee its resistance and thus the
safety of the end-user. The product data sheet should be completed (by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and date of next inspection
must be indicated on the data sheet, it is also recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.
SERVICING AND STORAGE:
(Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the energy absorber in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface. Clean it with water, wipe it with a rag and hang it up in a
well-ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have become
damp during use. The energy absorber should be stored in its packaging in a warm, dry, ventilated place, protected from sunlight, heat and chemicals.
