
Furthermore, before the use of this equipment you must consider how a possibly
necessary rescue can be safely realized (emergency - rescue plan).

Changes or extensions may not be carried out without prior written approval from the
manufacturer. In the same way, all repairs may be carried out only in agreement with
the manufacturer.

This equipment may be used only within the in-service conditions as stipulated and
the planned intended purpose.

The free ends of a double-lined connecting agent (Twin) should not be fixed on the
full body harness (e.g. side hold eyelets).

Two individual connecting agents with a fall energy absorber in each case should not
be used side by side (i.e. arranged in parallel).

Note the correct composition of the overall PPE, since incorrect combinations of
equipment parts with regard to each other (compatibility) can impair the secure
functioning.

Any cable slack build-up should always be minimised.

There must be no health problems present (alcohol, drugs, medication, heart or
circulation problems).

Do not expose to acids, oils and corrosive chemicals, and if this is unavoidable rinse
off immediately after use and have equipment tested by an expert (certified person).

If the risk assessment before work commencement should indicate that a fall over the
edge is possible, the necessary protective measures (edge protection etc.) are to be
taken. A sharp-edge stressing, including all individual components used, must be
avoided.
 Textiles are to be protected against heat higher than 60°C. Attention is to be paid to
melting of the webbing. Weld bead markers are also to be considered as melting.

Avoid any corrosion danger and extreme heat and cold. Anchor point:

A labelling or identification of this equipment with a solvent-containing
Textmaker / Edding on supporting webbing or cables is prohibited, since this
can damage the textile fabric.

In case of resale in another country, the vendor must make available the directions
for use, maintenance, regular verification and repairs in the language of the other
country, for the security of the user.

DGUV 112-198 / -199, as well as DGUV 212-870, are to be observed here!

Other national regulatory specifications are also to be adhered to absolutely

The complete documentation, the directions on use, as well as the inspection log,
should be kept with the equipment.
Anchor point
The anchor point (anchor device according to EN 795 or the object with a minimum strength
according to DGUV 112-198 = 750 kg) is to be selected so that free fall and the fall height
are limited to a minimum.
The possible anchor point should located above the user in this case, and should not exceed
the max. angle of 30° to the vertical (swinging).
Cleaning
After completion of work, the equipment should be cleaned of any contamination. Clean with
warm water at 30°C and fabric-sensitive detergent and then dry in the shade.
Then leave the equipment to dry naturally and keep away from direct thermal action (e.g. fire
or similar heat sources).
The metal fittings are to be cleaned regularly and then lightly oiled or rubbed off with a cloth
and acid-free volatile oil.
You should only disinfect following a discussion with the manufacturer, since this can result
in discoloration of the webbing and in odour generation.
Not all disinfectants are suitable here.
Storage
Harnesses sould be stored and transported in a dry and dust-free state, in a closed metal or
plastic case or PVC bag. Store in a ventilated space and protect against direct solar
radiation. In order to achieve a high service life, the PPE g A should not be exposed longer
than required to strong solar radiation or to rain.
Testing
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against fall from a height is to be checked competent
professionals or the manufacturer as required, however at least once within twelve months.
The instructions of the manufacturer are to be observed in this case.
PPE g A is to undergo a visual control-check before every use.
The safety of the user is dependent on the effectiveness and stability of the equipment as a
whole. The functions of the device are to be checked by the user and attention must be paid
to the following points:
• Functional check of the carabiners used
• Functional check of ascent protection devices or rope adjusters
• Testing final connections (joints, spliced joints or knots)
• Check webbing, hardware parts, plastic parts and cables for damage (e.g.
deformations, cuts, breaks, heat action (weld beads) or wear)
• The identification on the product is to be checked for legibility.
Duration of utilisation
Good maintenance and storage extend the service life duration of the PPE against fall from a
height and thus provides for optimal safety.
The maximum service life of PPE g A depends on its condition and is normally up to 8 years
With consistent documentation of the annual competence tests and positive
evaluation by a skilled agency, the service life can be extended to 10 years.
Explanation of the pictograms
It is absolutely necessary to read the direction for use before use of this PPE and
to consider the warnings.
