3. GENERAL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
This winch is designed for use with a variety of accessories to perform many functions. There are
requirements common to all such systems that include, but are not limited to, the following.
3.1 Anchorage Strength
This winch is designed to be used in conjunction with a supporting structure capable of providing the
required anchorage strength. Supporting structures designed, manufactured, and/or approved by
Skylotec GmbH will have sufficient strength for the approved application. Any supporting structure not
designed, manufactured, and/or approved by Skylotec GmbH MUST BE designed, installed, and used
under the supervision of a Qualified Person.
The standards governing different situations specify various anchorage requirements. However, at no
time can the anchorage provide any less than the greater of:
-a 2:1 safety factor on the maximum arrest force (MAF) rating of any fall arrest system being used,
-a 4:1 safety factor on personnel working loads applied to the system,
-a 4:1 safety factor on material handling loads applied to the system.
Anchorages selected must meet applicable local requirements for anchorage strength. All installations
MUST BE used under the supervision of a Qualified Person.
3.2 Compatability of Connectors
Connectors used to connect components in the system must be compatible with each other to ensure
sufficient strength and eliminate the risk of accidental disengagement or rollout during use. Connectors
supplied with products designed, manufactured, and/or approved by Skylotec GmbH will meet all
applicable requirements for connectors. Any connectors not supplied by Skylotec GmbH MUST BE
selected and approved by a Qualified Person.
3.3 Full Body Harness
Use only a full body harness designed, tested, and approved for fall arrest when connecting a person to
this winch. Body belts or straps do not provide adequate support to the body to prevent serious injury or
death in the event of a fall.
3.4 Fall Protection
Activities involving working at heights require the use of equipment to protect the worker in the event of a
fall. Suitable fall protection must be provided as required by applicable local regulations when using this
winch.
