operating
manual
with
the
product
and
carefully
out
the
test sheet depending on the product FallSafe-online.
-Completely read the operating manual.
-Understand and
accept
the
possibilities
and
restrictions
of
the
protective equipment as well as the risks associated with its use.
-This protective
equipment
should
only
be
used
by
persons
who
are
famil¬iar with
this
operating
manual,
who
are
physically
and
mentally
healthy,
and who
have

of
fall-protection
systems.
-Medical conditions
(cardiovascular
problems,
intake
of
medicines,
-Measures (emergency
plan)
must
be
for
fast
rescue
prior
to using
the
fall
prevention
system.
Attention:
After
a
fall a
longer
period of
suspension

cause
severe
injuries
or
even
death
(suspension trauma).
-When
using
the
protective
equipment
the
respective
accident
prevention guidelines
(e.g.
working
in
areas
where
there
is
danger of
falling) must be complied with.
-For horizontal
implementation
only
use
lanyard
that
are
suited
for
this purpose,
and
that
have
been
tested
for
the
respective
falling
edge (sharp
edges,
sheet
metal
with
trapezoidal
corrugations,
steel
girders, concrete, etc.). Attention: Avoid pendulum fall!
-The combination
of
the
elements
is
only
permitted
as
in
this
operating
manual.
Incorrect
applications
can
impair
safe function – this can result in severe or fatal injuries.
-The protective
equipment
has
been
developed
for
personal
safety
and may not be used for other purposes.
-Each person
active
in
the
areas
where
there
is
danger
of
falling
is
respon¬sible for
ensuring
that
the
connection
to
the
anchorage
system is kept as short as possible to prevent the possibility of a fall.
If uncertainties
concerning
safe
use
of
the
product
arise,
contact the manufacturer!

PRIOR TO EACH USE THE USER MUST INSPECT:
--Fall-arrest eyelets and anchorage eyelets (e.g. for wear)
--Buckles (e.g: ensure that they have safely locked in place – “click”
--Harness and
seams
(e.g.
check
for
cuts,
abrasion
or
other
damage)
--Also use
the
test
sheet
to
ensure
for
yourself
that
the
protective
equipment is suitable for the application
ANNUAL INSPECTION:
--The protective
equipment
must
be
subjected
to
a
visual
and
function check
at
least
every
12
months
by
an
appropriately
expert. Depending
on
the
environment
and
the
intensity
of
use
it
may
be necessary to shorten the inspection intervals
--The inspection
must
be
documented
on
the
test
sheet
that
must
be
stored along with the protective equipment
Function test:
The
insert
buckles
should
not
detach
under
tensile
load when only one unlock mechanism is activated.
ATTENTION! DO NOT USE ANY LONGER IF:
--Damage or
wear
is
visible
on
components
such
as
seams
and
--Stress has occurred due to falling
--Damage is determined through the regular inspection
--The service life has elapsed

1) Make sure the attachment points dont show any distortions, rust or
wear.
2) Visually inspect the outer shell for cracks, deformations, burns or
signs of corrosion.
3) Check that all the bolts and nuts are in place and properly thightened.
4) Check the good condition of the stitches and the mechanical
splicing’s.
5) Make sure the connectors lock properly and the levers move
freely and efficiently
.
6) Check the fall indicator. If it indicates a major fall has been
arrested, require immediate servicing and do not use the unit.
7) Pull out the line to the available length to ensure that it pays
out and recoils smoothly. Check for signs of abrasion or damage.
Draw under control the webbing / rope /cable back in to the unit.
8) Pull sharply the line to engage the brake.
1) Connect only to a proper anchor point conforming to EN795
(min 12 kN).
2) Connect the free end of the line with the sternal or dorsal
EN361 D-ring on your full body harness.
3) Verify the connectors are safely locked.
4) Make sure you always operate with an adequate clearance
underneath, in case of a fall, over the feet:
D = 2 m, for retractable fall arresters including only the fall indicator
(G); D = 4 m, for units including an shock absorber (H).
5) COnsider the pendulum effect operating the unit in a non vertical
situations.
6) When the unit is used in a non vertical situation, make sure you never
risk a fall over sharp edges which can seriously damage the line or,
in extreme cases, cut it. In case of doubt about the good state of
the line, require immediate servicing and do not use the device.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE USE OF CONNECTORS–EN
362:2004 / EN 12275:1998 ATTENTION : Read carefully before use.
The
connectors without the marking “EN 362:2004” comply with the previous
issue of the EN 362 standard (1993). These instructions contain all the
necessary information for the correct and safe use ofthe connectors in the
fields of activity: rescue, mountaineering,climbing, caving, “Via Ferrata”,
mountain skiing, rafting, free climbing, working at heights... The connectors
covered by these instructions are personal protection devices designed to
be integrated in fall arrest personal protection systems such as harnesses
and cables. The full body harness is the only acceptable body retaining
device that can be used in a fall arrest system. The connectors are a vital
transmission component of the mechanical resistance between a proper
anchorage point and the user who should accidentally fall. A malfunction
due to improper use of the equipment is dangerous for the physical health
of the user. The connectors must be used as follows: closed - with the
closing system locked – without any constrictions or other pressures on the
outer side of the connector. AL
WAYS CHECK before, after and during use
that the connector works properly. AL
WAYS REPLACE the connector after
a fall even if no defect or damage is visible; the initial resistance of the
connector could be seriously reduced. The possibility of re-using the device
must be authorized exclusively by the producer with a prior written consent
that reserves the right to carry out appropriate examinations and testing.
Any repair shall only be carried out in accordance with producer’s
procedures. REPLACE the connector that shows signs of wear and
corrosion. REPLACE the connector if opening and/or closing/locking are
difficult. Clean the connectors with soft water and dry it with a non-abrasive
cloth. When using CATCH-FREE System connectors, pay particular
attention to the slot on the lever: It has to be dirt-free: soil, mud, gravel
etc.(list not exhaustive). In the case of use on icefalls or alpine vironments,
make sure the slot on the lever is not obstructed by snow or ice.
LUBRICATE the mobile components with a general purpose, low viscosity
silicone oil used lubrificating metal and non-metal surfaces (e.g. LOCTITE
8021). If the connector comes in contact with salt water, wash it mediately
and lubricate it. All necessary maintenance operations must be carried out
by competent persons explicitly authorized and scrupulously following the
operational instructions established by the producer.
