and free from defects, especially the screw and ring
• The mounting surface must lie completely flat on the
surface after mounting.
• During operation, the latches have to be in position ‚B‘
(see section “Mounting” in this instruction manual)
• The ring must be rotated to face the direction of pull.
Regular Inspection:
• Regular inspection must be performed by the
manufacturer or by trained personnel under strict
compliance with the manufacturer information.
• The inspections and repairs need to be fully
documented and remain with the product for the

the functionality.
• If there are reasonable doubts on the functionality and/
or safety of the anchorage points.
