3.) Use
This product is a retractable fall arrested which completely locks
the wheel as soon as a sudden downwards movement occurs
(lowering too fast, fall, loss of equilibrium), regardless of the running
direction. The product must only be used with a rope tested by
Skylotec (Fig. 2.1). The correct attachment of the guy rope is
essential for avoiding serious or even life-threatening injuries. (Fig.
2.2). An incorrectly inserted guy rope can result in serious or even
life-threatening injuries (Fig. 3.1 + 3.2 + 3.3).
The retractable fall arrester must always be attached above the
user (Fig. 2.3) and must never be climbed over (Fig. 3.4).
Before using the device, a visual and functional inspection must be
carried out (Fig. 2.4 + 2.5). First check the unit, including the full
length of the safety line, for damage (cracks, deformities, etc.).
