Instructions for use
1.) Standards
2.) General information
The PEANUT, used in combination with a safety harness, is intended
solely to protect persons who are at risk of falling (e.g. off ladders,
roofs, scaffolding, etc.) while carrying out their work.
Function: The PEANUT limits the energy generated during a fall to an
amount that can be withstood by the body. Once used to arrest an
actual fall, the PEANUT may not be used subsequently!
The annual inspection has to be performed by a competent person
according to BGG 906 (i.e. country regulations for ppe inspection).
Attaching the PEANUT (see Fig. 1):
1. Hook fastening element (1) exclusively in fall arrest eyelet of the
safety harness. 2. Attach opposite fastening element (2) to a secure
anchor point. Ensure that the PEANUT (3) is not impeded and that it
does not run over edges or around bends. Safety karabiners and/or
fastening elements must always be protected from lateral and bending
pressures. The PEANUT may not be extended or used for tying.
2.1) Usage okay
2.2) Proceed with caution during usage
2.3) Danger to life
3.) Use in aerial work platforms
3.1) Use only anchor points with adequate load capacity (at least 3
kN) that are mounted at least 40 cm below the handrail. When using
higher anchor points a safe operation is no longer guaranteed.
3.2) The anchor point, and the entire platform extended in the
unfavorable case must be able to accommodate a dynamic surge of at
least 3 kN without interference. If the AP is higher, there is danger to
full failure and upset!
3.3) Violations by the impact on the working cage or the boom can
not be excluded.
Use in scaffolding:
The 2,5 m version is for use in scaffolding only. The anchor point needs
to be 1 m above the working level.
4.) Use
4.1) Before using the device, a functional test must be performed. For
that, pull the rope jerkily from the device. The catches must engage
immediately. In case of any doubt in regards to the safe condition of
the height safety device, immediately remove it from any further use.
4.2) The length should not be adjusted in an area with risk of falling.
4.3) Please note the overall length of a fastener attached to an
PEANUT (including terminations and fastening elements).
4.4) The maximum forces initiated into the structure in the event of
a fall is max. 6kN.
4.5) Avoid slack rope.
4.6) The anchor point should be perpendicular above the workplace. If
the anchor point is beneath the workplace, a fall may result in hitting
lower lying parts. If the anchor point is on the side, a fall may result in
hitting lateral parts. The height of the anchor point and the required
