Work and sporting activities carried out at great heights or depths are
potentially dangerous.
Errors and carelessness can lead to serious injuries or even to death.
Experience is required in order to select the correct equipment.
Equipment may only be used by trained and experienced persons or under
instruction and supervision.
Users must be aware that poor physical and/or mental health can jeopardise

Personal protection equipment products may only be used to belay people.
PRODUCT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
WARNING: The bolts on this product must be tightened to the specified
torque, see illustrations.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON CHOOSING AN ANCHOR POINT, SAFETY, PRODUCT LIFE,
STORAGE, CARE AND IDENTIFICATION
All adjustable parts must be checked regularly during use.
ANCHOR POINT
In order to avoid high loads and swinging falls in the event of a fall,
anchorpoints for belay purposes must always be as vertical as possible above
theperson to be belayed. The lanyard/anchor device from the anchor point to
theperson secured should always be kept as taut as possible. Slack ropes
mustbe avoided! The anchor point must be designed in such a way that, when
fixingthe PPE, no effects can occur which reduce the stability and it is not
damagedduring use. Sharp edges, ridges and crushing can seriously impair the
stability.These should be covered, where necessary, using suitable auxiliary
equipment.The anchor point and the anchoring must be able to withstand the
expectedloads in a worst-case scenario. Even when using shock absorbers
(according toEN 355) the anchor points should be designed for catching forces
of at least12 kN, also see EN 795.
SAFETY NOTICES
When combining this product with other components, the safety aspects ofthe
products may interfere with each other.
If this product is used in combination with other components of a rescue/ fall
arrest system, users must acquaint themselves with the enclosed
recommendations, notes and instructions for these components prior to use
andcomply with them. This equipment should only be used in connection
withparts of personal protective equipment (PPE) bearing the CE-symbol to
protectindividuals against falls from heights.
Only a fall arrest harness in accordance with EN 361 may be used with a
fallarrest system!
If original components are modified or removed from the product, its
safetyaspects may be restricted. The equipment should not be modified in any
wayor altered to allow attachment of additional parts without the
manufacturer’swritten recommendation.
The equipment must be checked for possible damage before and after eachuse. It
must be ensured that the equipment is serviceable and fully functional.The
equipment must be discarded immediately if there is even the slightestdoubt as
to its serviceability.
WARNING! The products must be kept away from damaging environments.This
includes contact with corrosive and aggressive substances (e.g. acids,alkalis,
soldering water, oils, cleaning agents), as well as extreme temperaturesand
flying sparks.
In addition, sharp edges, wetness and especially icing-up can diminish
thestability of textiles!
CLIMATE REQUIREMENTS
The permanent use temperature of the product (in dry condition) ranges from
approx. -30°C to +60°C.
LIFESPAN AND REPLACEMENT
The lifespan of the product mainly depends mainly on the way and frequency in
which it is used and external influences.
Products made from synthetic fibre (polyamide, polyester, dyneema) are subject
to a certain ageing process even if they are not used. This is caused by the
intensivity of UV-rays and environmental influences.
Maximum lifespan under optimal storage conditions (see section on storage) and
without use: no limit for metal parts.
Occasional use
Occasional and appropriate use without obvious wear and tear and with optimal
storage: no limit for metal parts.
Frequent or extreme use, catch load (catch factor >1)
Following a fall load or in the event of damage, the personal protection
equipment product should be withdrawn from use immediately and passed on to an
expert or to the manufacturer for checking with a written confirmation to this
effect and/or, if necessary, to be repaired.
Generally, PPE products must be replaced when the edges of belts are damaged
or yarns have been pulled from the belts, when seams are damaged or worn by
abrasion, when they have come in contact with chemicals or have been subjected
to hard catch load (catch factor >1).
Under extreme application conditions with lots of dirt (sand, dust) and
mechanical abrasion (e. g. by rough, cutting rock), the safety reserves of a
ribbon sling may be depleted
already after only a few weeks of use, and the ribbon sling may have to be
replaced.
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or in accordance with
procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
Inspection
The product must be checked and serviced by the manufacturer, a qualified
person or an authorised testing centre as needed, definitely after 20 hours of
use upon fitting of new bolts, as well as yearly.
Among other things the tightening torque of the bolts must be checked.
In the process, it must be ensured among other things that the product
labelling is legible.
STORAGE, TRANSPORT AND CARE
Storage
Temperature for permanent storage approx. –10 °C to +30 °C, dry and protected
from sunlight.
Avoid contact with chemicals (caution: battery acid!) or corrosive substances.
Store without mechanical stress caused by jamming, pressure or tension.
Transport
The product must be kept away from direct sunlight, chemicals, dirt and
mechanical damage.
For this purpose, a protective bag or special storage and transport containers
should be used.
Cleaning
Clean soiled products in luke-warm water (if necessary, use pH-neutral soap).
Rinse well. Dry at room temperature, never use a tumble drier or dry close to
radiators! If required, halogen-free commercial disinfectants may be used. The
joints of metal parts must be cleansed regularly and then be lubricated with
acid-free oil or a lubricant based on Teflon or silicone.
