Maintenance consist of hand washing using neutral detergent and drying
protected from sunlight. Only for metal mobile parts, lubricate them with
silicon oil. For PolyAmide, PolyEster, stainless steel, disinfection consist
in whashing at 60°C and drying protected from sunlight. For aluminium alloy,
carbon steel or HMPE devices, disinfection consist in a quarantie period of
minimum 7 days (see local regulations). In both cases, do not iron, bleach,
tumble, spin dry, do not use a dryer.
Store and transport the device in a dry place with temperatures between -10°C
to 50°C, well ventilated and chemically neutral, protected from sunlight and
UV. Do not expose to chemicals, cutting edges, mechanical damage, microbes,
rain, or wetness.
User safety depends on continuous efficiency, integrity and strength of the
device, which it is necessary to monitor through the controls and the
prescribed inspections. Before and after use the user must carry out all the
checks described, and in particular make sure that the device is in optimal
conditions, works properly, and is suitable for use (any other use is non-
compliant and therefore potentially dangerous). Inspections of Category III
devices shall be carried out at least every 12 months starting from the first
use, by a competent person (e.g. a “KONG PPE Inspector”) in compliance with
the manufacturer’s requirements. The time interval between inspections can be
reduced according to the method, the frequency, and the environment of use.
The results of periodic inspections must be recorded on the device inspections
form or on a designated register.
The lifespan of the metal components is indefinable, theoretically unlimited,
while those affected by aging report the expiration date over which the device
shall be replaced (usually 10 years from manufacturing). This provided that
the device was not used to stop a fall; storage, maintenance, use, comply
with the information in this information; the results of pre -use and post-use
checks and inspections are positive; the device is used not exceeding the
marked breaking load of 1/4 for metal devices, or 1/10 for textile devices.
****This device can be used in combination with other devices when compatible
with relevant manufacturer information. Discard the devices used to stop a
fall or which have not passed pre-use or post-use checks, or periodic
inspections. Personal use of the device is recommended. If the user has the
slightest doubt about the efficiency of the device shall replace it
immediately, particularly after using it to stop a fall.
Avoid exposing the device to sources of heat and contact with substances
chemical. Reduce direct exposure to the sun, in particular for textile and
plastic devices. Low temperatures and humidity can facilitate the formation of
ice, make it difficult to make connections, reduce flexibility, as well as
increasing the risk of breakage, cutting and abrasion.
The minimum strength of the anchor points shall be at least 12 kN, both made
on natural and artificial elements. The evaluation of those made on natural
elements (rock, plants, etc.) are only possible in an empirical way, so it
shall be carried out by a trained and experienced person. For those made on
elements artificial (metal, concrete, etc.), the evaluation can be carried out
scientifically, therefore it shall be carried out by a trained and authorized
person. EN363 fall protection/prevention systems requires a EN795 anchor
point.
Prolonged suspension, especially if inert, can cause damage irreversible and
even death. It is absolutely forbidden to modify and / or repair the device,
outside than what is prescribed in this information. This device shall only be
used by users medically fit, trained (and educated) for use or under direct
control of trainers / supervisors. Improper use, deformations, falls, wear,
chemical contamination, exposure to temperatures below -30 ° C or above + 50 °
C for textile/plastic parts/devices and + 120 ° C for metal devices, are some
examples of other causes that can reduce, limit and terminate the life of the
device.
This manufacturer’s instructions and information must be read and well
understood by the user before using the device.
Check that the device has been supplied intact, in the original packaging and
with its information. For devices sold in different countries from the
destination of origin, the distributor must verify and supply the translation
of this information.
In individual fall protection/prevention systems is essential to carry out
risk assessment and ensure that the entire system, of which this device is
only one part, is both reliable and safe. There must be in place a rescue plan
to deal with any emergencies that could arise while using the device. The
position of the anchor device or the anchor point is fundamental and must be
as high as possible, while the height of potential falls must be reduced to
the minimum. Devices employed must be suitable for the purpose and certified.
In a fall arrest system it is mandatory to use a full body harness being the
only device suitable for this use and it must comply with current regulations.
Assess the clearance under the user, the height of a potential fall, the
stretch of the line/rope, the deployment of an eventual energy absorber, the
height of the user, and the “pendulum” effect, in order to avoid any possible
obstacle. Personal protective equipment is certified by the notified body
reported in the specific instructions of the device in accordance with Annex
V of the Regulation (EU) 2016/425. If Category III PPE, they are subject to
surveillance of production by the notified body whose accreditation number is
marked on the device, in accordance with Annex VIII of the Regulation (EU)
2016/425. MASTER TEXT in Enlgish
