WARNING!
Working at heights and related activities are inherently dangerous. It is the
responsibility of any person using this equipment to learn, understand and
practice the proper techniques for use of the equipment for its designated
purposes. It is impossible for this document to cover every eventuality and
incorrect use of this equipment may result in fatal consequences. This
equipment should only be used by a competent person or a person specifically
trained in its use. This equipment should not be used by persons with medical
conditions that may affect the safety of the user. You are responsible for
your own actions and any person using this equipment assumes all risks and
full responsibility for all damages or injury which may result from the use of
it. No responsibility will be accepted by At Height Ltd for damage, injury or
death resulting from misuse.
It is impossible in this booklet to cover all methods of use. The following
instructions and pictograms show some of the common correct and incorrect
methods of use; it is impossible to predict them all.
There is no substitute for instruction by a trained and competent person. It
is essential that a risk assessment is carried out prior to any use and a
rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise
during the work.
If this product is resold outside the original country of destination the
reseller should provide these instructions for use in the language of the
country in which the product is sold.
Gate Mechanisms
Immediately before, during, and after use, visually/functionally inspect to
ensure that this equipment is in a serviceable condition and operates
correctly.
Do a functional check by fully opening the gate and then release – the gate
should fully close and self-lock (except screwgate mechanism). A thorough
examination must be carried out at least annually by a competent person or
more frequently depending on local legislation, the intensity of use, or
external factors such as temperature, the effects of chemicals, rust,
abrasion, or other local damage. All inspections should be recorded in an
equipment record log similar to the one below.
The user should be aware of its history (use, storage, inspection, etc.). If this equipment is not for personal use (e.g. used in mountaineering centers), we strongly recommend a systematic approach to record keeping. This should always be carried out by a competent person. If you are in any doubt about the safe condition of this equipment, or if it has been used in a fall arrest it should immediately be withdrawn from use and checked by a competent person.
Cleaning, Storage, and Transport
This equipment must not be marked, modified or repaired by the user. Note:
This equipment is not user maintainable with the exception of the following:
Cleaning: if required clean with a mild household detergent and rinse in clean
water. Thoroughly rinse and dry naturally in a warm ventilated room away from
direct heat. Important: Cleaning is recommended after every use in a marine
environment.
Lubrication: Lubricate the mechanism with suitable light oil. This should be
carried out after cleaning. Cleaning and lubrication may cure a defective
mechanism, if it does not, replace the product immediately. Lubrication is
recommended after every use in a marine environment.
Storage and transport: this product should be stored in a clean, dry
environment free from chemicals or corrosives and away from excessive heat or
high humidity.
Lifespan
This is the maximum life of the product, subject to detailed conditions, that
the Manufacturer recommends that the product should remain in service. Metal
Products – Indefinite. This may be as little as a single use, (or even
earlier if damaged e.g. in transit or storage prior to first use) when
considering the following criteria: fall arrest, general wear, chemical
contamination, corrosion, mechanical malfunction/ deformation, cracks, loose
rivets, heat contamination (over normal climatic conditions), clear and
readable marking (e.g. marking, batch reference, individual serial numbers
etc). Materials used are primarily steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
In Use
The anchorage point of your fall arrest system should as a minimum conform to
EN795 (or appropriate International Standard depending on which country the
equipment is sold) and ideally be positioned above the user in such a way to
minimize the potential for falls and fall distance .
Care must be taken if this connector is likely to be loaded using wide straps
(> 12mm wide) as this may reduce the strength of the connector if loading
occurs. Avoid loading the connector in multiple directions. Avoid sideloading
the connector or loading it over an edge.
Connectors with manual locking/self-closing gates should only be used where
the user does not have to attach and remove the connector frequently.
When using a captive pin the rope or webbing should be captivated inside the
eye.
This equipment is designed for use in normal climactic conditions (-40°C –
+50°C).
Do not make alterations or carry out repairs to this equipment. This equipment
should not be used outside of its limitations or for any purpose other than
that which it is intended. Danger may arise from the use of combinations of
items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by
or interferes with the safe function of another.
EZYiD Compatibility
Where products have EZYID enabled it means they can be or are fitted with a
highly robust RFID tag that contains a unique serial number that is
permanently associated with the product. This makes ongoing identification of
the product easier and could significantly increase its lifespan.
