1. WORK POSITIONING LANYARD
CE 0197 - EN 358
Maximum length of fall : 0,5 m.
GRILLON HOOK
Warning : Incorrect position of the HOOK +
pressure on the locking system = risk of accidental
unclipping!
Incorrect positioning of the HOOK connector in the
harness D-ring combined with an unintentional
pressure or an impact on the gate's locking system
can lead to accidental unclipping of the HOOK.
To avoid this risk, clip your HOOK correctly and
make sure it is properly positioned before each
loading of the lanyard.
Remember: for your safety, get into the habit of
backing up your equipment.
Always use a secondary system to back-up the
primary work positioning system.
2. PORTABLE HORIZONTAL LIFELINE
- EN 795 Class C
The GRILLON L52... is a portable lifeline which
must not be permanently installed in the same way
as a permanent steel cable lifeline.
Warning, must only be installed by experts who
have been trained in this technique.
Diagram 2A. Setting up
The GRILLON L52... must be used in combination
with EN 795 anchors and EN 362 connectors with
a minimum strength of 16 kN for the fi xed points
(both at the ends and for the intermediate points).
Do not tie knots at the intermediate anchor points.
The distance between two anchor points must not
exceed 5 m.
Stow away any unused rope.
Maximum inclination = 15°.
Allow 1,2 m extra clearance to allow for sag in the
lifeline.
Diagram 2B. Using the temporary lifeline
Only one person per span
(between 2 intermediate points) and two persons
maximum on the lifeline.
Equipment must not be hung on the lifeline. Where
the fall may exceed 1m,
EN 355 energy absorbers must be used, attached
to a fall arrest harness. Care should be taken
to ensure that the free height under the user is
suffi cient to avoid obstacles in the event of a fall.

General information
Important notice : specifi c training is
essential before use
Read this notice carefully and keep all product
instructions and information. Only the techniques
shown in the diagrams that are not crossed out
are authorised. All other uses are excluded :
danger of death. A few examples of misuse and
forbidden uses are also represented (shown in
the crossed out diagrams or with the "skull and
crossbones" symbol). Many other types of misuse
exist and it is impossible to enumerate or even
imagine all of them. In case of doubt or diffi culty in
understanding, contact PETZL.
Activities at height are dangerous and may lead to
severe injury or even death. Gaining an adequate
apprenticeship in appropriate techniques and
methods of protection is your own responsibility.
You personally assume all risks and
responsibilities for all damage, injury or death
which may occur during or following incorrect use
of our products in any manner whatsoever. If you
are not able, or not in a position to assume this
responsibility or to take this risk, do not use this
equipment.
Use
This product must only be used by competent
and responsible persons, or those placed under
the direct and visual control of a competent and
responsible person.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is to be
used only on or with energy absorbing systems
(for example dynamic ropes, energy absorbers
etc...). Check that this product is compatible with
the other components of your equipment (see the
instructions specifi c to this product). To prolong
the life of this product, care is necessary, when
transporting as well as when using it. Avoid
impacts, or rubbing against abrasive surfaces
or sharp edges.
It is up to the user to foresee situations requiring
rescue in case of diffi culties encountered while
using this product.
Checking = safety
Do not hesitate to scrap a product showing signs
of wear which might affect its strength, or restrict
its operation. For your safety we advise you to
adopt a 3-level checking schedule :
- before and after each use it is necessary to check
the condition of the product,
- during use, it is important to regularly monitor
the condition of the product and of its connections
to the other elements of the system.
- Periodically, a more thorough inspection
must be carried out by a competent inspector :
approximately every three months for textile
products and helmets, approximately annually for
metallic products.
For more safety and better control of your
equipment, we advise you to keep an inspection
record for each product.
It is preferable to personally issue each user of
P.P.E. with his or her own set of equipment.
Major fall and impact
Do not continue to use this product after a major
fall or a major impact (fall of the product or impact
on the product). Even though no external signs
may be visible, a deformation may restrict its
operation or internal damage may have occurred,
thus reducing its strength. Do not hesitate to
contact PETZL in case of doubt.
Lifetime = shelf life + useful life
Shelf life (in favorable conditions) :
Helmets, harnesses, webbing slings and
lanyards : 5 years
Metallic products : no limitation.
- The useful life depends on the intensity and the
environment of usage. Certain environmental
elements will considerably accelerate wear : salt,
sand, snow, ice, moisture, chemicals.
In exceptional circumstances, wear or damage
could occur on the fi rst use which reduces the
lifetime of the product to that one single use.
Maximum useful life :
helmets, harnesses : 5 years;
slings, lanyards : 3 years;
metallic products : no limitation.
For webbing, slings, and lanyards, because of their
direct contact with supporting structures and the
heavy demands that usage places on them, their
average operational lifetime is 6 months heavy
use, 12 months normal use, 3 years maximum
occasional use.
PETZL guarantee
This product is guaranteed for 3 years against
any faults in materials or manufacture. Exclusions
from the guarantee : normal wear and tear,
modifi cations or alterations, incorrect storage,
poor maintenance, damage due to accidents, to
negligence, or to improper or incorrect usage.
Responsibility
PETZL is not responsible for the consequences,
direct, indirect or accidental, or any other type of
damage befalling or resulting from the use of its
products.
