Limitation Of Use; Security; Warning - TEUFELBERGER ringLOOP Manuel D'utilisation

after a single fall – this must only be done if a
suitable structural anchor (tree / branch) is chosen.
(After all, in the type examination, dynamic loading
was tested twice without making any readjustments
of or other corrections to the anchor device.) The
structural anchor (tree / branch) must withstand
more than 12 kN.
– Always attune the length of the anchor device to the
object it is looped around. When using the product
in a double sling configuration, the length of the rope
(2 L) should be at least three times the length of the
circumference of the object to be enlooped so that
the rope will be positioned in the direction of pull.
– A work positioning system must always be main-
tained as taut as possible from the anchor point to
the belayed person (avoid rope slack).

– WARNING:

When working with fall arrest note that
- an energy absorber according to EN 355 is need-
ed that reduces dynamic forces to max. 6 kN.
- the lanyard including fall arrest systems and
connection elements must not exceed 2 m.
- a clearance of 7m underneath the user is needed
to avoid ground impact.

Prior to every use, this product must be subject to
a visual inspection in order to verify its integrity,
readiness for use and proper functioning.
Once the product has been subject to a fall, its use
must be discontinued immediately. If the slightest
doubt remains, the product must be retired or may not
be used again until a duly compentent person, having
subjected such product to the required testing and
inspections, has approved its further use in writing.
It must be ensured that the recommendations for
use with other components be complied with: ropes
need to meet EN 1891, while carabiners need to
meet EN 362. Further PPE components must meet
the harmonized standards under the regime of
regulation (EU) 2016/425. Ensure all neighbouring
components are compatible. Ensure all components
are correctly configured. Failure to do so increases
risk of serious injury or fatality.
