16. The IKAR fall arrester can be used in conformity with EN 360:2002, CSA Z259.2.2, ANSI/ASSE Z359.1-2007,
Z359.14-2014 within a temperature range between -30°C (-22°F) and +50°C (+122°F) (
17. The admissible nominal load of the person to be secured is 136kg (
18. Fall arresters must be protected against the impact of welding flames and sparks, fire, acidic substances,
alkaline substances and the like.
19. Do not apply any modifications or repairs to the fall arrester (
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or persons trained and authorised by the manufacturer.
20. Fall arresters may be used only by persons who have been trained accordingly or have been instructed by a
competent person. The person using the device must not have any physical or health impairments. (Alcohol,
drug or medication abuse, cardiovascular problems)
21. The service life of the fall arrester must be determined during each annual inspection; depending on wear, it
is approx. 10 years.
22. The fall arresters of types HWB / HWPB / HWS / HWPS, which are equipped with a hook clamp swivel
mounting, must be attached to the anchor points in such a way that no transverse or bending load can impact
the hook clamp swivel mounting. This is of particular importance in case of a fall.
23. The fall arresting devices (HWB 2 and HWPS 3-type) can also be equipped with a special swivel (SW-type).
24. The suitability for use of a fall arrester with horizontal fall protection in conformity with the current standards
must be verified by suitable tests on the complete system.
1. The cable / webbing should be rolled up only with a load applied. Never pull the cable / webbing out entirely
and the release it, as the sudden impact of the snap hook on the device may cause the return spring to break
( ).

2. For devices which are continually exposed to outdoor conditions, it is recommended to slightly grease the
steel cable with acid-free oil or Vaseline (for steel cables only).
3. The retractable fastener is made of PES / Dyneema and must be cleaned with warm water or neutral
cleaning agents only. Do not use thinner or the like. Use clean water to rinse away any cleaning agent
residue.
4. Attention: Please note! The fall arresters must be stored and transported in a dry, dust-free and oil-free
environment.
5. Textile components which have become wet due to cleaning or use must be dried by natural means only. Do
not dry near fire or similar sources of heat.
Note: The fall arrester has also been successfully tested for horizontal use and a simulated resulting fall over an
edge. For fall arresters with a fastener made of wire cable and for fall arresters with a fastener made of webbing,
an edge radius of
0.13mm was used ( ). As a consequence of this test, the fall arrester is suitable for use with similar edges, such
12
as those used on rolled steel profiles, on wooden beams or on a covered, rounded parapet. In addition, wall
arresters with wire cable are also suitable to withstand wear by edges such as that of flexible (non-reinforced)
trapezoidal sheet metal, pre-cast concrete elements or poured-in-place concrete edges. Notwithstanding this test,
the following must be observed at all times for horizontal or inclined use in which the risk of a fall over an edge
exists:
1. A risk assessment must be carried out prior to starting work. If the edge over which a fall may occur is a
particularly "cutting" edge and / or is not free of burrs (e.g. uncovered parapet or sharp, reinforced sheet
metal edge), appropriate precautions must be taken prior to starting work.
- a fall over the edge must be excluded
and
- the admissible nominal load of the devices for the stress sustained during a fall over edges (
be exceeded
and
- an edge protector must be installed prior to starting work
In cases of doubt, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer.
2. The anchor point of the fall arrester must not be below the surface (e.g. platform, flat roof) the person using
the device is standing on (
