This notice must be translated (possibly by the retailer) into the language of the country of use.
For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.
KRATOS SAFETY cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice;
do not use this equipment beyond its capabilities!
USE AND PRECAUTIONS:
A retractable fall arrester is a piece of personal protection equipment. It should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one
person at a time).
When the user moves (up or down), the cable winds onto and unwinds from a pulley. The webbing is kept taut by means of a return spring.
In the event of a fall, a system locks the webbing and prevents it unwinding, thus stopping the fall instantly. The shock absorber at the end of
the retractable lanyard then tears to absorb the energy generated by the fall.
User safety relies on the effectiveness of the equipment and full understanding of the safety instructions contained in this leaflet.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
INSTALLATION
In normal use, the top swivel can be connected either to the anchoring point on the structure or to the attachment point on the harness.
WARNING! In horizontal use (close to a sharp edge), it is IMPERATIVE that the top swivel is connected to the anchoring point and that
the other end is connected to attachment point on the harness.
WARNING! When using the device in combination with a connector ref. FA 20 502 00A, or 2 devices in combination with a connector ref.
FA 20 502 00B, directly connected to the junction of the dorsal straps of the harness, MAKE SURE YOU NEVER WORK IN HORIZONTAL
USE.
WARNING! When using 2 devices connected to the dorsal attachment point of a harness through a connector ref. FA 20 502 00B (or other),
NEVER hook the 2 retractable lanyards at the same level and/or same anchor point.
The device's anchoring point must be positioned above the user and must comply with standard EN795 (R>12kN - EN795:2012 or R>10kN
- EN795:1996).
However, the equipment is also certified for use above the anchoring point (Factor 2). WARNING! In this case, the necessary clearance
is: a minimum of 5 m under the user*.
It is prohibited to use the device with structures with small diameters and corrosion as this can affect the performance of the webbing, unless
these are adequately protected.
The equipment is certified for horizontal use near sharp edges (RfUs VG11.060:2014). WARNING! In this case, do not combine horizontal
use AND fall factor 2, see the figures below.
The clearance must be at least*:
Factor 1 –
Factor 0 Factor 2 – 1.5 m Factor 2 – 2 m
0.6 m
Clearance of the PPE under the user 1.80 m 2.20 m 4.40 m 5 m
* : It is essential for safety reason to verify the clearance at the work place before each use and during use in order to be sure there will be
no collision with the ground or obstacle in case of fall. Take particular attention to obstacle in movement (for example truck, mobile work
platform,.....).
The maximum angle of inclination when used vertically must be: 40 °.
Use the product between: - 30°C / 50°C.
Ensure that the general arrangement limits swinging in the event of a fall, and that the work is done in such a way as to limit the risk and the height of
a fall. For safety reasons and before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle obstructing the normal deployment of the cable
or the webbing.
We also recommend that you do not suddenly let go of the cable when it is rolled out; it is better to keep a hand on it as it reels into the
retractable fall arrester.
Before and during use, we recommend that you take all the necessary precautions for a safe rescue should it be needed.
This equipment is for the sole use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person.
Warning! Certain medical conditions may affect user safety; if in doubt, consult your doctor.
