The following procedure refers to figure 28 on page 16:
"Important": In no event can the travsmart slider be
used with the EN 362 wire connector (item 1) anchored

rule will prevent optimum passage of the traveller at the
turn and intermediate anchors.

(item 11) opposite the connector (item 1).
b) Insert the connector (item 1) in the rocker opening
(item 12), then release the tilt lever (item 11) and also
the button (item 14).
c) Press in the button again (item 14) while holding the

corner unit, quick link connector, slider). Check legibility
of the marking on the components of the lifeline during
the periodic inspection.
In addition, the PPE used to combat falls from height
and the travsmart slider used in connection with the
travsmart lifeline are subject to verification prior to
being put into operation, as well as regular inspection
by a qualified person in accordance with the relevant
regulations and standards. This verification must take
place at least once a year.

clean, free of contaminating
construction waste, rubbish, etc.).
It is recommended to keep a monitoring book for each
lifeline, quoting the reference to the preliminary study,
the composition of the lifeline, the checks made, any
falls that have called upon the lifeline, refurbishing
measures and repairs, as well as any changes made
to the lifeline. In addition, PPE and the travsmart
slider must be registered and monitored annually
