KRATOS SAFETY MULTISAFEWAY Mode D'emploi page 11

unroll the cableto the return pulley located on the lifting arm and thread the cable on the pulley. Continue to unroll the cable until it reaches the end pulley
(Fig. 9), lift the cover and carefully thread the cable through the end pulley, close the cover, and insert the safety pin (Fig. 10).
Warning! Pay particular attention to properly installing the safety pins, and, if applicable, the pins used to mount the adaptation plate. If
applicable, make sure that the winch is properly mounted.
Warning! When in use, if another person stays near the davit arm (in the event that a rescue operation becomes necessary), this spotter must
ensure that he/she is not in situation that presents a fall risk. Each of the plates (FA 60 022 01/02/11/12) is fitted with an anchorage point to enable
a third person present during operations to be connected to the MULTISAFEWAY and therefore be secured.
Before first use: We recommend that the installation be visually inspected by a suitable person who can carry out the "reception" of this
installation. This person must check, among other things: suitability of the structural anchors and the receiving structure, the installation
plan relative to the job to be performed, cross-compatibility between the products (mounting bracket, adaptation plate and fall arrest system
installed on this anchor).
Connections between the anchorage points and the fall arrest system or rescue system, affixed above, must be made using a connector (EN362).
A MULTISAFEWAY is an individual anchorage point; we recommend that it be allocated to a single user. However, another person is needed in the
event of rescue lifting operations.
User safety relies on the effectiveness of the equipment and full understanding of the safety instructions contained in this leaflet.
The readability of the product's markings must be checked regularly.
The MULTISAFEWAY must be used so that the anchoring point be positioned above the user (minimum resistance 12 kN). Ensure that the general set-up
limits swinging in the event of a fall (the user should be plumb with the lifting arm as much as possible), and that the work is performed in such a way as
to limit the risk and height of a fall. It is important to check the free space under the user's feet depending on the system used.
Before and during use, we recommend that you make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue, should this be required. If a motionless victim
remains suspended in a harness for more than 20 minutes, serious, potentially life-threatening, consequences can result (harness hang syndrome).
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the safety of the user, in the case of exposure to extreme
temperatures (<-30°C or >+50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), to chemical products, electrical constraints, if the fall
protection system becomes twisted when in use, or in the case of sharp edges, friction, cuts, etc.
This equipment must only be used by trained, competent and healthy persons, or under the supervision of a trained and competent person. Warning!
Certain medical conditions may affect user safety; if in doubt, consult your doctor.
Before each use, check: the 360° rotation of the davit mast in the mounting brackets, the articulation of the lifting arm, the tubes (no deformation, no
traces of oxidation), the indexing pin, the safety pins (no deformation or traces of corrosion). The anchoring rings must be properly affixed, and must
be free of deformation and wear. The pulleys must be in good condition, turn freely, and be free of deformities (e.g., sharp edges). Also, check that the
mounting bracket is properly affixed to the receiving structure (floor or wall), and make sure this structure is in good condition, free of deformation
and corrosion.
Refer to the inspection recommendations for each system used in combination with the MULTISAFEWAY.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
Chemical products: do not use the device in the event of contact with chemical products, solvents or fuels that could affect its operation.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Lifting arm and davit mast of the MULTISAFEWAY: Stainless Steel / Accessories for mounting Winch: Stainless
Steel. / Fixing plates: FA 60 022 01, FA 60 022 02: Stainless steel, FA 60 022 11, FA 60 022 12, FA 60 022 13: Galvanized steel.
KRATOS SAFETY certifies that MULTISAFEWAY has been tested in accordance with standard EN 795:2012 Type A.
COMPATIBILITY FOR USE:
The harness must be used as part of a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (EN363) with the goal of guaranteeing that the dynamic force
exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall is no greater than 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body-gripping device that may be used. It
may be dangerous to create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Therefore, it is important
to read the recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
INSPECTION:
The recommended service life of this product is unlimited (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorised by KRATOS
SAFETY), but it may be reduced according to use and/or the results of the annual inspections. The equipment should be inspected if there is any doubt,
or following a fall, and at least annually, by the manufacturer or a competent person* and in strict compliance with the manufacturer's periodic inspection
procedures (and in particular the inspection guides ref. GI XX-XXXXXX-XX) to check its strength and therefore the user's safety. The product data
sheet should be completed (in writing) after each verification. The date of inspection and date of the next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet.
It is also recommended to put the date of the next inspection on the product.
*: refer to the definition of a competent person on our website under: Info/Technical Advice
If the MULTISAFEWAY is used for load lifting, the frequency of the checks is 6 months.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE: (These instructions must be strictly observed)
During transportation, keep the equipment away from any cutting edges and in its packaging. Clean with water, wipe with a cloth and store in a ventilated
room to dry naturally, ensuring that it is away from any direct light or source of heat; the same applies for elements that may have gotten wet during use.
The system must be stored in its packaging in a cool, dry, and ventilated room.
