Usage Limits - Deltaplus EX118200A Notice D'utilisation Et D'entretien

EX021: ③
Connect via a connector (EN362) the end loop of the rope to the right side attachment point of the work support belt, place the rope
around the work structure, connected by a connector (EN362) the loop made for the adjustment on the left side attachment point of the
work support belt.
Adjust the length and tension of the rope with the metallic tensioner loop so as to provide a stable working position and limit free
movement up to a maximum of 0.6 m. The adjustment is completed, check that any fall is limited to 0.5 m.
DO NOT connect the two connectors at the same belt buckle ⑨ DO NOT connect the two adjustable lanyard connectors to the anchor
point of the work structure ⑩ DO NOT attach one of the two connectors to the rope itself ⑪ see diagrams.
During use, the overall system must not be in contact with:
cutting elements, sharp edges and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh chemicals, fire, hot metal, all types of electrical conductors...
During operation, regularly check the closing and adjustment and/ or fastening elements.
May provide a protective sheath.
For safety reasons and before each use, check:
- that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked ①
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met - that the general disposition of the work situation
reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in the case of a fall.
- The vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal functioning of the fall
arrest system.
The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from the initial position to
the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest). (See reference table).
Provide a safe distance from power lines or areas with an electrical hazard.

USAGE LIMITS:

Metal products and mechanical products (self retracting fall arrest device, sliding, work on ropes, anchors etc. ...) : Maximum duration of
20 years from the date of manufacture (including storage and use).
Textile products or those containing textile elements (harnesses, belts, shock absorbers etc...): maximum life of 10 years in storage (from
date of manufacture), 7 years after the first use.
The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly:
- Non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use
- "Aggressive" work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges...
- Particularly intensive use
- Shock or significant constraint
- Disregard for the product item's history
Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye. Warning: certain extreme conditions can shorten the shelf life by a
few days.
If in doubt, always remove the product for it to undergo either: - a review - destruction The shelf life is not a substitute for periodic
verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product.

No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer nor without using their
procedures.
Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this
manual.
Do not use this equipment beyond its limits.
To ensure its working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product should be checked systematically:
1 / visually inspect the following points:
- State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing
- Condition of the metal parts: no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation
- General condition: look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and other climatic conditions
- Correct operation and locking of connectors and mechanical components
Specific conditions such as humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc.. can significantly reduce
the operation of the fall arrest device.
2 / in the following cases:
- Before and during use - if in doubt
- In the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect operation
- If it has been subjected to stress during a previous fall
