Technical Data; Verification Procedure - KRATOS SAFETY Olympe Notice

GB
This guide must be translated by the dealer into the language of the country of use (except if the translation is provided by the manufacturer).
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 cable/webbing is kept taut by means of a return spring. In the
event of a fall, a system locks the cable and prevents it unwinding, thus stopping the fall instantly.
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.
The upper swivel is linked to an anchor point by a connector (EN362) and the other end (cable or strap) is attached onto a safety point on a harness.
Sharp edges, small diameter structures and corrosion should be avoided as they may affect the performance of the cable or strap; or they should be
adequately protected.
The device's anchoring point must be positioned above the user) and must comply with standard EN795 (R>12kN - EN795:2012). 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 strap.
The minimum free space should be: 3 m under the user's feet.*
* 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, ...).
HORIZONTAL USE IS FORBIDDEN
Use the product between: -30°C / 50°C.
It is advisable not to suddenly let go of the wire rope when the wire rope is unwound; it is better to assist with the rewinding process.
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.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (<
-30°C or > 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system
during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Before using, always check that the locking system is in working order and that the fall indicator is not triggered (if there is one on the connector). Check
that the cable/webbing is not cut, frayed or burnt. Check that the metal parts are not deformed or oxidized, and check that the connectors are working
properly (locking/opening). The protective casings must be in place and undamaged. Product markings must remain legible. If there is any doubt as to
the condition of the device, or after a fall, it must not be reused (marking it with the words "DO NOT USE" is recommended) and must be returned to
the manufacturer or to a qualified person appointed by the manufacturer.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
Chemical products: put the system out of use if it is exposed to chemical products, solvents or fuels which could affect its working.

TECHNICAL DATA:

Cable diameter: 4,5 mm - Material: galvanized steel – breaking point > 12 kN
Webbing: 25 mm – Material: polyester – breaking point > 15 kN.
COMPATIBILITY FOR USE:
The equipment should be used with a fall arrest system as specified in the data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted
on the user during the arrest of a fall is maxi 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.

VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:

The equipment has a service life of 10 years, but this duration may increase or decrease depending on how it is used and/or the results of annual checks.
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.
*: refer to the definition of a competent person on our website under: Info/Technical Advice
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.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE: (Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the product in its packaging, well away from any cutting surface; clean it with water, wipe it with a rag and hang it up in a well-
ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the same procedure for components that have become damp
during use. The system must be stored in its packaging in a dry, ventilated place protected from extremes of temperature.
