of supporting any foreseeable loading in cluding
that in an emergency contingency. Prior to using
it have the anchor device checked by a
competent person. The product can be used as
a belay for the rescuer after a single fall –
this must only be done if a suitable structural
anchor (tree / branch) is chosen. (After all, in
the type examination, dynamic loading was
tested twice without making any readjustments
of or other corrections to the anchor device.)The
structural anchor (tree / branch) must withstand
more than 12 kN.
Always attune the length of the anchor device to

the object it is looped around. The used length of
the rope shall be at least three times the length
of the circumference of the object to be enlooped
so that the rope will be positioned in the direction
of pull. The used length can be adjusted with the
friction hitch. Always check whether the hitch is
properly dressed and whether it grips reliably.
Only use the two thimbles for attachment and
never use the end marked red as it is only
designed as a stopper for the friction hitch.
A work positioning system must always be

maintained as taut as possible from the anchor
point to the belayed person (avoid rope slack).
WARNING:

When working with fall arrest note that
- an energy absorber according to EN 355 is
needed that reduces dynamic forces to max.
6 kN.
- the lanyard including fall arrest systems and
connection elements must not exceed 2 m.
- a clearance of 7m underneath the user is
needed to avoid ground impact.
MODES OF USE
fig. 1
Later retrieval of the system must be taken into
consideration upon installation! During installation,
keep in mind that the shape and size of the throw
bag and its attachments (e.g. rings) prevent it from
being pulled into the thimble and getting stuck in it.
fig. 2
The thimble mounted in the OP Loop 8mm Tn
(fImblSAVER - fig. 4) and in the OD Loop 7mm
T (fImblCLIMB - fig 5.) serves as a retrieval aid.
Because of the difference in design as compared to
the terminal thimble, the cone will get caught in this
thimble when the climbing rope is pulled out. Before
that, the cone can be pulled through the thimble at
the end.
NOTE: Use the yellow Cone-S for fImblCLIMB and
the red Cone-L for fImblSAVER.
