User requirements
Um Personen an ihren Arbeitsplätzen vor einem mögli-
chen Absturz zu schützen ist das HSS-Schienensystem
entwickelt worden. Bei einem Absturz werden die Be-
lastungen für den Benutzer auf einen aus medizinischer
Sicht akzeptablen Wert (6 kN) reduziert. Nur Personen
die mit dieser Gebrauchsanleitung vertraut und körperlich
gesund sind, dürfen das System benutzten.
Das System sollte nicht von Kindern, schwangeren Frau-
en oder unter Einfluss von Drogen (Medikamenten, Alko-
hol etc.) verwendet werden. Bei Zweifel an dem körper-
lichen Zustand, sollte vor Benutzung ein Arzt aufgesucht
werden.
Application
The HSS rail system has been developed to provide the great-
est possible freedom of movement for the user. When in use,
the runner securing the user slides over the rail without having
to be reattached at intermediate brackets and curves.
In certain situations, the user may feel the need to hold on to the
rail in the interest of safety. Although this is permissible, the user
should avoid applying too much force, as otherwise this may
cause deformation of the load-bearing brackets. The brackets
have been specifically designed so as to become deformed in
order to protect the construction and the user from excessive
forces under load (in the event of a fall).
Each HSS includes two "Equipment Sets".
Each of these cases contains the equipment
needed to secure one person.
