USER INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE! Read and understand all the user instructions before using the equipment!
Support system: The support belt (which must be adjusted to sit firmly around the
user's waist) is used in combination with a support line for work positioning and to
prevent falling. The support line must always be anchored above the user's waist and
fully tensioned. The equipment may not be subjected to jerks by falling objects. The
support belt is manufactured of 45 mm wide polyester webbing and has a breaking
strength of at least 22 kN. The belt clasp is available in different designs including:
Snap clasp (Cobra), bayonet clasp and steel belt clasp. The steel belt clasp has
the arrow marking 1 on the inside to show where the strap is threaded through the
clasp and the arrow marking 2 on the front to show where the strap is secured. The
support line is equipped with a steel or aluminium adjustable clasp, to allow the user
to quickly and securely set his position. The support line is attached to the belt and
then to an approved anchor point according to EN-795 or the like to withstand a load
of 15 kN alternatively to the one of the belt's D-rings and around the attachment and
back to the other D-ring (ensure that the hook and adjustable clasp are correctly
anchored in your D-rings before being supported by the line).
Warning! Work at high heights requires the user to be in good health (see EN-
365), to be trained in the use of the equipment and to be aware of the risks. Planning
for the evacuation of persons that have fallen and that may remain hanging from their
equipment must be done before starting work at high heights.
Warning! Before using the product for the first time it should be suitably adapted.
The adaptation is to be made in a safe place to ensure the correct size, that there
is adequate possibility for adjustment and that an acceptable level of comfort is
achieved for the intended work.
Warning! The support equipment must not be modified or converted using
accessories other than those supplied by the manufacturer. Repairs or replacement
of parts may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
Warning! The support equipment is only designed for personal protection, all
other usage is forbidden. If possible the user should have his own personal Support
equipment (see EN-365) Personal Protection equipment).
Warning! When connecting the system in accordance with EN-363:2008, the user
shall be fully conversant with the function and use of other components. In the event
of uncertainty contact your dealer or the manufacturer.
Before each use: Carefully make an ocular inspection of the material and function
and ensure that the equipment works. Pay attention to the possibility of webbing
breakage, damaged seams, cuts, discoloration, damaged hooks and snap hooks.
Warning! The product must be replaced immediately if faults are discovered on the
equipment that are considered to reduce safety. In the event of uncertainty contact
the dealer or the manufacturer for an inspection.
Warning! The product must be discarded and replaced immediately if a fall has
occurred when using the equipment.
Warning! With the connection of the support system, the anchor point must be
approved according to EN-795 or the equivalent to withstand a load of 15 kN. The
support line must be anchored above the user's waist and fully tensioned. The
support line is adjusted so that freedom of movement is restricted to 0.6 m.
NB Make a habit of regularly checking the buckles and their correct adjustment while
in use (EN 358).
Warning! Lowest ultimate load on the equipment is 15 kN.
NOTE! The fall protection's material or its function may be affected if subjected to:
extremely high temperatures, chemicals, electrical current, grinding, cutting, wear
against sharp objects and the affects of the weather.
NOTE! The equipment must be stored in a dry, dark and well-ventilated space.
Lanyards are to be hung in gentle bights. Appropriate bags and/or transport boxes
are to be used when transporting the equipment.

be kept clean for the best function and durability. Metal parts can be blown clean
with compressed air. Avoid lubricating oil! Slightly soiled equipment can be washed
in tepid water with a soft brush. A mild soap solution can be used. Heavily soiled
equipment can be machine washed in a wash bag with a phosphate-free washing
detergent using a 40° programme. Wet equipment should be hung up to dry. The
equipment shall dry by itself without being exposed to open flames or other heat
sources.
