3. ANCHOR POINTS

The anchor point to which the equipment is attached must comply with the current requirements
of the respective country. The anchor point must keep strengths according to the EN 795.
Safe anchor points include, unquestionably sound structures, strengthened ladder rungs and
approved anchor points. Anchoring to non strengthened ladder rungs, window frames or heating
pipes is not allowed.
The load capability and location of the anchor point are essential for the safe operation of the
rescue device. The location should be chosen in the way that the rope is not touching any sharp
edges or items nor running along rough wall surfaces. If there is no sufficient distance between
rope and wall, a suitable rope guard has to be used. The device is fixed only at the suspension eye.
If the device is equipped with a fixing adapter, this adapter is only a help support and connected
to the device by a rated break point. (Additional fixation at an anchor point is obligatory!)
The use of adapters and accessories,
which are not original
SKYLOTEC-accessory,
is prohibited.
