3. Inspection, points to verify
Your safety is related to the integrity of your equipment.
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once every 12 months
(depending on current regulations in your country, and your conditions of usage). Follow the
procedures described at Petzl.com. Record the results on your PPE inspection form: type,
model, manufacturer contact info, serial number or individual number, dates: manufacture,
purchase, first use, next periodic inspection; problems, comments, inspector's name and
signature.
Before each use
Harness
Check the webbing at the attachment points, at the adjustment buckles and at the safety
stitching. Be particularly careful to check for cut or loose threads.
Look for cuts, wear and damage due to use, to heat, to chemicals... Verify that the
DOUBLEBACK, DOUBLEBACK PLUS and FAST buckles function properly.
Check the fall arrest indicator. The indicator shows red if the dorsal attachment point sustains a
shock-load greater than 400 daN.
Retire the harness if the fall arrest indicator is visible.
Gated ventral attachment point
Verify the absence of any cracks, deformation, corrosion... Verify the screws are present and
securely tightened.
CROLL L
On the product, verify the absence of any cracks, deformation, marks, wear, corrosion...
Check the condition of the frame, the attachment holes, the cam and safety catch, the springs
and the cam axle.
Check the mobility of the cam and the effectiveness of its spring.
Check the cam for clogged teeth.
During use
Regularly verify that the adjustment buckles are securely fastened. It is important to regularly
monitor the condition of the product and its connections to the other equipment in the system.
Make sure that all items of equipment are correctly positioned with respect to each other.
4. Compatibility
Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application
(compatible = good functional interaction).
Equipment used with your harness must meet current standards in your country (e.g. EN 362
connectors).
5. Harness setup
- Be sure to correctly stow the excess webbing (folded flat) in the elastic keepers.
- Beware of foreign objects that could impede the operation of the FAST automatic buckles
(e.g. pebbles, sand, clothing...). Verify that they are correctly fastened (see drawings).
Gated ventral attachment point
This point allows multiple pieces of equipment to be attached: a PODIUM seat on the pin, a
CROLL L rope clamp on the small D, a descender on the large D.
The two screws must be present and securely tightened.
Carefully follow the instructions for assembly and disassembly: see indicative arrows. It is not
necessary to completely remove the screw to free the pin. If you lose a screw, contact Petzl
after-sales service.
Initial adjustment of the dorsal attachment point
Adjust the position of the dorsal attachment point to suit your body shape and size: position it
at the level of the shoulder blades.
Warning: adjustment of the rear leg loop-waistbelt linking straps is important if you use the
dorsal point.
Adjustment and suspension test
Your harness must be adjusted to fit snugly to reduce the risk of injury in case of a fall.
You must move around and hang in the harness from each attachment point, with your
equipment, to verify that the harness fits properly, provides adequate comfort for the intended
use and that it is optimally adjusted.
6. Fall arrest
The sternal and dorsal attachment points must be connected to a fall arrest system that meets
current standards. Only these attachment points are to be used for connecting a fall arrest
system, for example a mobile fall arrester, an energy absorber...
Clearance: amount of free space below the user
The free space below the user must be sufficient to prevent the user from hitting an obstacle in
case of a fall. Specific details on calculating clearance are found in the Instructions for Use of
the other components (energy absorbers, mobile fall arrester...).
7. Positioning
The ventral attachment point and the side attachment points on the waistbelt are designed to
hold the user in position at the work station.
These attachment points are not designed for fall arrest usage.
Always use the two side attachment points together, by linking them with a positioning lanyard,
in order to be comfortably supported by the waistbelt. The lanyard must be kept taut.
8. Rappelling
The ventral attachment point (textile or metal) is designed for rappelling use.
This attachment point is not designed for fall arrest usage.
9. CROLL L ventral rope clamp
The CROLL L is a rope clamp that is used to ascend the work rope. The CROLL L is not a
fall arrest device.
Authorized rope diameter
10-13 mm diameter low stretch kernmantel rope.
Function principle and test
This rope clamp is a device for ascending rope. It slides along the rope in one direction and
locks in the other direction.
The cam's teeth initiate a clamping action that locks the rope by pinching it between the cam
and the frame. The slot in the cam allows mud to clear.
Installing and removing the rope
Pull the safety catch down and lock it on the frame of the device. The cam is thus held open.
Put the rope in the device. Observe the Up/Down indicator. Release the safety catch so that
the cam presses against the rope. In this position the safety catch helps prevent involuntary
opening of the cam.
TECHNICAL NOTICE ASTRO BOD FAST
To remove the rope, slide the device upwards on the rope while operating the safety catch to
disengage the cam.
Rope ascent
Use the CROLL L with another rope clamp (e.g. BASIC) and a foot loop. Always attach yourself
to the second rope clamp with an appropriate lanyard.
Angled traverse situation
Starting on an angled rope: put a leg over the rope to make its angle parallel to the CROLL
L's rope channel.
Short descent
Slide the device slightly up the rope and simultaneously push the cam with your index finger.
Do not manipulate the safety catch because there is a risk of accidentally opening the cam.
Warning: for workers weighing over 100 kg, see the information on Solutions for workers over
100 kg at Petzl.com.
10. Equipment loops
Equipment loops must only be used for equipment.
WARNING - DANGER: never use equipment loops for belaying, rappelling, tying-in, or
anchoring a person.
The Velcro keeper may be used to hold your mobile fall arrester's energy absorber in a high
position.
11. Fall arrest lanyard connector holder
A. To be used only as a connector holder for unused lanyard ends.
B. In case of a fall, the connector holder releases the lanyard-end connector so as to avoid
impeding deployment of the energy absorber.
Warning: this attachment point is not a fall arrest attachment point.
12. Accessories
PODIUM seat and the shackles for PODIUM seat.
