2030040F - 2030074F or "Goblin Rope Lanyard" Art.213901 - 213902 (fig.4b). Do not use other types of lanyards and/or
energy absorbers.
The structural anchor point which the rope connects to must be placed above the working area and must have a minimum
resistance of 15 kN in compliance with standard EN 795. Never ascend above the anchor and avoid creating any slack on
the rope (fig.5). Fixing or tensioning the rope is not necessary but, to improve sliding, application of a light weight at the
bottom of the rope is useful (< 5 kg).
The device can be used on inclined surfaces. In this case check correct sliding of the device on the rope ahead of time. In
case of slightly inclined surfaces the device can be moved manually.
The rope must not shift laterally, otherwise take appropriate precautions to prevent dangerous pendulum effects.
A minimum clearance distance under the user's feet must be considered as specified in the instructions below. Below this
clearance distance, the user must take particular care because he may not be completely protected in the event of a fall.
At each use check that the length of the rope used is sufficient and that the free end is knotted or slotted in order to prevent
the device from accidentally coming out of the safety line.
The maximum weight of the user, including the equipment, is 100/120 kg for single use and 200 kg for double use in
rescue (see chart A-B).
High or low temperatures, humidity, rain, ice, oil or dust can negatively impact the performance of the device and the ropes
combined with it.
Use adequate rescue equipment and provide adequate training for the work crew so that they can act quickly in the event of a fall.
Main materials of the device: aluminium allow, stainless steel. Main material of the anchor lines to be used: polyamide.
For installation of a drop proof cord see Fig. 14 (only for expert users).
For the use of the Rope Surfer, accessory guide part to improve sliding, see fig.15.
EN 12841:2006 Type A use
For this use the button [8] must be placed in position 2
For use of the "Goblin" as a fall-arrester device for the safety line while working on a rope, the device must be combined
exclusively with semi-static EN 1891 Type A ropes with nominal diameter between 10 and 11 mm.
Always connect to an attachment point for fall arrest (A) of an EN 361 full body harness. The connection can be made with
a connector (fig.6a) or using "Webbing Lanyard" connection sling Art. 2030026F - 2030040F - 2030074F or "Goblin Rope
Lanyard" Art.213901 - 213902 (fig.6b). Do not connect the device to the attachment points for suspension or for work
positioning of an EN 813/EN 358 harness.
During movement the device slides freely on the rope, following the operator's movements. In case of an extended stay at
the same work point, the device can be taken to a position higher than the operator and then lock it, placing the button [8]
in position 1 (fig.7).
If the safety line is used to suspend the operator, it becomes, for all intents and purposes, a work line and therefore an
additional safety line must be used for optimum safety of the worker.
