INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
The Triskelion and associated hardware must always
be tethered to prevent it from falling over edges.
2.
The Triskelion may become unstable or topple if used
without an assessment of the resultant force and
direction. Additional rigging may be required to ensure
complete stabilization.
3.
Ensure the User is in good physical and mental health,
and is trained and competent in the use of the Triskelion.
The User should have all relevant PPE for the job prior
to starting any work at height. PPE may include, but
is not limited to, a harness, shock-absorbing lanyard,
helmet, gloves and appropriate footwear.
4.
A rescue plan is mandatory when working at height or
with the rescue plan and their roles.
5.
Do not modify or tamper with the Triskelion in any way.
Doing so will void the Warranty.
6.
The Triskelion may only be repaired or serviced by
CMC or a trained, authorized Service Agent.
7.
When the Triskelion is used as part of a fall arrest
system, the User must be equipped with a means
of limiting the maximum dynamic forces exerted to
themselves during the arrest of a fall to a maximum of
6kN (1350 lbf).
8.
A shock-absorbing lanyard assembly should be
secured to an anchorage point which is at a level that
will result in the minimum free fall and the least total fall
distance consistent with the wearer's ability to carry out
work tasks.
9.
When making a connection to any point on a harness
which cannot be seen by the wearer of the harness, the
connection should either be made before putting the
harness on, or it should be connected or checked for
security by a competent person.
10. To avoid a pendulum effect during a fall, the maximum
angle from the anchor point at the top of the Triskelion
must not exceed 15° either side of the center of the
anchor point.
11. For safety, the Triskelion should be carried and set up
by two or more people.
12. If any part of an assembly is to be exposed to chemicals
such as caustic materials or hazardous atmospheres,
the User should consult CMC or the manufacturer to
determine whether the part is suitable for continued
use.
WARNING
•
The User assumes all responsibility for any non-
standard use of the device or the components
being used with the device.
•
Danger may arise and functionality may be
compromised by combining other items of
equipment in conjunction with the Triskelion during
use.
•
Do not use the Triskelion if any parts are missing
or have not been properly maintained.
NOTICE
Operating in, or exposing the Triskelion to extreme
temperatures, caustic chemicals, hazardous
environments or excessively rough handling or
treatment may cause damage to the device.
COMPATIBLE PRODUCTS
The use of the Triskelion is limited to combinations of
approved and registered components only. Examples
include:
1.
standards.
2.
Approved and tested components by CMC.
Other combinations and components not meeting these
standards should not be used as they may compromise
the safe operation of the system.
Further information regarding portable anchors can be
found in NFPA 1500, NFPA 1858 and NFPA 1983.
