sternal attachment point of an EN 361 full body harness. Before use, adjust the
harness so that it is perfectly snug to the user's body and it must not be loose. At-
tention! The weight of the user, including tools and equipment, must not be greater
than the maximum rated loads marked on the device. Attention! The weight of the
user, excluding tools and equipment, must not be less than the rated loads marked
on the device. Attention! In the event where the harness loosens during the ascent
or the descent, it will have to be adjusted again from a safe position. Attention! It
is absolutely forbidden to lengthen or shorten the integrated lanyard, by adding or
removing a connector for example. It is equally forbidden to replace the lanyard
provided by the manufacture with another type of lanyard.
8.5 - Use. The device enables the ascent or descent of a rigid or flexible anchor
line in complete safety (Fig. 8.1) and without the users intervention. In case of a
fall, the system instantly blocks. During the ascent pay attention to not solicit the
cable with a rearward horizontal load because this could delay the locking cam,
increasing the braking distance of the fall and potentially exposing the user to se-
rious consequences (Fig. 8.2). Attention! The engagement of the release function
of the handling of the device during the ascent of the descent could prevent the
safe operation of the braking mechanism and should only be performed from a
safe position where there is no risk of falling. Attention! Do not use the device for
positioning at work (Fig. 8.3), but if required, use an addition separate system
(Fig. 8.4). Attention! After having extracted and reinserted the metal cable inside
any cable guides present, verify that the cable is correctly inserted inside them.
Attention! In case of damage to the cable guides, where present, they must be
replaced immediately. Attention! Do not use damaged cable guides.
8.6 - Fall clearance distance (Fig. 9). The fall clearance distance is the minimum
distance needed under the feet of the operator in order to avoid the collision
with the structure, the ground, or other obstacles, in case of a fall from a height.
Attention! Before and during each use you must keep into account the indicated
fall clearance distance value. Attention! Should the user be below the indicated
fall clearance distance height, it might happen that he's not protected from falls:
therefore it is suggested to adopt supplementary measures during the climbing
or the descent. Attention! The indicated value has been calculated through the
standard fall tests using a rigid mass of 100 kg.
