for use for each component of the system. In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual. The documentation
supplied with each product must be kept indefinitely by the user. ■This adjustable lanyard is a work positioning system. WARNINGS:
THE ADJUSTABLE LANYARD IS NOT A GRIP BODY DEVICE, ONLY THE HARNESS IS RESERVED FOR THIS FUNCTION (EN361).
THE ADJUSTABLE LANYARD MUST NOT BE USED FOR THE PREVENTION NOR FOR THE ARREST OF FALLS. In case of a fall
risk, it is necessary to supplement this system with a collective or personal restraint or protection device against falls from a height
(EN363). The adjustable lanyard can not be used connected to a work support belt (EN358) by connectors (EN362).
When using a work positioning system, the user normally relies on the equipment for support. Therefore it is essential to consider the
need of a fall arrest system. The equipment should not be used if there is a foreseeable risk of the user becoming suspended or being
exposed to unintended tension by the belt. In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual. / ➪ DONNING AND/
OR ADJUSTMENTS: This PPE can only be used by one person at a time. ➪■ EX118 : see diagrams. ③ ④ : Connect the connector
of the tensioner to the right side anchor (left for left handed users) of the work support belt. ⑤ : Place the rope around the work structure,
connect the rope connector to the about to left side anchor (right for left handed users) of the work support belt. ⑥ : Adjust the length
and tension so as to keep the lanyard tight. ⑦ : To lengthen the rope grab the rope with your left hand (right for the left handed) at a
point between the tensioner and the work structure. Catch the tensioner wheel with your right hand (left for the left handed) and pull.
Slightly tighten the rope by a controlled deflection of the user's body until it lengthens. Release the wheel to lock the rope in the tensioner
⑧ : To shorten the rope: to release the rope, pull the free end of the rope with the right hand (left for the left handed), in the

direction of the work structure by tilting the body of the user in the direction of the work structure (3A). When the setting is set reached,
release the end of the rope and move back into position so that the rope hangs again. ➪■ EX021 : Connect via a connector (EN362)
the end loop of the rope to the right side attachment point of the work support belt, place the rope around the work structure, connected
by a connector (EN362) the loop made for the adjustment on the left side attachment point of the work support belt. Adjust the length
and tension so as to keep the lanyard tight. WARNING ! (see diagrams) ⑨ : DO NOT connect the two connectors at the same belt

of the two connectors to the rope itself.
and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh chemicals, fire, hot metal, all types of electrical conductors... During operation, regularly
check the closing and adjustment and/ or fastening elements. May provide a protective sheath. For safety reasons and before each
use, check: that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked / that the operating instructions described for each component of the
system are met / that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in
the case of a fall. / that the vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal
functioning of the fall arrest system.
deflection of the anchorage device. - The maximum deflection of the carabiners. - The elongation of the linking system. - The maximum
stretch of the body supporting device. - The anchorage location relative to where the user is when a fall occurs. - The height of the user.
Additionally, a safety distance of 1 m is added to obtain the vertical clearance value.
recommendations for use for each component of the system. Ensure that proper fall clearance exists in order to prevent striking ground
or other objects in the event of a fall.
WARNING ! It is essential for your safety that work is carried out in a manner so as to minimize the risk of falls as well as the height of
the fall. ■ TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS (See reference table) :
and lanyards for work positioning are designed for restraint, work positioning and personal prevention against falls from heights. The
use of these PPE is reserved for competent persons who have received appropriate training or who are operating under the immediate
responsibility of a competent supervisor, therefore the misuses is reduced to a minimum. EX021: EX021 : ③ Connect via a connector
(EN362) the end loop of the rope to the right side attachment point of the work support belt, place the rope around the work structure,
connected by a connector (EN362) the loop made for the adjustment on the left side attachment point of the work support belt. DO NOT
connect the two connectors at the same belt buckle. DO NOT connect the two adjustable lanyard connectors to the anchor point of the
work structure. DO NOT attach one of the two connectors to the rope itself. see diagrams.
Usage limits: ▪SHELF LIFE : Textile products or those containing textile elements (harnesses, belts, shock absorbers etc...): maximum
life of 10 years in storage (from date of manufacture), 7 years after the first use. Metal products and mechanical products (self retracting
fall arrest device, sliding, work on ropes, anchors etc. ...) : Maximum duration of 20 years from the date of manufacture (including storage
and use). The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly: -Non-compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use /-"Aggressive" work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme
temperatures, sharp edges... /-Particularly intensive use /-Shock or significant constraint /-Disregard for the product item's history.
Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye. Warning: certain extreme conditions can shorten the shelf life by
a few days. If in doubt, always remove the product for it to undergo either: - a review /- destruction. The shelf life is not a substitute for
periodic verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product.
CENTRE, VISIT WWW.DELTAPLUS.EU. No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent
from the manufacturer nor without using their procedures. Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual.
Do not use this equipment beyond its limits. To ensure its working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product must be
checked systematically: ▪ 1 / visually inspect the following points: State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage
at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing. / Condition of seams and fasteners: no visible damage . / Condition of the metal parts:
no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation. / General condition: look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and
other climatic conditions /
humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc..., can significantly reduce the operation of the fall
arrest device. ▪ 2 / in the following cases: Before and during use / if in doubt / In the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels
that could affect operation. / If it has been subjected to stress during a previous fall. / At least every twelve months by the manufacturer
or a competent organization, mandated by them. ▪ PERIODIC REVIEW of PPE: An examination must be performed at least every twelve
months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by them. This very important check is related to the maintenance
and efficacy of the PPE and hence the user's safety. A written document authorising reuse should be obtained during this audit in order
to reuse the PPE. This document will clarify that the user's safety is linked to maintaining the efficiency and resistance of the equipment.
Replace the PPE if necessary. In accordance with European regulations, the identification form must be completed prior to the first use
of the product and then updated and kept with the product as well as the manual by the user. The readability of the product labelling
must be checked periodically.
