See Installation and Use on page 6
and Risk Statement below.

APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS

Meets or exceeds:
ƒ EN360:2002
RISK STATEMENT
The device is designed to protect against falls from height
and reduce peak forces generated during a fall below 6kN,
when used in accordance with this manual.
FOR ALL PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
ƒ Maximum user weight (including all clothing, tools, and
equipment) is: 150kg.
ƒ Anchorage point in PFAS must be rated to
withstand minimum 12kN load and be
EN 795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000 approved.
The job site Competent Person (CP) must ensure that there
are sufficiently strong and accessible anchorage points in
the working environment. Anchorages should be overhead
when possible and the area beneath and around them
should be clear of obstruction and sharp edges. Always
attach to an anchorage that is as close to the point of work
and as high above head as possible without restricting free
movement. The user should be aware at all times of which
attachment points to use; if not immediate obvious they
must seek confirmation from the CP. Always ensure that
the means of attachment to the anchorage is secure before
beginning work.

COMPATIBILITY

When making connections with RTFA, eliminate all possibility
of roll-out. Roll-out occurs when interference between a
hook and the attachment point causes the hook gate to
unintentionally open and release. All connections must
be selected and deemed compatible with this RTFA. All
connectors must be EN362:2004 approved.
See Diagram B on page 8.
This RTFA is recommended for use with the following
products:
ƒ Anchorage EN795:2012 or 1997+A1:2000 compliant
systems.
ƒ WARNING! Not to be used when anchored to
any class C or D anchor devices, unless written
verification has been obtained from Cresto.
ƒ Harness EN361:2002 compliant harnesses.
ƒ WARNING! If the user weighs between 100-150kg
ensure all PPE equipment in the PFAS for use in fall
arrest, restraint or work positioning is rated to the
increased maximum user weight up to 150kg, for the
applicable standards as listed above.
Please contact Cresto with any questions regarding product
compatibility.
COMPETENT PERSON DEFINITION
The job site safety supervisor, referred to in this manual as
the Competent Person (CP), must be a highly trained and
experienced person who is assigned by the employer to
be responsible for all elements of the fall safety program;
this includes, but is not limited to, program regulation,
management, and application. The CP must be proficient
in identifying existing and predictable fall hazards, and
must have the authority to stop work to eliminate hazards
or otherwise promote safe and compliant work practices.
