1.) Information – read carefully
The manual (1.1 "General instructions", and 1.2 "Product-specific
instructions") must be available in the national language at all
times. If not available, then the vendor has to resolve this matter
with SKYLOTEC prior to sale. The instructions must be made
available to the user. The equipment may only be used by
professional users who are in good condition, both mentally and
physically, who have received training in its safe usage and who
possess the required knowledge, or are acting under the supervision
of such persons. A rescue plan must be available for any eventuality.
It must be possible to implement rescue measures in a timely
manner.
2.) Fall-arrest system
A fall-arrest system consists of the illustrated individual components
and may only be used with tested and approved components under
the described application conditions; failure to comply represents a
risk of serious or fatal injury. Only one harness is allowed to be
used in the fall-arrest system (with fall arresting eyelet marked "A").
Anchoring points should be select / position directly above the user,
if possible. Restrict the falling height to a minimum distance. The
anchor point must meet the requirements for the scope of
application (Abb. 1+2). Also, the substructure to which the
anchoring device is fastened, and the connecting elements have to
be able to withstand the load. A shock absorbing element must be
used which limits the force to which on the user is exposed in the
event of a fall to the maximum arresting force permitted according
to national regulations, for example in Europe this is 6 kN (EN 355).
For more information on this, see the instructions for using of the
individual components.
3.) Prior to use
Prior to each use, it has to be ensured that the clearance beneath
the user is sufficient, so that in case of a fall, there will be no impact
with the ground, objects, or equipment below.
3.1.) Check the complete personal protective equipment (PPE) and
its individual components for damage, cracks or wear (including
snaphooks, straps, textile and metal components, adjusting
devices, locks); complete function must be assured. If unsure the
