instructions for use
1.1 Notes for safe usage
1. The BITO-FallPROtect anchor device has been tested and authorised for use to protect 1 person. It consists of 3 components:
BITO-easyHOOK, twist-lock carabiner and rack strut.
2. The user must be trained in the safe use of the product, have read and understood the use and assembly instructions, and not have any
physical conditions which could influence the user's safety (e.g. circulatory problems, medication, etc.)
3. There is a danger of death if these instructions are not followed. In case of a fall, the user must not be left hanging in the harness for more
than 15 minutes, otherwise there is a risk of acute shock.
4. In case of an emergency when using this equipment, a rescue plan must be in place taking into account all possible emergencies.
5. The inspection log supplied with this equipment should be fully filled by a specialist at first use and kept with the equipment for the entirety
of its service life.
6. Before use, all components must be visually inspected for damage as a result of mechanical, chemical or thermal effects. If there are any
doubts about the safety of the equipment's condition, it must be inspected by a specialist or by the manufacturer.
7. Damaged components, or those used as the result of a fall, must be removed after use. Changes or repairs must only be made by the
manufacturer.
8. The equipment must be protected against contact with oils, acids, alkalis, solvents, open flames, liquid metal drops and sharp edges
during use.
9. The equipment may only be used for its intended purpose, and not as an anchor point for load lifting or lowering equipment.
10. The anchor point to be used (the rack strut) must have sufficient carrying capacity and be able to withstand a load of at least 9 kN in line
with BS (I.S.) EN 795.
11. If the equipment is resold in another country, the reseller must include these instructions, with all details provided in the language of the
country in question.
12. No changes or additions may be made to the equipment without prior written authorisation from the manufacturer.
1.2 Technical safety requirements for catching systems and assembly
1. If you are using additional personal protective equipment to protect against falling, ensure that this equipment is compatible. Follow all
instructions given for this additional equipment.
2. A catching system may only use a body harness complying with BS (I.S.) EN 361, and there must always be a shock-absorbing element
(fall arrester, company: IKAR, type: HWB 1.8 DW) to limit the high-impact forces involved with the catching system to a maximum of 4.5 kN
(including safety margin).
3. The anchor point should be positioned as high as possible and as close as possible to vertically above the user's work position (ideally
over the head or below the beam) in order to limit the fall height to a minimum and prevent pendular movement in case of a fall.
4. The anchor device must only be used together with the fall arresters manufactured by IKAR (Type: HWB 1.8 DW).
5. Always ensure there is sufficient open space in the work area below the user to prevent them landing on the ground or another obstruction.
In unfavourable conditions (anchor point at standing height). Extension or combination with other anchor devices is not permitted. 2 connec-
tors must never be used with the same shock absorber.
