The PEANUT, used in combination with a safety harness, is
intended solely to protect persons who are at risk of falling (e.g.
off ladders, roofs, scaffolding, etc.) while carrying out their work.
Function:
The PEANUT limits the energy generated during a fall to an
amount that can be withstood by the body (less than 6kN).
Once used to arrest an actual fall, the PEANUT must be
removed from service and destroyed! The annual inspection
has to be performed by a competent person according to BGG
906 (i.e. country regulations for ppe inspection). Attaching the
PEANUT (see Fig. 1):
1. Hook fastening element (1) exclusively in fall arrest eyelet
of the safety harness. 2. Attach opposite fastening element (2)
to a secure anchor point. Ensure that the PEANUT (3) is not
impeded and that it does not run over edges or around bends.
Safety karabiners and/or fastening elements must always be
protected from lateral and bending pressures. The PEANUT
lanyard/s shall not be used in a ‚Tie Back' manner.
2.1) Usage okay
2.2) Proceed with caution during usage
2.3) Danger to life
3.) Use in Elevating work platforms
3.1) The Peanut range is suitable for use in Elevating Work
Platforms
(EWP). Use only anchor points with the appropriate strength &
compatibility and labelled as such (at least 3 kN) that are
mounted at least 40 cm below the handrail. When using higher
anchor points a safe operation is no longer guaranteed.
3.2) The anchor point, and the entire platform extended in the
unfavorable case must be able to accommodate a dynamic
surge. User weight < 100kg: 3kN - max. 6kN. User weight <
135kg : max. 6kN. If the AP is higher, there is danger to full
failure and upset!
3.3) Violations by the impact on the working cage or the boom
can not be excluded. Use in scaffolding:
The 2,5 m version is for use in scaffolding only. The anchor
point needs to be 1 m above the working level.
4.) Use
4.1) Before using the device, a functional test must be
performed. First inspect the unit including the full length of the
retractable lanyard/s
ensuring the lanyard/s pull out & retract smoothly. To check
the locking action pull sharply on the line two to three times to
ensure the device is locking. If any faults are evident the device
