Usage Limits; Periodic Review Of Ppe; Storage Instructions - Deltaplus LV504A Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING:
The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the
instructions in this manual. WARNING: Any static or dynamic overload may damage the PPE. The device may only be used
by one person at a time. (see. Figure ⑤). The weight of the user, including his clothing and equipment, must not exceed
the maximum weight per person (100kg according to fall arrest standards)
WARNING:
It is dangerous to create your own fall arrest system as each safety function may interfere with another safety function. 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.
WARNING:
Should the anchoring device be used solely for personal protective equipment against falls and not for lifting equipment.
When the anchor is used as part of a fall arrest system, the user must be equipped with means for limiting the maximum
dynamic forces exerted on the user during a fall arrest, to a maximum of 6 kN. The maximum load likely to be transmitted
into service by the anchor device to the structure is of 12kN as for example an energy absorber and the relevant load
directions for the type of attachment and structure are observed. (See reference table ①).

USAGE LIMITS:

Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the
operation.
SHELF LIFE :
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.

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 should be checked systematically:
1/ visually inspect the following points:
- 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
- Condition of the anchorage device: in accordance with installation instructions and recommendations
- Condition of fasteners: tightening torques (kN) observed
- 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.
- Correct operation and locking of connectors (EN362).
Specific conditions such as 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 should 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 legibility of the product
labelling should be checked periodically.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

During transport and storage:
- keep the product in its packaging
- keep the product away from any sharp, abrasive, objects etc...
- keep the product away from sunlight, heat, flames, hot metal, oil, petroleum products, harsh chemicals, acids, dyes,
solvents, sharp edges and structures of small diameter. These items can affect the performance of the fall arrest device.
After use, store the product in its packaging in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
