Before the equipment is put into operation, the instruction manual must be read and understood in its
entirety
The technical data and the associated instruction manual (enclosed) for the IKAR HRA fall arrest device with

2. Safety instructions

1.
This stop device has been tested and approved to secure one person against falling and for rescue in accord-
ance with EN 795:2012-10 Type B and to secure three persons against falling and for rescue in accordance
with CEN/TS 16415:2013-04 . If used in combination with the following additionally required equipment: Safety
harnesses compliant with EN 361, IKAR fall arrest devices compliant with EN 360, IKAR HRA fall arrest de-
vices with rescue-lifting equipment compliant with EN 360/EN 1496, it must be ensured that the force exerted
on the user as the fall is arrested is limited to a maximum of 6 kN. The anchorage equipment and fall arrest
devices must only be used for their original intended purpose.
N.B.: The IKAR HRA fall arrest device with rescue-lifting equipment is not included in the scope of delivery.
2.
Non-compliance with the instruction manual may result in life-threatening injuries. In the event of a fall, it must
be ensured that the affected person is not left suspended for more than 15 minutes (risk of shock).
3.
A rescue plan that takes into account all potential emergencies in work-related scenarios must be in place.
4.
The anchorage equipment must only be used by persons who have received the corresponding training
and who hold the respective expertise. Any factors that could impair an individual's physical health must be
eliminated (e.g. alcohol, drugs, medications or circulatory problems)
5.
An IKAR HRA fall arrest device with rescue-lifting equipment can only be used to secure one person at a time,
but may be used by multiple persons one after another.
6.
For safety reasons, it is essential that the IKAR DB-AR rescue tripod is set up vertically on a stable footing.
Caution: Never use the rescue tripod on oily or otherwise slippery surfaces!
7.
The device should be positioned as plumb as possible over the head of the person to be secured in order to
prevent swinging movements as the person is lowered. The type of use should be selected so as to reduce the
risk of a free-fall and to limit the fall height to a minimum. After securing the IKAR HRA fall arrest device in the
mounting bracket on the IKAR rescue tripod and placing the retractable fastener in the deflection roller, the end
(karabiner hook) should be attached to the fall arrest eyelet of the safety harness. Make sure that the karabiner
hook works correctly. The safety of the person at work is duly protected.
8.
The product label must be checked for legibility and a visual inspection performed for obvious defects on the
anchorage device and its mounted parts prior to every use (according to the list on page 2).
9.
If a piece of equipment is damaged or strained by a fall, or there are any doubts as to whether the piece of
equipment is in a safe condition, it must be withdrawn from use immediately! It may only be used again further
to its inspection and written approval by an expert.
10.
Depending on the degree of use, but as a minimum once every twelve months, the anchorage device, i.e. the
IKAR rescue tripod and the optional fall arrest device must be inspected by the manufacturer or by persons
who have been trained and authorised by the manufacturer. This inspection must be documented in the test
books also supplied. The effectiveness and durability of the IKAR rescue tripod and the optional IKAR fall
arrest device depend on regular testing.
11.
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
12.
Compliance with DGUV Regulations 112-198 and 112-199 is mandatory.
13.
The permissible load on the anchorage device complies with EN 795:2012 for the protection and rescue of one
person and CEN/TS 16415:2013-04 for the protection and rescue of a maximum of three persons.
14.
The IKAR DB-AR rescue tripod and the optional IKAR fall arrest device should be protected from the effects
of welding flames and sparks, fire, acids, lyes and from extreme temperatures and corrosive environmental
influences. During transportation, the rescue tripod must be protected from damage resulting from impacts.
15.
At least two people are needed to transport the IKAR DB-AR rescue tripod.
16.
Modifications or enhancements must not be made to the device, otherwise life-threatening injuries may result.
