3. Operation
Verification before use (figure 3):
• Before each use, check that the anchoring de-
vice appears to be in good condition, with no
marks, evidence of impact, or deformation. If
this is not so, do not use the device; inform the
user.
• Verify that the fall-arrest system connector
is compatible with the diameter (fig. 4, lbl. E)
of the anchor ring (fig. 1, lbl. 1) and that the
connector opening is compatible with the at-
tachment cross-section (fig. 4, lbl. G) of the
anchoring device.
"DANGER": For the operator's safety, it is
essential that the connector is correctly
locked from the moment it is attached to
the anchoring device.
• After installation, verify that the connector(s) of
the fall-arrest system(s) naturally align(s) with
the direction in which the operator may fall, with
no risk that a connector might become stuck or
interfere with (e.g. wrap around) the anchoring
device (fig. 1, lbl. 3) and/or the elements affix-
ing said device to the host structure (figs. 2 and
3, lbl. 9, 10).
• Check the condition of the fall-arrest system
components. Refer to the specific manuals for
each equipment item.
• Check the complete fall-arrest system.
• Before using an anchoring device such as a
travsafe ringsafe, check that the fall indicator
TM
(fig. 1, lbl. 5) is not broken.
• When using a travsafe™ PO-type anchoring
device, check that this device is correctly tight-
ened onto the steel plate.
• Verify that the anchoring device has undergone
a routine inspection within the last year. (Fig,
3, lbl. 19).

4. Functions and description

A Tractel fall-prevention anchoring device
®
comprises: (fig. 1)
• An anchor ring (fig. 1, lbl. 1).
• An attachment surface (fig. 1, lbl. 2).
• A body to clip to (fig. 1, lbl. 3).
• One or two holes, or a threaded attachment
rod, depending on the device type (fig. 1, lbl. 4).
• A label indicating the date on which the next
inspection is due (Fig 3, lbl. 19).
• The current manual of installation, usage and
maintenance.
• A warning plate or label (Fig. 3, lbl. 18, 20).
Specific to the travflex
• A shoulder washer for attachment to the plate
(fig. 1, lbl. 6).
• A nyloc nut (fig. 1, lbl. 7).
• A marking label (fig. 1, lbl. 17).
Specific to travsafe
TM
• A fall indicator (fig. 1, lbl. 5).
Specific to travsafe
TM
• A marking label (fig. 1, lbl. 17).
Recommendations for use (figure 1):
• The Tractel fall-prevention anchoring device
®
must only be used for protecting the opera-
tor(s) against falls when working at heights.
• The Tractel fall-prevention anchoring device
®
must only be used in line with the specifications
for installing the appropriate connector for the
recommended fall-arrest system (Figure 5).
• The operator must contain movement to a
swing space of 20° to the vertical of the an-
choring device.
• The working load limit for the Tractel
vention anchoring device is 150 kg per operator.
Depending on the type, the anchoring device
may be used by a single operator or by two
simultaneously (see Technical Specifications).
It is vital to ensure before use that all the com-
ponents of the fall-arrest system are compatible
with this maximum load, by referring to their
ringflex:
