GB
14. Fall arrest blocks must not be used for securing persons working above bulk goods or
similar substances where people can sink in (Fig. 9).
15. As necessary, but at least every 12 months, fall arrest blocks with recovery
mechanism must be inspected by the manufacturer or by persons trained and
authorised by the manufacturer (Fig. 10). This must be documented in the inspection
log book supplied with the product. The effectiveness and durability of the fall arrest
block depends on regular inspection.
16. Observe BGR 198 (fall and BGR 199 (rescue operation)).
17. With the fall arrest block above the user, the clear height below the user must be 2.4
m.
18. The IKAR fall arrest block with recovery mechanism can be used in a temperature
range from -30° C to +50° C in accordance with EN 360 (Fig. 12).
19. The rated load is 136 kg (Fig. 13).
20. Fall arrest blocks with recovery mechanisms must be protected from the effects of
welding flames and sparks, fire, acids, lyes, solvents and similar agents.
21. No modifications may be made on the device.
22. Note: Fall arrest blocks with recovery mechanism may only be used by persons who
are appropriately trained or otherwise skilled. Users must be free from health
impairments (alcohol, drug, medication or cardiovascular problems).
23. The service life of the fall arrest block with recovery mechanism must be determined
in the yearly inspection; it is approx. 10 years depending on load stress.
24. After every use of the fall arrest block, the device must be inspected by an expert
trained by the manufacturer.
25. When the HRA fall arrest block is used, it must be ensured that the loaded lifeline
does not pass over edges.
Service and maintenance
1. The lifeline shall only retract under load. On no account may the lifeline be fully pulled
out and released because the karabiner hook jolting against the device may cause
the retraction spring to break.
2. For devices that are constantly exposed to the weather, it is recommended to grease
the steel rope with acid-free oils or Vaseline at regular intervals.
3. IKAR fall arrest blocks with recovery mechanism should be stored in dry, dust- and
oilfree condition in a suitable container.
4. Components which have become wet during cleaning or use may only be dried
naturally, not near a fire or similar heat sources.
