Make sure that the work is done in such a way as to limit the pendulum effect, as well as the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and before
each use, make sure that, in the event of a fall, there are no obstacles obstructing the normal operation of the fall arrest system fixed to this anchorage
point.
User safety relies on the ongoing effectiveness of the equipment and full understanding of the safety instructions contained in this leaflet.
The readability of the product's markings must be checked regularly.
For safety reasons, make sure that no obstacles are impeding the normal operation of the fall arrest system, connected to the anchorage point, before each
possible use. Ensure that the general set-up limits swinging in the event of a fall, and that the work is performed to limit the risk and the height of a fall.
This equipment must only be used by trained, competent and healthy persons, or under the supervision of a trained and competent person. Warning!
Certain medical conditions can affect user safety, if in doubt please contact your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment and, therefore, the safety of the user in the case of: exposure to extreme
temperatures (<-30°C or >50°C); prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity) or to chemical products; electrical constraints; the fall
protection system becoming twisted when in use; or sharp edges, friction, cuts, etc.
Before and during use, we recommend that you make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue, should this be required.
Check before each use: the general condition (no cut, no wear, no abrasion, no corrosion or oxidation, no abnormal mark, ...), pay particular attention to
the 360° rotation anchorage (it must be well fixed on the body, rotate 360° without blocking, ...). Check the condition and the presence of the 6 sets of
2 screws (they must not have a sharp edge when in contact with the standing seam, they must be well aligned two by two, no crack, no corrosion, ... ).
Inspect all metal parts (no deformation, no sharp edge, no oxidation).
In case of doubt regarding the condition of the device, the anchorage point should no longer be reused and/or be returned to the manufacturer or to a
competent technician, approved by the manufacturer. After a fall, or in case of doubt, the product should not be reused and should be marked «OUT OF
SERVICE» (see paragraph entitled «INSPECTION»).
The readability of the product's markings must be checked regularly.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
Chemical products: do not use the device if it should come into contact with chemical products, solvents or fuels that could affect its operation.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Material: Aluminium and stainless steel.
Weight: 1 kg.
System breaking strength > 25 kN.
KRATOS SAFETY certifies that the anchorage point has been tested in accordance with the standard EN 795:2012 Type A.
COMPATIBILITY FOR USE:
This equipment is for use with a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force
exerted on the user during the arrest of a fall is no greater than 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body support device that may be used.
It can be dangerous to create one's own fall protection system in which each safety function can interfere with another safety function. Therefore, it is
important to read the recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
INSPECTION:
The expected service life of the product is not limited in time, if it is inspected annually by a competent person approved by KRATOS SAFETY.
The equipment should be inspected if there is any doubt, or following a fall, and at least annually, by the manufacturer or a competent person
authorised by the manufacturer to check its strength and therefore the user's safety. The product data sheet should be completed (in writing) after each
verification. The date of inspection and date of the next inspection must be indicated on the data sheet. It is also recommended to put the date of the
next inspection on the product.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE: (These instructions must be strictly observed)
Clean the metal parts with a wet towel. Never dry the product in the sun or close to a heat source. Let the product dry naturally (never above 65°C),
in a dark, ventilated room. Never disinfect the device, never use chemical detergents or bleach. In case of contamination, stop using the product and re-
move it from circulation, taking care to respect the environment. Keep the product in its original packaging. During transportation, keep the equipment
away from any cutting edges and in its packaging.
Only KRATOS SAFETY or a competent person are authorised to repair the product or modify the system. Repairs, modifications or adjustments that
are not authorised by KRATOS SAFETY may lead to serious accidents and falls.
The system must be stored in its packaging in a cool, dry and ventilated room.
