Preliminary remark

For a better understanding, the „Gui-
ded fall arrester on a rigid anchor
line" is replaced in the following by
the familiar term „Climbing protection
system" from the past, the „Guided
fall arrester" is the „Fall arrest slider".
Important operating instructions
1. You must read this manual in order
to be able to guarantee the operating
safety of the equipment and that it will
be used correctly before using our
FABA™ fall arrest sliders. Every user
must have understood the content and
must strictly adhere to the instructions
given in the manual.
2. This manual must be kept in a good
state and made available to all users
until the equipment is decommissioned.
Additional copies are available upon
request.
3. You must ensure that the labelling
on the fall arrest slider can always be
read easily. The fall arrest slider must
be permanently decommissioned if
the details become illegible or they
are erased.
4. The fall arrest slider is an integral fall
arrest system designed in accordance
with EN 363 and is solely to be used in
conjunction with other components that
interconnect together and are compa-
tible with the fall arrest slider and also
fulfi ll the valid safety regulations and
standards. It is vital that you adhere
to the instructions given in this manual
and those for any other products that
have to be used when connecting up
the various parts of the equipment that
makes up the fall arrest system.
5. Only one person is allowed to use
the FABA™ fall arrest slider at any
time. In doing so, the weight of the
user must not fall below the minimum
nominal load and the weight of the user
including tools and equipment must not
exceed the maximum nominal load.
Each user must undergo practical
training before using the equipment,
which should cover setting up and the
use of the fall arrest slider as part of a
complete system under normal working
and safety conditions. The object of the
training is to teach the user what to do
if he falls, in addition to normal rescue
operations.
6. Each FABA™ fall arrest slider is to
be used solely with the associated rail
profi les that are specifi ed in this ma-
nual. Disregarding these requirements
might well endanger the user's life and
TRACTEL® will not accept liability if our
FABA™ fall arrest slider is used in any
other way than that stipulated in the
climbing protection profi le.
7. Only use the FABA slider if it is in
perfect condition. The slider must be
inspected every time prior to use, and
a manual function check in the climbing
protection rail must be carried out.
Every fall arrest slider must be imme-
diately put out of operation and sent to
Tractel Greifzug GmbH or a qualifi ed
person trained and certifi ed by Tractel
if it is damaged or not functional, or if
there is doubt about whether it can be
used safely.
8. Any fall arrest slider that has held
someone who has fallen must be
withdrawn immediately from use and
returned to Tractel Greifzug GmbH or a
qualifi ed person trained and certifi ed by
Tractel for testing. The climbing protec-
tion system can only be used again
after a fall if a qualifi ed person trained
and certifi ed by Tractel has given writ-
ten permission for it to be used again.
9. TRACTEL® does not accept any
liability for using a FABA™ fall arrest
slider that has been dismantled without
their knowledge, especially if original
parts are replaced by parts made by
other manufacturers. You are only
