Usage
Only use the fall arrest slider
in original FABA™ equipment.
Before ascending always ensu-
re that the carabiner for the fall arrest
slider is correctly attached to the
chest loop of the harness, closed
and locked. Users must wear the
harness (EN 361) as tightly fi tted as
possible. Do not use harnesses with
elastic straps.
If the belt loosens when ascending
and descending, it must be adjusted
again from a secured position.
You must be particularly careful
in ambient and weather con-
ditions where climbing safely
is not guaranteed. This includes,
e.g. snow / ice, live parts and other
infl uences. Do not use in potentially
explosive areas.
The clearance below the feet
of the user must be at least
2 m. Within the fi rst two meters
the user is eventually not protected
against hitting the ground so that
special attention during ascent resp.
descent is to be paid!
If it becomes necessary to re-
lease the fall arrest slider from
the harness or to remove it from
the climbing protection rail (e.g. to
detach it from the climbing protection
system using the detachable catch),
then the user must protect himself
against falling using other means,
without fail, (e.g. anchoring using
a safety rope with energy shock ab-
sorber) or fi nding a place where it is
safe to stand without falling, before
releasing the device!

1. The FABA™ fall arrest slider runs in
the climbing rail profi le and accompa-
nies the user when climbing up or down
the climbing way, without any manual
intervention being necessary.
2. The user must climb close to the lad-
der when using an FABA-Klassik A11
fall arrest slider. "Leaning backwards"
will cause the fall prevention device to
immediately lock in place in the clim-
bing protection rail.
3. The fall arrest slider is mounted
on the safety rail and, in combination
with the harness, protects the user
from falling only when ascending and
descending. In addition, while working
or during breaks the users must also
secure themselves with the permitted
and intended rigging. It is important to
ensure that this additional safety device
always remains tight.
4. If the fall arrest slider is left freely
suspended from the safety rail then
the fall arrest slider must be secured
in order to ensure that it cannot slip
downward (e.g. with a loop).
The slider must
touched or guided by hand
when climbing. Manual in-
tervention can influence the safe
operation of the brake mechanism.
5. After using the fall arrest slider, re-
move it from the safety rail, clean and
store in a dry location.
