The two plates of the riggin plate must not be twisted
against each other (see. fig. 5).
Example of an application in a rescue stretcher (see fig. 6)
When using a lanyard (fall arrest system) please be aware that
lanyards including energy absorbers and connectors may not
exceed a total maximum length of 2.0 m.
Lanyards may not be attached using knots, shortened or
lengthened.
The lanyard may only be attached to a reliable anchor point, a fall
arrest harness or other components of the fall arrest system.
If the lanyard is supplied without karabiners and without energy
absorbers, please note the following: A lanyard without energy
absorbers according to EN 355 may not be used in a fall arrest
system, connectors (karabiners) for lanyards according to
EN 354 must comply with EN 362.
Prior to using a fall arrest system, please ensure that the
necessary free space in the work area (unobstructed height) of 7
m underneath the user is provided for. Lanyards without energy
absorbers are used as restraint systems for work positioning. The
range of motion of the user should be limited so that there is no
possibility of him/her entering a fall risk area!
ANCHOR POINT
In order to avoid high loads and swinging falls in the event of a fall,
anchor points for belay purposes must always be as vertical as
possible above the person to be belayed. The lanyard/anchor
device from the anchor point to the person secured should always
be kept as taut as possible. Slack ropes must be avoided! The
anchor point must be designed in such a way that, when fixing the
PPE, no effects can occur which reduce the stability and it is not
damaged during use. Sharp edges, ridges and crushing can
seriously impair the stability. These should be covered, where
necessary, using suitable auxiliary equipment. The anchor point
and the anchoring must be able to withstand the expected loads
in a worst-case scenario. Even when using shock absorbers
(according to EN 355) the anchor points should be
designed for catching forces of at least 12 kN, also see EN 795.
SAFETY NOTICES
When combining this product with other components, the safety
aspects of the products may interfere with each other.
If this product is used in combination with other components of
a rescue/fall arrest system, users must acquaint themselves
with the enclosed recommendations, notes and instructions for
these components prior to use and comply with them. This
equipment should only be used in connection with parts of
personal protective equipment (PPE) bearing the CE-symbol to
protect individuals against falls from heights.
Only a fall arrest harness in accordance with EN 361 may be used
with a fall arrest system!
If original components are modified or removed from the
product, its safety aspects may be restricted. The equipment
should not be modified in any way or altered to allow attachment
of additional parts without the manufacturer's written
recommendation.
The equipment must be checked for possible damage before and
after each use. It must be ensured that the equipment is
serviceable and fully functional. The equipment must be
discarded immediately if there is even the slightest doubt as to
its serviceability.
WARNING! The products must be kept away from damaging
environments. This includes contact with corrosive and aggressive
substances (e.g. acids, alkalis, soldering water, oils, cleaning
agents), as well as extreme temperatures and flying sparks.
In addition, sharp edges, wetness and especially icing-up can
diminish the stability of textiles!
