Connection to the harness
Connect the terminal connector to the sternal attachment point of an EN 361 full body harness.
Before use, adjust the harness so that it is perfectly snug to the user's body and it must not be
loose.
The weight of the user, including tools and equipment, must not be greater than the maximum
rated loads marked on the device.
The weight of the user, excluding tools and equipment, must not be less than the rated loads
marked on the device.
In the event where the harness loosens during the ascent or the descent, it will have to be
adjusted again from a safe position.
Warning: It is absolutely forbidden to lengthen or shorten the integrated lanyard, by adding or
removing a connector for example. It is equally forbidden to replace the lanyard provided by the
manufacture with another type of lanyard.
Use
The device enables the ascent or descent of a rigid or flexible anchor line in complete safety
and without the users intervention. In case of a fall, the system instantly blocks.
Warning: During the ascent pay attention to not solicit the cable with a rearward horizontal load
because this could delay the locking cam, increasing the braking distance of the fall and
potentially exposing the user to serious consequences.
The engagement of the release function of the handling of the device during the ascent of the
descent could prevent the safe operation of the braking mechanism and should only be
performed from a safe position where there is no risk of falling.
