If original components of the product are altered or
removed, this may impair the safety properties. The
equipment should not be altered or remodelled or
adjusted by use of additional parts in any way not
specifically recommended by the manufacturer in
writing.
Before and after use, check the product for possible
damage. Ensure fitness for use and correct function.
The product must be discarded immediately if even
the slightest doubt concerning its safety in use has
come up.
Attention! The products must not be subjected to
damaging influences. These include contact with
caustic or aggressive substances (e. g.: acid, lye,
soldering water, oils, cleaning agents) as well as ex-
treme temperatures or sparks. Sharp edges, mois-
ture and icing especially may substantially impair the
loading strength of textile products!
ATTACHMENT POINT
To prevent the high shock loads occurring in a pen-
dulum fall, the attachment points for securing must
always be located vertically above the person to be
secured. The lanyard from the attachment point to
the secured person must be kept as tightly tensioned
as possible. Avoid sagging of ropes!
The attachment point must be designed such that
attachment of a lanyard will not result in influences
reducing its loading strength or causing damage to
the lanyard. Sharp edges, burrs and pinching may
substantially impair the loading strength. Spots
causing such damage may have to be covered with
suitable auxiliary materials. The attachment point
and the anchoring must be capable of withstanding
the loads occurring in the worst conceivable case.
Even when energy absorbers (to EN 355) are em-
ployed as required by EN 363 (fall arrest systems),
the attachment points must be designed to bear a
fall energy of at least 12 kN.

1c The handle is used to align the suspended res-
cued person in the right position, e. g. to manoeuvre
the rescued person into a helicopter. It must by no
means be used as a load bearing attachment point.
1d The handle is not suitable for attachment.
Fig. 2 Positioning the rescue loop
Position the rescue loop behind the rescued person
so the centre webbing runs vertically down between
the legs and the chest webbing is located chest-high
with the opening of the wider Triple Lock buckle on
the left and right.
