Never run or jump whilst attached to the unit, walking
at a steady pace will ensure that the device does not
sense a fall.
As there may be a risk of injury during fall arrest due
to a collision with parts of buildings or constructions
the relevant risk assessments must be carried out and
measures taken to eliminate or reduce the possibility
of injury.
Ensure the lifeline is free to extend and retract from the
device, and that the brake engages with a sharp jerk,
before use. The line between the user and the device
must be taught at all times.
For W2TH Dual Kits, assemble and use RTFA
according to instruction sheet provided with Dual
RTFA Bracket.
The deflection of the anchor device shall be taken into
account when determining the clearance required
below the feet of the user.
If using RTFA with scaffold hook, RTFA housing must
always be attached at harness dorsal D-ring. Scaffold
hook must ONLY be connected to structural rebar, or
other structural anchor (such as angle iron or concrete
form) deemed compatible by a Competent Person.
During horizontal use, the working area or lateral
movements to both sides of the centre axis of device
anchorage point must be limited to a maximum of
1.5m.
See diagram C, page 14.
C10HW & C15HW only!
Ensure the FMS cover is not damaged and does NOT
show any signs of deployment before use. See page
16 for further details on inspection
INSTALLATION AND USE
STEP 1
All components of the personal fall arrest system must
be selected and deemed compatible with RTFA by a
Competent Person.
STEP 2
Ensure area where work is to be performed is free of all
hazards, including, but not limited to, debris, rot, rust,
sharp or abrasive edges and surfaces, and hazardous
materials.
STEP 3
Anchor point must be located above harness D-ring at a
sufficient height to prevent freefall.
STANDARD OVERHEAD USE (ALL VARIANTS)
Step 4a
Attach RTFA housing to anchor point with provided
karabiner, or equivalent EN362:2004 compliant connector,
and attach lifeline connector to applicable harness D-ring.
Ensure that the hook of the device is secure in the harness
D-ring and that the gate of the hook is locked.
INVERTED USE (W2H & W2TH ONLY!)
Step 4b
To use RTFA with housing at harness, attach the
anchorage connection point to the dorsal D-ring via the
provided karabiner, dual RTFA bracket or equivalent
EN362:2004 compliant connector, then attach lifeline
connector to suitable anchorage point.
HORIZONTAL USE (ALL VARIANTS)
Step 4c
The anchor point may only be situated at the same height
as the edge at which a fall might occur or above the edge,
NEVER below. Install the device with a minimum setback
distance of 2.5m from leading edge (C10H, C10HW, C15H
& C15HW).
