WARNING: Failure to adhere to any warnings and recommendations given
in these instructions may result in severe injury or even death! When using this
equipment you personally assume all risks and responsibilities for all damage, injury
or death which may occur during or following incorrect use of this equipment. You
are responsible for your own actions and decisions. If you are unable or not in a
position to assume this responsibility or to accept these risks, DO NOT USE THIS
EQUIPMENT.
a) NEVER use equipment that has exceeded its shelf and/or service life.
b) Never exceed the maximum strength force that any single element of the
height safety system is rated to withstand. The force applied to the equipment
is influenced by many factors including fall distance, load weight and attachment
method. If any doubt arises as to the specific force that is likely to be placed on the
equipment, DO NOT USE IT. Seek training or expert supervision.
c) DO NOT use components of height safety gear outside their limitations, or for
applications which they were not specifically designed for.
d) Avoid impacts and rubbing against abrasive surfaces during use, transport
and storage.
e) DO NOT use connectors with manual locking mechanisms in areas where
they are frequently opened and closed.
f) Ensure locking mechanisms and safety devices engage securely and
connectors are fully closed and locked before use.
g) NEVER combine components that are not recommended by the manufacturer
as being compatible. One item may interfere with the safe function of another,
jeopardising the function of the system as a whole.
h) NEVER attach a height safety system to an anchorage if you are unsure about
the strength and condition of the anchorage.
i) Take into account the length of every single component of a height safety
system, including the connectors, when determining the total length of the
system (see 'Specification').
j) The clearance under the user must be sufficient to prevent them from
striking an obstacle in the event of a fall.
k) DO NOT allow any part of a fall arrest, work positioning or restraint system
to come into contact with sharp edges or abrasive surfaces during use.
Reposition if necessary or choose an alternative anchorage.
l) Any component of a height safety system must be individually inspected
according to the manufacturer's recommendations and procedures. After
assembly, the system must be inspected as a functional unit.
m) Any kind of repair or modification of this equipment is strictly PROHIBITED.
n) DO NOT tie knots in harnesses, lanyards and ropes or allow equipment to
become tangled.
o) Equipment that has been exposed to extreme conditions, failed an
inspection or has been used to arrest a fall must be retired and destroyed.
p) Never expose items made with synthetic fibre components to direct flames.
q) DO NOT use shock absorbers that have been partially deployed, or when the
plastic sheath is damaged.
r) Destroy retired equipment immediately, to prevent further use.
s) All users of height safety gear must be medically fit for activities at
height and must wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the
environment, work carried out and tools used.
t) Carry out a risk assessment for every activity and define a rescue plan that
can be safely and rapidly executed in case of emergency.
u) All product markings must remain intact and clearly legible for the entire
service life of this equipment.
v) Store the equipment with its dedicated service record and usage instructions.
Gear with uncertain service history must be removed from service and destroyed.
w) Before using this equipment, ensure that it complies with local federal
regulations and other applicable safety standards.
x) Textile products including webbing and ropes MUST NOT be marked using
ink from marker pens or paint. These substances may potentially lead to
chemical damage of the material.
y) Store in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Intended Use (Fig. I)
Restraint positioning lanyard
This lanyard is primarily used to connect to a suitable anchorage as part of a work
positioning or restraint system.
WARNING: Do not use the restraint positioning lanyard for fall arrest purposes.
Always use in conjunction with a compatible fall arrest system when working at
height.
Screwgate karabiner
This karabiner is used as a connector in height safety systems. It may be used to
connect components including anchorages, for fall arrest, work positioning, travel
restriction, rescue, retrieval, evacuation and confined space entry/exit operations,
depending on the associated system components used.
Scaffold hook
This scaffold hook is used as a connector to anchorages in height safety systems. It
may be used for fall arrest, work positioning and travel restriction, depending on the
associated system components used.
Note: For non-commercial use only.
