10. Working on wind turbines
Use one LORY as a descender (EN 12841 C) and a second one for
attaching (EN 358) on the turbine blade.
11. Belay
For lead climbing, only LORY with dynamic ropes (EN 892) is
suitable. Do not use LORY PRO. Always hold the free rope end
in your hand. You will prevent a fall by holding the free rope end in
your hand. When lowering a climber, follow a similar procedure as
when abseiling.
12. Temporary anchoring around a structure
To construct an anchor, pass rope for LORY PRO installed in the
LORY around the structure and clamp both connectors on the next
element of the safety chain (Figure 13A). Ensure that the structure
on which the anchor is secured has sufficient strength. Secure the
device with a mule knot and an overhand knot (Figure 13B). With
large angles, avoid tri-axial loading on plain connectors (e.g.use a
rigging plate or connectors made for tri-axial loading) (Figure13C).
Always secure the device, protect sharp edges and do not use
a cow hitch (Figure 13D). If the anchor is part of a fall protection
system, use measures to absorb shock loads.
General information
Regular checks:
• Do not hesitate to dispose of the device if it shows signs of wear
or after a major fall or a major impact. These may cause internal or
invisible damage that may significantly weaken its strength. In case
of uncertainty, treat the device as damaged or consult SKYLOTEC.
• The device must be checked by an authorised person once a
year. Keep an inspection record for this purpose (see last page
of the user manual). We also recommend that a set of equipment
is used by one person only as its history of use is best traced and
understood in this way.
• Before each use, you must check the device and ensure that all
its components (handle, jamming cleat, flanges) are faultless and in
good working condition.
