When using the retractable fall arrester on a type / class C
anchor device (only if approved for shared use) according

6.) Fall display device
The device features an additional fall display. This allows the
device's condition to be checked.
If the fall display is „green", then there is sufficient reserve for a full
fall with maximum weight.
If carabiner or display are red:
A device damaged and/or stressed as a result of a fall, or if there
are any doubts regarding the safety of the device, then it must be
taken out of use immediately. Only after it has been checked and its
suitability confirmed in writing by a competent person or the
manufacturer should it continue being used.
7.) Care and maintenance:
•
Well-maintained protective equipment and safety systems last
longer!
•
The rope / webbing should only be rolled up under tension.
Under no circumstances should you pull the rope / webbing all
the way out and then release it, since the snap-back of the
carabiner against the device can cause the return spring to
break (see Fig. 3.2).
•
For a prolonged service life of all retractable fall arresters that
are constantly exposed to the elements, regular and complete
drying is recommended and the wire rope should then be
lightly lubricated with acid-free oil or Vaseline (only for steel
ropes).
•
Where there is a retractable lanyard made from PES /
Dyneema, this should only be cleaned with warm water or a
neutral detergent. Never use thinner or similar agents. Any
