so, to keep its results, under no cir-
cumstances its adjustment must be
changed.
THE CHANGE OF AN ADJUSTMENT
WOULD MAKE THE EQUIPMENT
DANGEROUS
CHECKING BEFORE USE
Before each use, carry out a tho-
rough visual examination to ensure
that thePPE, as well as any other
equipment with which it could be
associated (connector, lanyard...) is
complete. Make all necessary arrange-
ments for the implementation of any
rescue in total safety. In the event of
your product being damaged, consult
the manufacturer or his agent. If you
have any doubts regarding the safe
condition of the product, or if the pro-
duct has been used to arrest a fall,it is
essential to your personal safety that
the PPE be withdrawn from service
and sent back to the manufacturer or
a qualified repair centre for checking,
or destruction. Following examina-
tion, the centre will either deliver or
refuse written authorisation to re-
use the PPE. It is strictly forbidden to
modify or repair a PPE yourself. Only
the manufacturer or a repair centre
is qualified to carry out these repairs
(fig. 1.1).=
When the system is delivered with an
integrated equipment, it is forbidden
to replace one of the components of
this system. Carefully check the fol-
lowing points :

All the cable or the webbing
winds out and in freely.

The braking function operates by
giving a quick tug on the cable,
strap. The cable, strap should
brake immediately. (Picture 1.2)

The device is in good condition
and the screws and the closing
rivets are present and suitably
fixed.

The extremity of the cable or the
webbing is suitably swaged or
sewed.

The carabiners provided with the
device function and lock correctly.

There is no trace of corrosion on
the metallic parts.

The cable or webbing does
not show any sign of wear(tear,
fraying, breaking, corrosion, etc...)
(Picture 1.3)
NOTE
Self-retractable fall arresters are desi-
gned essentially to operate in a verti-
cal position. However, Some models
are also capable of opera-ting in the
horizontal position (for confirmation,
contact the maker of his agent). But,
before installing, it is highly advisable
to check there is no risk of pendulum
movement and to protect the cable,
strap from any cutting edges or abra-
sive surfaces .
For retractable fall arrester fitted with
a fall indicator, check before use that
the fall indicator has not been activa-
ted. Its activation demonstrates that
the device has been subjected to a fall
or a significant traction force. In this
case, the device must be returned to
the manufacturer or to a certified re-
pair centre for checks (Picture 2)
USE
Connexion :

The retractable type fall arrester
harness can be connected to
a reliable anchorage point by
its handle or by a connector,
a lanyard, a fibre-type sling
compliant with standards EN 362,
EN 354, EN 795.

The connector situated at the end
of the cable or of the strap of the
equipment must be connected to
the fall arrest anchorage point of
the harness.
ATTENTION DO NOT ATTACH
THE CABLE, STRAP OF THE FALL
ARRESTER TO OTHER POINTS
THAN THOSE INTENDED FOR
THIS SYSTEM . DO NOT ATTACH IT
DIRECTLY TO THE WEBBING, ON
THE ADJUSTMENT ELEMENTS OR
ON THE ACCESSORY HOLDER .THE
"D" BACK ANCHORAGE POINT
OF THE HARNESS IS THAT WHICH
WILL ALLOW, IN THE CASE OF A
FALL, THE BEST POSITIONING
(PICTURE 1 .4)
Limits of use (except in special cases -
see specific manual):

Temperature of use : from - 30°c
to + 50°c (Picture 1.6)

Must always be placed above the
user (Picture 1.7)

Limit of pendular movement
inferior to 30° (Picture 1.8)

Can not stop a sinking (pul-
verulents or muddy products)
(Picture 1.9)
Precautions of use :

Check that the height of the
anchorage point above the work
space is compatible with the
capacity of the fall arrester and
that sufficient clearance exists,
which is compatible with the
characteristics of the device in the
case of a fall.

Check that during use, the cable
or the webbing does not get
wound around an arm or a leg.

Never try to modify or to repair
PPE; Only the manufacturer or a
certified maintenance centre is
authorised to repair it.
