FITTING AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
This lanyard is for use in a personal safety system that has had a thorough risk-assessment. Always thoroughly inspect all
components before and after fi tting, pay particular attention to the operation of connectors.
Ensure that all components used within the system are compatible; if in doubt seek advice from Spanset.
-
Only use with a Full body harness and work-positioning belt complying to EN361 & EN358/EN813 and connected to the
designated work positioning or fall-arrest points.
-
Any karabiner, or connector used must comply to EN362, and be securely locked to prevent opening.
-
Additional lanyards, or extension lanyards must comply to EN358. The total assembly must prevent the user from putting
themselves in a fall arrest situation.
-
If using this product for work positioning whilst climbing (e.g. telephone poles or electricity pylons) it is strongly
recommended that a fall arrest system be used to access the users position and to safeguard the user whilst using this
product.
-
The length is shortened by pulling on the free end of rope near the adjustment element. It is lengthened by un-weighting the
lanyard and pressing the button on the adjustment element to allow the rope to pay out. Always ensure the button is out and
the rope is locked before committing weight to the lanyard.
-
There may be a sleeve on the working piece of rope – this is for use as a wear protector and should be used to protect the
rope from abrasion by bits of structure. The sleeve also allows the rope to run more freely around structure.
THERE ARE TWO METHODS OF USING THE PRODUCT. (P5)
1. 'Pole Strap' Method. Connect the WPL to one side of the work-positioning belt, pass the other connector around the back
of the chosen anchorage (e.g. Wooden Pole, Electricity Pylon) and attach to the other side of the belt. The lanyard should be
adjusted and positioned at or above waist level and so that free movement is restricted to 0.6m.
2. 'Single Line' Method. For use in a Work Positioning/Restraint system one end of the rope can be attached to an anchor using
a karabiner , and the adjuster connected to the waist or fall arrest points on the harness using a karabiner. Never pass the rope
around an anchorage, clipping the karabiner back to the rope, as this is potentially dangerous. Remember to ensure there is no
risk of a fall or pendulum towards a hazard.
During use protect the lanyard from sharp, or rough edges, and any chemicals. Pay particular attention to ensuring that the
chosen anchor points in either Method of use do not interfere with the operation of the karabiners or the adjuster. If connecting
the karabiners to other metalwork, ensure there are no sharp edges that will cause the karabiner damage. Avoid contact with
hot surfaces and exposure to hot gases such as those from blowlamps or welding torches.
