Technical Specifications - KRATOS SAFETY FA 60 007 00 Manual De Instrucciones

This notice must be translated (possibly by the retailer) into the language of the country of use.
For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.
KRATOS SAFETY cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use
this equipment beyond its capabilities!
USE AND PRECAUTIONS
The webbing temporary lifeline KRATOS SAFETY is a temporary anchorage device, transportable, and conforms to the standards EN 795 Type C and
TS 16415:2013 Type C, it should be allocated to a single user (but can be used jointly by 2 people).
This temporary lifeline has been designed to ensure the user safety everywhere the fall risk exists. It must not be used for lifting equipment.
This equipment can be used jointly by two people at the same time.
The user safety depends on the constant efficiency of the equipment and the good understanding of this notice. Readability of the product label has to
be verified periodically.
Minimum breaking strength of the anchor points: 25 kN.
Installation: Before the installation, this is essential to consider the deflection (F) of the lifeline in case of fall (see picture 1), the table below is given
as an example:
Lg of the lifeline installed (m)
It is essential for safety reason to verify the clearance at the work place before each use and during use in order to be sure there will be no collision with
the ground or obstacle in case of fall.
When choosing the installation place, you should check that the equipment cannot be damaged by: sharp edges, frictions, heat source...
Never connect two lifelines one to another if they are not connected on a reliable anchorage point.
Case 1: Anchorage points are existing (EN 795 Type A)
When it is possible, this installation has to be privileged.
For the connection, use steel connectors (EN362) (R>25kN).
Connect the end as explained above taking care not to twist the straps. The lifeline has to be positioned horizontally with a maximum slope of 15°. To
make the tension : manually draw the dead end of the strap, tender it inside the ratchet, to put in tension the strap by declutching the brake valve of the
tensioner to release the handle ratchet, activate the handle ratchet by performing at least two rounds so that the strap overlaps correctly. According to this
operating procedure, this corresponds with à pre-load of approximately 1kN (approximately 100 kg).
When the tension is finished, you should reposition the brake valve; this operation blocks the handle ratchet.
Removal:
To take off the lifeline, declutch the valve brake of the tensioner to release the handle ratchet. Draw the dead end of the strap to make a deflection.
Disconnect both ends. Put correctly the strap away in its bag.
For safety reasons, before each use be sure that there is no obstacle for the progress of the fall arrest system connected to an anchorage point. Check that
the general disposition limits the pendulum effect in case of a fall and that the work is done so as to limit the risk of fall and the height of fall.
This equipment must be used only by trained, competent and healthy people, or under the supervision of a trained and competent person. Be careful!
Some medical conditions can affect the user safety, in case of doubt you should contact your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the user's safety, if exposed to extreme temperatures (<
-30°C or > 50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), chemical agents, electrical constraints, twisting of the fall arrest system
during use, sharp edges, friction or cutting, etc.
Before and during the use, we recommend you to take the necessary dispositions for a possible safe rescue.
Before each use, check the equipment condition and especially the end thimbles and the straps (see if there is no cut, burn, discolouration, shrinkage,
etc.); also make sure the end stop of the strap is in place (stitching). Check that the ratchet is not deteriorated and is working properly. Check also that
there are no traces of oxidation or deformation, cracking, wear & tear, cutting edge in contact with the strap. Product markings must remain legible.
If there is a doubt about the condition of the equipment, the lifeline must be withdrawn from service and/or must be returned to the manufacturer or a
competent person appointed by him. After a fall the product must not be reused and withdrawn from use (see section VERIFICATION PROCEDURE).
Pay attention to structures with small diameters and corrosion because they can affect the performance of the device.
It is forbidden to add, remove or substitute a component of the device.
Chemicals: put the device out of service in case of contact with chemical, solvent or combustible products that could affect the functioning.

Case 2: Anchorage points don't exist
IMPORTANT: When there is no anchorage point, the forked ends of the
lifeline allow inserting a structure. For this kind of installation, the lifeline
straps should not be installed on sharp edges and have to be protected
adequately.
The connectors (EN362) used at the ends should be in steel (R>25kN) and
should never be in contact with the structure (pure tension between the two
straps).

Be careful to take into account the clearance
of the fall arrest system used, the useful
clearance will be equal to the deflection of
the lifeline + the clearance of the fall arrest
system.
