MSA Latchways GTFA Instrucciones Para El Usuario página 3

• Product markings shall correspond to the region in which the
devices are to be used p83.
• The Latchways Vertical GTFA shall not be used for work
positioning (i.e. primary means of support); to support either
partial or Full body weight.
• Latchways vertical systems may be installed and used such
that the maximum incline from vertical is 15º in any direction
(Figure 1).
The required minimum distance below the User's feet and the
working platform is 2 m (6'6"). Below 2 m (6'6") the User may not
be protected against hitting the working platform or obstacles
below. Therefore, extra care must be taken when ascending /
descending the first 2 m (6'6").
Temporarily disabling or manually handling the lock/release
mechanism of the device during ascent or descent may hinder the
safe operation and diminish the effect of the braking mechanism.
The Latchways devices have been subjected to an additional series
of tests devised by TUV/NEL. These tests were conducted using
71 kg (156 lbs) and 100 kg (220 lbs) anthropomorphic test dummies
with different body postures (reference NEL certificate no. MTHH).
The Latchways Vertical GTFA shall not be used for any
other purpose than providing attachment for a single User
to a Latchways cable system manufactured and specified
by Latchways plc. During use do not allow any clothing,
equipment, appendages or any other items to restrict the
operation of the device.
Do not use the Latchways Vertical GTFA below -30°c (-22°F).
Maximum Rated Load: Maximum single User mass is 150 kg
(including tools and equipment carried). Total system User mass
is determined by the device type and system configuration as
