1. Important instructions

1. Before using the product, it is essential that the
supervisor and operator review and understand
the information in the manual provided by Tractel
SAS, in order to ensure safe and effective use of the
equipment. This manual must be made available at
all times to all operators. Additional copies can be
obtained upon request from Tractel
2. Before using this safety equipment, it is essential
that users are trained in its use. Check the condition
of the product and associated equipment and
ensure there is enough vertical clearance.
3. The product may only be used by trained and skilled
operators or by operators under the oversight of a
supervisor.
4. The product may not be used before an inspection
by Tractel SAS or by an authorised and trained
technician, who must first authorise the reuse of the
system in writing, if:
• it is not in a visibly good condition,
• Its safety is in doubt,
• it has been used to arrest a fall,
• it has not undergone a periodic inspection in the
course of the previous 12 months; user safety
depends on the proper maintenance of the
efficiency and strength of the equipment.
5. A visual inspection is recommended before each
use; the operator must make sure that each
component is in good working order, in particular by
inspecting the condition and presence of the mast
rotation ring on the mast. When it is put in place,
the safety functions must not be deteriorated in any
way.
6. No modification or addition may be made to the
equipment without prior written approval from
Tractel SAS. The equipment must be transported
and stored in its original packaging.
7. If the weight of the operator plus that of their
equipment is between 100 kg and 150 kg, it is
essential to make sure that the total weight does not
exceed the safe working load of each component of
the fall arrest system.
8. This product is suitable for use in a temperature
range from -35°C to +60°C.
9. Comply with locally applicable labour regulations.
10. The operator must be physically and mentally fit
when using this equipment. If in doubt, consult your
physician or the occupational medical officer. Use
by pregnant women is prohibited.
11. This equipment should not be used beyond its limits
or in any situation other than that for which it is
designed: see "4. Functions and description".
12. If the anchor device is intended to arrest a fall by
an operator, the operator must use a fall protection
system in accordance with standard EN 363. The
