Intended Use

• This lanyard is primarily used to connect to a suitable anchorage as
part of a work positioning or restraint system. It can also be used
as part of a fall arrest system, if used in combination with a suitable
energy absorber.
WARNING: ALWAYS use in conjunction with a compatible fall arrest
system when working at height.

Usage limitations
• This equipment is designed for use by one person with a combined
total weight no greater than 140kg, including clothing, tools, and other
user-borne objects
• Manual screw locking karabiners should only be used where frequent
opening and closing is not required
• Acidic, alkaline, or other environments with harsh substances may
damage the hardware of the karabiner. DO NOT expose the karabiner
to corrosive environments for prolonged periods of time. Organic
substances and salt water are particularly corrosive to metal parts
• DO NOT use in environments with temperatures lower than -40°C or
greater than 80°C
• Equipment must be shielded when used near welding, metal cutting, or
other activities that produce large amounts of heat
• Use extreme CAUTION when working near energised electrical
sources. Metal hardware conducts electric current. Maintain a safe
working distance (at least 3m) from all electrical hazards
WARNING: Fall arrest gear is designed to arrest a fall from height ONLY
ONCE! If subjected to an arrested fall, the gear must be withdrawn from
service and rendered unusable.

• Check correct function of Karabiner (2) and Scaffold Hook (1), and
smooth operation of their safety mechanisms
• Check the Lanyard (5), Rope Thimbles (3) and the Protective Sleeves
(4) for damage
Note: Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for further advice on inspection
and fault conditions.
Anchorage requirements
Fig. B
• According to EN795 the minimum strength of any anchorage is 10kN
• Check anchorage for signs of deterioration
• As with all fall arrest gear, anchorages must be subjected to regular
inspections by a competent person. Inspect at least once every three
months and record findings in a dedicated service record
Positioning • Check that the karabiner is the correct size for the anchorage to be
used. If the karabiner is too small, use an anchor sling to connect to
the anchorage
Anchorage position
• The anchorage of the system should preferably be located above the
user's position
Use as part of a fall arrest system
• Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall be capable of
sustaining a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least
• 22kN for non-certified anchorages, or
• Two times the maximum arrest force for certified anchorages
• If more than one system is attached to one anchorage, the required
Use as part of a work positioning system
• Structures to which a work positioning system is attached shall be
capable of sustaining a static load, applied in the directions permitted
by the system of at least 13kN, or twice the potential impact force,
whichever is greatest. If more than one system is attached to one
anchorage, the required strength shall be multiplied by the number of
systems attached
