READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY
This device was designed to offer you the degree of safety expected from
personal protective equipment in accordance with the European
Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
SAFETY MEASURES AND WARNINGS
a) There are innumerable and even unimaginable possible modes of use
of this device. Only the techniques shown in the figures that are not
crossed out or displaying a warning sign are recommended and
covered by the warranty.
b) This product must be used exclusively by adequately skilled persons,
otherwise the user must be constantly supervised by trained

equipment conforming to Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and in accordance
with the relevant information.
d) In work at a height the foreman must ensure proper management and
planning (including risk assessment and rescue plan) of the work being
performed.
e) The lifetime of this product will be extended if it is used with care. In
particular, avoid rubbing non-protected parts against abrasive surfaces
and/or sharp edges.
f) The braking action of the device and thus your safety may be
considerably reduced if the device or the rope is dirty, oily, muddy or icy.
g) Prolonged use in salty environments (e.g. sea cliffs) may affect the
performance of the product.
h) Do not expose the device to significant heat or cold (see work and stock
temperature).
i) Avoid any contact with chemical reagents, as they may affect the
performance of this product. Contact the producer if in doubt.
j) This device is not tested to work in explosive atmospheres.

FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Figure 1: DOUBLE/LATERAL ATTACHMENT MODE
LORY WP or LORY WP.H work positioning lanyard is installed by fastening
one carabiner on the lateral attachment ring of the harness, passing the
lanyard around the construction and fastening the remaining carabiner to
the second lateral attachment ring on the harness.
STOP position – the braking cam must not be pressed.
Figure 2: SHORTENING OF THE ROPE
Pull the free end of the rope in the direction of the arrow to shorten the work
positioning lanyard.
Figure 3: LENGTHENING OF THE ROPE
Push the braking cam in the direction of the arrow with your thumb to
lengthen the work positioning lanyard.
F 4igure : SINGLE/VENTRAL ATTACHMENT MODE
The lanyard is attached to an anchor point situated above the user. To
lower, gradually release the braking cam and lower while holding the free
end of the rope. To raise, follow your ascent by pulling the free end of the
rope.
Figure 5:TEMPORARY ANCHORING AROUND A STRUCTURE
To construct an anchor, pass the lanyard around a structure and clip both
connectors into the next element of the safety chain (fig. A). Ensure that the
structure the anchor is constructed on has sufficient strength. Secure the
device with a mule knot and an overhand knot tie-off (fig. B). With large
angles avoid triaxial loading on plain connectors (e.g. use a rigging plate,
or connectors made for tri-axial loading) (fig. C). Always secure the device,
do not girth hitch and protect sharp edges (fig. D)! If the anchor is part of a
fall-arrest system, use measures to absorb shock loads.
Figure 6: CORRECT USE
Always pay attention to correct fastening.
Wrong clipping of the hook in the attachment ring of your harness may lead
to accidental disconnection. To eliminate this risk, always clip the hook
correctly (see figure).
The work positioning lanyard is not intended to protect you in case of a fall..
It is only used as work positioning lanyard according to the EN 358
standard.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular examination:
• Do not hesitate to retire the device if it shows signs of wear (for rope
abrasion see indicator on the pivoting pulley) or after a major fall or a
major impact. They could cause internal or invisible damage that may
significantly weaken its strength. In case of uncertainty treat the device
as damaged or consult ANTHRON. Additionally treat the device as
faulty if any of the forth mentioned applies: absence or illegibility of
markings; absence of any elements affecting the equipment form and
function; evidence of defects in or damage to hardware elements
including but not limited to cracks, sharp edges, deformation, absence
of parts, corrosion, and other forms of alteration; any other condition that
calls to question the suitability of the equipment for its intended purpose.
• Regular periodical inspections must be carried out by a competent
person at least once a year. For this purpose an inspection record
should be established (see the backside of these instructions).
Furthermore we would sincerely recommend one set of equipment is
used by one person only as its history of use is best traced and
understood in this way.
• Before each use it is obligatory to check the descender and verify that all
its components (handle, jamming cleat, flanges) are faultless and in
good working condition.
• Lory WP.H features the possibility to replace a worn lanyard or switch for
a lanyard length better suited for the job at hand. Consult instructions for
Lanyard WP.

supply. If the stains persist, clean it in warm water (maximum 30 °C) with
ordinary soap. Then rinse thoroughly, wipe it with a towel and dry naturally
in a shaded ventilated place away from sources of heat.
If needed, lube the moving joints of the jamming cleat and handle sparingly
with silicon based oil.
Temperatures
While it is permissible to use this product within the temperature range
from -40 °C to 80 °C, it is advisable to store it in a dry place at room
