INTENDED USE
The LORY HOLD is part of personal pro-
tective equipment (PPE) of category III to
prevent falls from heights. In combina-
tion with a full body harness acc. to EN
 or a sit harness acc. to EN , the
LORY HOLD solely serves holding and po-
sitioning in a circular gripper with  side
D-rings EN  or single-rope position-
ing of persons working in elevated work-
places, e.g. masts, steel constructions
etc., by means of a ventral anchorage
D-ring or sternal/dorsal D-ring.
The LORY holding rope type LOM has
an extra function that allows it to also
be extended even under a load.
This equipment may only be used by per-
sons familiar with personal fall preven-
tion equipment and the risks associated
with working in areas where there is a
risk of falling.
All other uses are deemed improper. The
company BORNACK will not be liable for
any ensuing damages. The user bears
the sole risk.

Maximum user weight including cloth-
ing and equipment:  kg
Application temperature: - °C to
+ °C
The LORY HOLD does not have an energy
absorber and, therefore, may not be
used to arrest a free fall!

J Positioning by lowering
Set the rope to a short length and
hand in the positioning system (sit-
ting). Descend in a controlled manner
using the control lever until the re-
quired position is reached. To correct
the hanging position, briefly relieve
the weight on the positioning system
by moving the body to an upright po-
sition. Pull the positioning rope tight.
K Using the control lever of the LORY
HOLD type: LOM
The control lever can be used to release
the clamping cam in a controlled man-
ner to allow lowering. This should be
carried out carefully and slowly to
avoid injuries. During lowering, the
control lever must always be held
manually in the required position. If
the control lever is released, the device
always returns to the STOP position
and blocks. During lowering, always
ensure that the loose rope end is held
in the hand and is guided.
ATTENTION:
For use by specially trained personnel
only!

ATTENTION:
If sand or dirt enter the device, this may

L When under load and without any
intervention by the user, the device
always goes to the basic position
STOP. The clamping cam blocks the
rope running through the device. On
completion of the lowering process,
ensure that the control lever lies com-
pletely on the device. This prevents
any foreign bodies from jamming the
device open which, in turn, could lead
to a malfunction or damage. The
device is securely blocked in this
position.

• Damaged, fall-stressed or dubious per-
sonal protective equipment or safety
devices must be immediately with-
drawn and not used. The equipment
may only be inspected by an expert in
compliance with DGUV (German Social
Accident Insurance) principle -,
by BORNACK or by a workshop author-
ised in writing by BORNACK. This must
be documented in the test card.
• Independent modifications or repairs
are not allowed.
• Rope protection is part of the personal
fall prevention equipment and should
be assigned to a specific person.
• The personal protective equipment
may only be used by qualified staff
that are familiar with the material.
They must be proficient in handling
the personal protective equipment and
must have been briefed about the pos-
sible risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident pre-
vention guidelines (UVV), the users of
personal protective equipment against
falls (Category III) must attend a theo-
retical training course and a practical
training course. Make use of the train-
ing competence of the BORNACK train-
ing centres: [e-mail]
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable
for the task at hand and the weather
conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy.
• Health impairments can jeopardise the
safety of the user when working at
heights or depths.
• Calculation of the possible fall path if
all necessary PPE components are used
correctly: (if necessary braking path
HSG) + surplus lanyard (situation-de-
pendent) + braking path energy ab-
sorber (max. . m) + height of D-ring
(. m) + safety reserve . m.
• Before using, ensure adequate clear-
ance below the user to prevent impact
on a protruding object or the ground.
• Protect personal protective equipment
during storing, use and transportation
against the eects of heat (e.g. weld-
ing flames or sparks, burning ciga-
rettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids, alkalis,
oils) and mechanical impact (e.g. sharp
edges).
• The combinability and protective eect
of the PPE must be checked for each
hazard situation (risk assessment).
SAFETY REGULATIONS

 | 
• If a casualty hangs motionless in a full
body harness for a longer time, blood
cannot flow back from the legs and/or
the flow may be interrupted. This can
lead to a suspension trauma, a circula-
tory shock with serious to fatal conse-
quences.
• Before starting work, the responsible
person must draw up a plan of rescue
measures that defines how to rescue
casualties quickly and safely and en-
sures first aid measures. Casualties
must be rescued within  minutes.
BORNACK can help you draw up tai-
lor-made rescue plans and includes
these in the necessary training courses.
E-mail hotline: [e-mail]
• The local safety guidelines (e.g. in Ger-
many, the DGUV Regulations -
and - issued by the professional
associations) and the accident preven-
tion guidelines for the specific industry
(UVV) must be observed.
• According to EN :, a hip har-
ness should not be used, if there is a
foreseeable risk that the user could be-
come suspended in the hip harness or
if the user could be exposed to an un-
intentional load by the hip harness.
• Due to the fact that the user usually
relies on the retention properties of
the equipment when using a work
place positioning system, it is impor-
tant to think about taking independent
safety precautions, e.g. using an arrest-
ing system.

LIFE SPAN
The following recommendation applies
for the use of the LORY HOLD:
Maximum usage period after being
used for the first time:  years
In ideal storage conditions and annual
inspections, the product may be stored
for up to  more years before it is used
for the first time without impacting on
the stated maximum usage period.
Every further year in storage reduces the
final maximum allowed usage period by
 year.
Metal parts are not subject to age-relat-
ed life span deadlines. The expert makes
a decision based on his technical exper-
tise and the latest version of the stand-
ard.
The service life can only be prolonged by
means of regular expert inspections and
the replacement of age-related worn
parts (e.g. ageing of textile compo-
nents).
For reasons of safety, intensive use and/
or extreme application conditions such
as sharp edges, chemical influences, UV
radiation etc. will reduce the usage peri-
od. The company owner needs to take
this into account in the workplace risk
analysis.
The company owner must ensure com-
pliance with the maximum usage period
by documenting first-time use in the
test card.
The test card at the end of this User
Manual must be presented during the
regular expert inspections and be com-
pleted by an expert.

REPAIRS
• For reasons of liability, repairs may only
be carried out by BORNACK or in a
workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK.
• Only original spare parts from the
manufacturer may be used.

 | 
OTHER
STORAGE
• Dry wet PPE before storage.
• Store in a dry place away from direct
sunlight.
• Do not store PPE near radiators. Perma-
nent exposure to temperatures below
 °C or above + °C has a negative im-
pact on the strength of the textile ma-
terial and shortens the life span.
• Do not allow PPE to come into contact
with aggressive substances (e.g. oils,
grease, acids, chemicals). Precision me-
chanics oils may be applied to moving
metallic parts during maintenance. Al-
ways ensure that textile PPE compo-
nents do not come into contact with
the oil.
• Do not store personal protective equip-
ment close to aggressive substances
(see above) because even the vapours
of aggressive substances can have a
negative eect on the strength of the
PPE.
• Protected storage in the device case or
device bag.
TRANSPORT
• Protected transport in the device case
or device bag.
