Always check every
time before using!
• The user must have read and fully understood
the user manual before using the device.
• If even the slightest of faults is detected
during the inspection, this protective equip-
ment may not be used. In case of damage or
malfunctions, the device must be withdrawn
and no longer used and returned to the
manufacturer or an authorised workshop for
inspection. Faulty protective equipment
components may only be tested and repaired
in a workshop authorised by BORNACK.
VISUAL INSPECTION
• Check to ensure there is no obvious damage
to karabiners, joints, rivets, the basic unit,
pawls, lanyard and that they are not bent.
• The coupling joint next to the tape fall
absorber may not be deformed in any way.
• Check that the rail joints are tight and the
distance between the rails is max. . mm.
• Check that the identification is legible.
• Check to ensure that all rails, ladder attach-
ments, entry/exit securing devices, removal
flaps, securing devices and fall arresters are
complete and undamaged.
• Check that the end stops at the start and end
of the ascent path are in place.
• Check that the last expert inspection is not
older than  year.
FUNCTION TEST
• The fall arrester runs freely on lug A with
a horizontal pull and locks when pulled
downwards.
• Check the spring function on pawl and

BEFORE USING

EN
RAILSTOP RS S06 IN USE
PREPARATION
A Insert the fall arrester at the end of the rail or
at the removal point in the rail profile. Pull the
locking pin of the climbing lock downwards
and hold.
Guide the fall arrester, with the pin pointing
to the right, into the C-profile and past the
locking pin. The securing device prevents
incorrect engagement.
B The pawl must swing back automatically into
the locked position after passing.
C Pull the locking pin backwards and turn the
removal flap in a clockwise direction until it
reaches the stopper. Insert the fall arrester
with the locking pin pointing to the right. The
integrated securing device prevents it from
being inserted the wrong way round. Close
the removal flap again! Swing back to the
passing position and allow the locking pin to
snap into the lock borehole.
D Ensure that the arrow is pointing upwards.
When the fall arrester is released, the device
locks into the rail automatically. Manually check
the function on the rail by lifting and lowering
the fall arrester. The device must block when
jerked down or released!

USING THE FALL ARRESTER
CAUTION:
Before using, ensure there is enough clearance
to the ground below the user to prevent a fall
onto a protruding obstacle or the ground.
CAUTION:
When starting to ascend near the ground
(approx. . m), it is possible, under un-
favourable circumstances, that the legs will
hit the ground when the fall is arrested.
When climbing horizontally pull backwards on
the karabiner A (ventral multifunctional D-ring)
(horizontal pull = back support) and keep
unlocked in this way.
• Climb onto or o evenly in front of the middle
of the ladder and allow the fall arrester to
move with you.
• Do not allow loads to be exerted onto the
chest attachment! Keep the upper body
upright. If the upper body tilts out of the
normal position (due to a fall, unconscious-
ness etc.), the additional pawl B will block
immediately!
• The user can achieve an ergonomic resting
position quickly and safely by manually lifting
and blocking the fall arrester and assuming a
sitting/suspended position in the full body
harness. Does not serve workplace positio-
ning!
CAUTION:
The fall arrester must be blocked before the
user is suspended or sits in the harness!
CAUTION:
The weight of the user with tools and equip-
ment may not exceed  kg!
CAUTION:
The weight of the user without tools and equip-
ment may not undercut  kg!
CAUTION:
When using the fall arrester, ensure that the
function of the pawls and their attachments
are not obstructed. Otherwise, the locking
function may be disabled.
• The arrested fall arrester can be released by
slightly lifting the karabiner.
• When working on the ascent, always secure
with an additional holding rope in compliance
with EN  (e.g. LORY HOLD) or with a fall
arrester rope in compliance with EN /
EN  (e.g. PYTHON). Lateral inclined loads on
the fall arrester are not allowed.

 | 
RAILSTOP RS S06 IN USE
CAUTION:
If several persons use the ladder at the same
time, maintain a minimum clearance of . m.
• Only release from the fall arrester if there is
no longer a risk of falling. If necessary, secure
temporarily with a lanyard.
REMOVAL OF THE FALL ARRESTER
H Move the fall arrester close to the pawl but
do not set onto the locking pin. If necessary,
move the fall arrester back a bit. Press down
the bracket of the pawl and hold. The locking
pin in the C-profile is released and releases
the C-profile. Slide the fall arrester toward
the end of the C-profile and remove.
Release the bracket; the pawl must automa-
tically swing back to the locking position.
ROOF EXIT WITH REINFORCEMENT SPAR
I Move the fall arrester to just below the
climbing lock. At an attachment point in
compliance with EN , temporarily secure
with a lanyard or directly into the fall guard of
the roof system. Now open the climbing lock
and remove the fall arrester from the rail of the
ladder.
Descend via the roof exit in reverse order.
