4.1
Intended use
The H
-50.2 fall-
arrest system complies with the strictest safety requirements. It has been inspection
and certified in accordance with European and other international regulations.
The guided
Fall arrester Hailo PARTNER H-50.2 may only
be used for the intended use described
here.
•
The Fall arrester Hailo PARTNER H-50.2
has been inspected and approved together with the
Hailo
H-50.2 fall-arrest system.
•
The guided Fall arrester Hailo PARTNER H-50.2
may only be used for the ascent or descent
of the H-50.2 fall-
arrest system. Any other use is expressly prohibited, as this may cause
damage to and therefore failure of the Hailo PARTNER H-50.2 fall arrester in the event of
a
fall.
•
The Fall arrester Hailo PARTNER H-50.2
should remain the personal property of the respective
person and only be used by this user.
Use by an extended group of persons cannot be considered advisable.
•
Following ascent and descent, the Fall arrester Hailo PARTNER H-50.2
must be removed from
the fall protection rail again.
•
All dates and intervals for inspections and maintenance must be observed.
•
Local, regional and
national provisions and regulations must be observed and complied with.
The safety function of the H
-50.2 fall-arrest system with a Hailo PARTNER H-
50.2 fall arrester may
be impaired by the use of climb assist systems (motor
-driven or by means of a counterweight).
The operating company and the company that combines both systems (climb assist system with H-
50.2 fall
-arrest system) is responsible for ensuring use as intended.
Unrestricted safety and functionality of the H
-50.2 fall-arrest system in combinati
on with the
respective climb assist system must be guaranteed and documented.
WARNING!
Impairment of the safety function due to the use of climb assist systems
Having a functional inspection performed by a notified inspection laboratory and certified by the
subsequent issue of a declaration of no objection is mandatory.

4.6 Safety instructions for use
The Hailo Partner H-
50.2 fall arrester is designed for
use in a temperature range of
-40°C to +60°C.
Any other extreme climate conditions, for example
temperatures
<-40°C and >+60°C,
ice, snow or water can impair the function of the fall
arrester.
Use of the fall-
arrest system is not permitted in this
case.
No connecting elements on the fall arrester may be
extended or shortened.
Only safety harnesses in accordance with
• EN 361 (for Europe)
•
AS/NZS 1891.1:2007(for Australia and New
Zealand)
• OSHA/ANSI (for North America)
are permitted in combination with the Hailo
PARTNER H-50.2 fall arrester on the fall-
arrest
system.
NOTE
Observe the user manual for the safety harnesses.
Do not use half belts, seat belts, elastic belts or older
Form B
safety harnesses that only partially enclose
the body.
The snap hook [1] for the energy absorbing lanyard
may only be hooked into an approved fall arrest ring
[2].
The fall arrester may not be connected to the
positioning rings present on the side of the
safety
harness that may represent an additional element
near the hip.

The Hailo Partner H-50.2 fall arrester complies with the regulations in accordance with:
DIN EN 353-1;2018
AS/NZS 19891.3:2020
ANSI Z359.16-2016
The fall arrester is used on the fall protection rail of the H-50.2 fall-
arrest system as reliable fall
arrester equipment.
The self-
locking mechanism in the event of a fall, along with a smooth glide along the fall
protection rail, ensures a safe ascent and descent without hindering the user.
The fall arrester is equipped with an energy absorbing lanyard BFD-50-136 [2].
The integrated snap hook [3] on the energy absorbing lanyard [2] must be hooked into the fall
arrest ring [4] on the safety harness that was applied beforeh
and (in accordance with EN 361 for
Europe, AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 for Australia/New Zealand or OSHA/ANSI for North America).
In the event of a fall, the energy absorbing lanyard reduces the impact on the user’s body to a
value below 6 kN. (for ANSI: maximum impact force = 8 kN, average impact force = 6 kN).
The fall arrester may only be used on the fall protection rail in the correct direction of pull (red
arrow pointing upwards) [5].
The fall arrester is designed to prevent incorrect use.
