Pre-Use Checks
• Ensurethereisnosignicantdamageorwear.
• Ensure pulley wheel rotates freely.
• Ensure cheeks are locked closed by connector.
• Ensure locking cam engages and disengages
smoothly.
Ensure that the rope does NOT
rub across the top of the locking
cam which could prevent correct
operation
Remember that the force
experienced by the pulley
and anchor point is twice
that of the load being lifted.
E.g. Load 100kg + force to
lift 100kg = 200kg on pulley

1 - Personal issue and traceability:
Although this product is not classed as personal protective
equipment, the product should remain traceable to the original
certicate of conformity and a permanent record should be kept
of its use. This user instruction forms part of the permanent
product record. All users must receive and read a copy of these
instructions and should understand what the instructions mean
and be familiar with them, including, but not limited to function,
suitability, compatibility of the product and inspection for defects
arising from damage. A copy of this user instruction should be
kept with the equipment, and referred to before and after each
use. In the event of a rescue, these instructions should be
provided to the rescuer.
2a - Anchor Points:
The anchor device or anchor point used should be of su󰀩cient
strength to sustain foreseeable loads in all permitted directions.
Specic standards requirements:
EN: Anchor device should conform to EN795, with minimum
static strength of 12kN. heightec recommend a higher strength
of 15kN as specied in the IRATA ICOP and BS7985.
When more than one system is attached to an anchorage, these
strengths should be multiplied by the number of systems.
Anchorages should be positioned to minimise the potential
for falls, and the distance and consequences of any potential
fall, ideally above the user. Verify there is su󰀩cient free space
beneath the user to avoid collision with the ground or other
obstacles and minimise sideways or pendulum falls. The
connecting system instructions should give advice on clearance
required, but a fall arrest energy absorber may extend by up to
1.75m.
2b - Further Requirements for Anchor Points in US (ANSI):
ANSI: (a) where certied, twice the maximum arrest force, or
(b) where not certied 22.2kN (5,000lbf) for fall arrest, 13.3kN
(3,000lbf) for work positioning, or 4.5kN (1,000lbf) for restraint.
When designing, selecting, and certifying a fall arrest anchorage,
the qualied person shall include the limitations on use of the
system in fall protection procedures described in ANSI Z359.2.
Design, selection and installation of certied fall arrest
anchorages shall include determining a safe location where and
how to connect those anchorages by taking into consideration
the forces generated by arresting a fall, total existing and
anticipated loading, load path, structural member strengths,
connection and support strengths, stability, clearance
requirements, swing fall, rescue deection of the system, and
impact on the structural members to which the fall arrest system
is attached.
Anchorages selected for rescue systems shall have a strength
capable of sustaining static loads, applied in the directions
permitted by the rescue system of at least 3,100lbf for
connection of rescue system only, or meet a Factor of Safety
of 5:1 based on the static load placed on the system when the
system is designed, installed and used under the supervision of
a qualied person.
It is essential a rescue plan is in place to deal with emergencies
and in particular to consider treatment and recovery of a fallen
or suspended person. Rescue equipment must be present
and personnel should be competent in its use. Orthostatic
intolerance can occur when a person is suspended motionless
in a harness, and is potentially fatal. Ensure that the rescue of a
suspended person is carried-out promptly.
Contamination with oils, lubricants, water or solvents may alter
the performance of the product. For rope devices behaviour will
vary according to the age, type, diameter and characteristics of
the rope used.
5b - Care of rope during use:
Take any steps necessary to protect the rope from damage
during use, including rope protectors, edge protectors,
intermediate anchor points or deviations to avoid sharp or rough
edges. Consider also the position of the rope below the user.
Ensure rope cannot su󰀨er from the e󰀨ects of wind, or become
trapped around obstacles.
6 - Guarantee:
This product is guaranteed for three years against faults arising
from manufacturing errors or materials defects. This guarantee
does not include normal wear and tear, faults arising from uses
for which the product was not designed and accidental damage.
7 - Notes:
If this product is re-sold outside the original country of
destination the reseller shall provide these instructions in the
language of the country in which the product is to be used.
Persons engaged in rescue operations that are exposed to a fall
hazard, must be provided an anchorage suitable for fall arrest in
accordance with ANSI Z359.1.
Anchorage connectors shall not be attached to anchorages where
such attachment would reduce the anchorage system strength below
the applicable level set forth above or reduce the anchorage strength
below the allowable level set by applicable structural codes. A suitable
anchorage connector shall be used for rigging the connection of
lanyards and lifelines to structural members. A lanyard shall not be
connected back onto itself for use as an anchorage connector unless
specically designed for this purpose.
Anchorage connections shall be stabilised to prevent unwanted
movement or disengagement of the rescue system from the
anchorage. Verify system connections by pre-tensioning the system
before applying the intended load.
Other components used in fall protection or work positioning systems
must conform to the relevant standards, be compatible with each
other and be used in accordance with their user instructions.
3a - Inspection and care:
The strength of this product may be a󰀨ected by cuts, nicks, deep
