SkyReach Anchor Safety instructions
General
The SkyReach Anchor is a product that has been designed to
prevent falls from heights, mainly during all work associated with
decking for horizontal formwork operations. Together with specific
attachments and certified Personal Fall Protection Equipment
(PFPE) it will create a personal fall protection system which
contributes to a safe workplace.
The SkyReach Anchor is also compatible to use with the
COMBISAFE Loading System MkII, which allows you to load and
unload flatbed vehicles in a safe manner.
The SkyReach Anchor is 3,1 metres high and the anchor boom is
2 metres long which allows the system to cover a working radius
of up to 8.5 metres and gives access to a surface area of close to
230 m2when used in conjunction with a Falcon 6.2 m retractable
fall arrest block. Due to the lightweight design of the SkyReach
Anchor, it can be manoeuvred and installed by a single person,
and it can also be moved by crane if that is preferred.
The SkyReach Anchor is tested to comply with
EN 795:2012 Type B standard, and is CE-certified by DEKRA
Testing and Certifiaction GmbH, Dinnendahlstraße 9, 44809
Bochum, Germany, with identification nr 0158.
Read carefully through this user instruction before using the
product. In case of questions and uncertainties, please contact
Combisafe for support.

SkyReach Anchor Safety instructions
Safety instructions
The SkyReach Anchor is intended for the purpose stated in this
user instruction only, any other use is not allowed. The SkyReach
Anchor is a personal fall protection anchor device, used to
protect workers operating at height. If used incorrectly there is
a potential risk of accidents to both the user and other people in
the vicinity. Please read this manual carefully before use.
• Under no circumstances may the product be used as a makeshift
crane or lifting/lowering device.
• Under no circumstances may any item other than those provided with
the system be used either in replacement or through choice as this
may affect the performance of the product.
• Care should be taken in the transportation of the product between
locations. If any damage is found on any part, the item must be
withdrawn from use, inspected by a trained person and replaced if
required.
• Care should be taken while installing the product and if any damage
occurs or is found on any part, the item must be withdrawn from use,
inspected by a trained person and replaced if required.
• The site location where the SkyReach Anchor is being used must have
a rescue plan in place, in the event of a fall arrest incident.
• The device is designed for use by one person at a time only. Under no
circumstances may multiple persons be attached to the device.
• If a crane is used as lifting device, be aware of the movements made
by the crane and keep workers at a safe distance.
• The SkyReach Anchor is designed to be used within a zero factor fall
arrest system. Make sure that the anchorage is always overhead and
the self- retracting lifeline is taut between the anchorage point and
the worker.
• The maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point that can occur
during service is 0,7 m.
• In case that SkyReach Anchor is re-sold outside the original country
of destination, it is essential that the reseller provides user instruc-
tions in the language of the country in which the system is to be used.
• When referring to included components not produced by Combisafe,
please refer to the specific user guide / manual for that specific item.

Safety instructions SkyReach Anchor
• When using a retractable fall arrest block, the certification of this
product is only valid when the prescribed block is used, hence it is
tested and approved in combination with the SkyReach Anchor.
• PFPE that is used together with the SkyReach Anchor must be
CE-certified and approved in the specific country of use.
• It is forbidden to use the products stated in this user instruction if
pregnant, suffering from cardiovascular disease, affected by alcohol
or drugs or other health issues that might affect your mental or physi-
cal capacity.
Always check products and equipment before use
Check all component parts of the SkyReach Anchor before
assembly. Never use damaged or rusty parts, as this can affect
safety. Refer to the check list in the Maintenance chapter which
must be followed prior to use.
Never combine products
It is not recommended to install, combine or interconnect products
other than those supplied by Combisafe. Combisafe product
liability is limited to correctly installed Combisafe products only.
Always use Personal Fall Protection Equipment
Personal Fall Protection Equipment (PFPE) must always be worn
during assembly and dismantling when a risk of falling exists,
see Figure 1. This also applies to work carried out from MEWPs
(Mobile Elevating Working Platforms).

Safety instructions SkyReach Anchor
Periodic inspection/inspection after a fall
To ensure the function and safety of the components, a safety
inspection of the SkyReach Anchor, the attachments and the
PFPE, needs to be done by a competent person at least once
every 12 months. The inspections must be documented into a
component record.
If an accident has occurred, e.g. a person has fallen, the items must
be immediately withdrawn from use and inspected by a competent
person according to the manufacturer’s safety check.
Please contact Combisafe for more information regarding
inspections and associated documentation.
NOTE
The SkyReach Anchor is designed to deform if a fall occurs, to
absorb the energy and reduce the arising forces. When tested,
the maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point is 0,7 m.
Rescue
If there is a need to rescue a person that has fallen, the
SkyReach Anchor can provide help by using a SafEscape Elite
(Part No. CM1028770) and Webbing Anchorage Sling (Part
No. CM1002918). By looping the sling round the lower section
of the mast of the SkyReach Anchor, a rescue operation can be
performed. It is not allowed to connect the SafEscape to the
anchor point of the SkyReach Anchor. Remember that a rescue
operation can only be performed by a person that has been trained
to use the SafEscape. Thus, no rescue method can be described
in this User Instruction. The operation needs to be planned by the
Safety Manager at the site and evaluated to the actual case with a
separate risk analysis.
Remember
• Plan the fall prevention at an early stage, this will benefit everyone.
• Use only safety-checked products.
• Restrict access below and around the installation and working area to
prevent injury to others from any fall hazard.
• Use tools designed for the type of work to be carried out.
• Keep the installation area in order.
• A safe workplace is a good workplace.
• Many fall accidents occur from a low height.
