A General
A1. Anyone working with or on the Söll GlideLoc climbing protection system according to EN 353-
1 must be informed about the content of this manual before using the system. Acting contrary
to these instructions endangers human life.
A2. The operator of the fall protection system must ensure that these instructions are kept safe,
dry and accessible to the user at all times.
A3. These instructions must be provided by the operator of the system on request to the manufac-
turer of the fall arrest system (Honeywell Fall Protection Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG or one
of its authorized dealers).
A4. For the use of this Söll GlideLoc climbing protection system, the instructions for use of the
corresponding Söll fall arrester must be observed.
A5. For installation and use of Söll GlideLoc accessory parts on these fall arrest systems, the cor-
responding separate instructions must be observed.
A6. When using further personal protective equipment, the corresponding separate instructions
must be observed.
A7. The accident prevention regulations VBG 1 and VBG 74 as well as the „Guidelines for safety
and rescue harnesses“ ZH 1/709 and ZH 1/710 must be observed.
For installation the UVV VBG 37 as well as the reference book ZH 1/61 must be observed.
A8. Söll GlideLoc climbing protection devices may only be assembled and operated using original
Söll components/elements. The combination with components/elements of other manufactur-
ers can impair the safety of the Söll GlideLoc climbing protection systems. Product liability in
such cases is rejected by Honeywell Fall Protection Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, as well
as by its authorized dealers. In addition, there is no approval in such cases, as Söll climbing
protection devices are tested and approved as a system. The full liability is thus transferred to
the operator.
A9. Thecontrollist(sectionG)mustbelledoutcompletelyandcorrectlybythesitemanagerof
theinstallationrmwithanindeliblepen.
A10. Before and during each use of the assembled fall protection system, a visual inspection of the
functionality of the system must be carried out.

A11. Important: Climbing locks
For new assemblies, only the following types of climbing locks may be used in accordance
with the requirements of EN353-1: 2014 + A1: 2017:
These climbing locks must be used if the following refers to or depicts “upper climbing
lock” or “lower climbing lock”. A distinction in type between “upper” and “lower” is no longer
required.
When doing so, follow the assembly instructions for the respective climbing lock and in
particular the assembly position (arrow upwards).

2 - fork wrench, SW 10
1- hand drill
1- Drill 6.5mm
1- Handsaw
 1-roundle8mm

At least 1 separate safety rope according to EN 354/355 with fall absorber to additionally
secure against falling during installation.
B3. Personnel required for installation: At least two persons
B4. Handle components gently, do not throw.
B5. Before installation, clean parts of dirt, especially at the connecting surfaces. Parts should
not come into contact with cement, mortar or similar substances. Mortar residues are to be
removed immediately. Especially the running surface for the fall arrester on the inside and
outside of the guide rail must be clean.
B6. Do not use damaged parts and do not repair them. They have to be replaced by brand
new parts.
B7. Minimum dimensioning for the mounting of climbing protection ladders:
The minimum dimension of the screws is M12. The order of the mounting bracket must be

B8. Attention:
 Installationcanbeconducteddirectlyfromtheladderwithoutsca󰀨olding.Forthispurpose,
the installer shall use safety harness and fall arrester. In order to be protected against fal-
ling during a possible retraction of the fall arrester, the installer must always secure himself
with a safety rope according to EN 354/355 as shown in Fig. 1.
 Onlyplacethekarabinerhookofthesafetyropearoundtheguiderailwithapositivet

B9. Attention:
 Theclimbinglocksandthemountingbracketsmustrstbemounteddirectlyaboveand
below the parallel switch installation location before the recess for the parallel switch is
sawn into the existing ladder.
If this is not possible, the installer must additionally attach himself to the mast with a
holding rope according to Fig. 2 in order to prevent any bending back of the ladder after
sawing and thus secure against falling.
Fig.2
Attention:
The function of the fall arrester is only guaranteed within the guide rail area secured by
climbing locks and when used as intended.
The insertion or removal of the fall arrester from the guide rail as well as the guiding over
the climbing lock with the arrester must be carried out in a secured position (for examp-
le,xedoor,securedplatform,securedhookingladderorsafetyropeaccordingto
EN 354/355).

B10. Mountingbrackets(2.3)mustrstbeplaceddirectlyaboveandbelowtheinstallation
location of the parallel switch.
Attention:
If this is not possible, mount the mounting bracket (2.3) immediately after sawing out the
recess (see also point B 9. - Attention).
Furthermore, the „lower“ (2.1)* and „upper“ (2.2)* climbing locks must be mounted.
Important:
Above the parallel switch, the „lower“ (2.1)* climbing lock must be screwed from behind
through the square perforation of the central rail (2.0) so that the „upper“ (2.1)* climbing
lockislocatedimmediatelyabovetherstsparmountingbracketovertheparallelswitch
and the locking bolt is located on the right side of the central rail.
Belowtheparallelpoint,insertthe„upper“climbinglock(2.2)*intotherstsquareperfora-
tion below the last spar mounting bracket, so that the locking bolt is also on the right side
of the central rail.

B11. Saw out the central rails (2.0) of the Y-spars (in the case of twin ladders also the side rails)
between 2 rungs for the installation of the parallel switch. For this purpose, the cutting
lines 30mm and 217mm from the lower rung are marked and sawn out of the ladder
section applying straight cuts.
Note:
Ensure that the recesses in the Y-spar of the two climbing paths are at the same height to
ensure correct installation.
Attention:
The climbing locks „lower“ (2.1)* and „upper“ (2.2)* may only be guided over after the
parallel switch has been mounted and the carriage has been locked in the correspond-
ing end position, or if a fall arrest system is in place (e.g. with safety rope according to
EN 354/355).
