Safety information
1. This stop device has been tested and approved to secure 1 person against falling and for rescue in accordance with EN 795:2012-10
Type B and to secure 2 persons against falling and for rescue in accordance with CEN/TS 16415:2013. If used in combination with the
following additionally required equipment: Safety harnesses compliant with EN 361, IKAR fall arrest devices compliant with EN 360, IKAR
HRA fall arrest devices with rescue-lifting equipment compliant with EN 360/EN 1496, it must be ensured that the force exerted on the
user as the fall is arrested is limited to a maximum of 6 kN. The anchorage equipment and fall arrest devices must only be used for their
original intended purpose.
Please note: The IKAR HRA fall arrest device with rescue-lifting equipment is not included in the scope of delivery.
2. Non-compliance with the instruction manual may result in life-threatening injuries. In the event of a fall, it must be ensured that the
affected person is not left suspended for more than 15 minutes (risk of shock).
3. A rescue plan that takes into account all potential emergencies in work-related scenarios must be in place.
4. The device must only be used by persons who have received the relevant training and who possess the appropriate expertise. Any
factors that could impair an individual‘s physical health must be eliminated (e.g. alcohol, drugs, medications or circulatory problems)
5. An IKAR HRA fall arrest device with rescue-lifting equipment can only be used to secure one person at a time, but may be used by
multiple persons one after another.
6. A cover ange must be used for mounting the cantilever arm. The cantilever arm is fastened by bolting it to the cover ange.
7. The product label must be checked for legibility and a visual inspection performed for obvious defects on the anchorage device and
its mounted parts prior to every use (according to the list on page 2). A functional test should to be performed for the optional IKAR fall
arresting device (HRA), either by jerking the rope outward or applying a test weight of at least 15 kg. The pawls must engage when this is
done.Check to ensure that the snap hook is working properly.
8. The safety protection of the worker is established once the cantilever arm has been correctly installed without error, and the optional
IKAR HRA fall arrester has been attached to the safety harness worn by the worker.The connection element must be checked to ensure
that it is functioning correctly.
9. The device should be positioned as plumb as possible over the head of the person to be secured in order to prevent swinging
movements as the person is lowered. The type of use should be selected so as to reduce the risk of a free-fall and to limit the fall height
to a minimum.
10. IKAR fall arresters may not be used to secure persons to rest on dry bulk goods or similar materials that a person can sink into. It must
be ensured that the type of work limits free falling to a minimum. Slackening of the cable must be avoided. In the event of a fall, impact
with the ground or any other obstacles must be impossible.
11. If a piece of equipment is damaged or strained by a fall, or there are any doubts as to whether the piece of equipment is in a safe
condition, it must be withdrawn from use immediately! It may only be used again further to its inspection and written approval by an
expert.
12. The device, i.e. the cantilever arm and fall arrester, must be inspected by the manufacturer or by a person trained and authorized by
the manufacturer depending on the operational demands, or at least every 12 months. This must be documented in the accompanying
inspection logbooks. The effectiveness and service life of the cantilever arm and IKAR fall arrester depend on these regular inspections.
13. If the cable breaks, kinks or frays, the optional IKAR fall arresting device shall be handed over to the repair workshop for replacement of
the cable.
14. The cantilever arm and the IKAR fall arrester must be protected against exposure to welding ames and sparks, re, acids, bases,
extreme temperatures and similar environmental inuences.
15. Compliance with DGUV Regulations 112-198 and 112-199 is mandatory.
16. The IKAR fall arrester is intended for use at temperatures between −40° C and +50°C, in accordance with EN 360:2022
17. The permissible load on the anchorage device complies with EN 795:2012 for the protection and rescue of one person and CEN/TS
16415:2013 for the protection and rescue of a maximum of 2 persons.
18. The anchor device and any optional equipment should be stored in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place after use until they are required
again. The cantilever arm must be protected against impact, shocks and blows during transport.
19. Modications or enhancements must not be made to the device, otherwise life-threatening injuries may result.
20. Before using disinfectants, you have to contact the manufacturer due to the complex legal product classications based on the specic
applications and constituents.
The instructions for use and installation must be read in full and understood before using the cantilever arm.
The instructions for use of the additionally used equipment and components must also be observed.
