Warning: not suitable for
use in an ATEX environment
(Directive 94/9/CE)
The information provided by the
manufacturer (hereinafter information) must
be read and clearly understood by the user
prior to using the device. The information
regards the description of the features,
performance, assembly, disassembly,
maintenance, preservation, disinfection, etc.
of the device. Even though the information
offers tips on use, this information shall
not be considered as a user manual under
actual conditions of use.
WARNINGS AND
LIMITATIONS OF USE:
- this device is to be used only by persons who
are physically fit, trained (instructed and taught)
in its use, or under the direct supervision of
trainers/supervisors who ensure its safety,
- do not use the device until this user manual
has been read and understood in its entirety,
- strictly follow the manufacturer’s information,
improper use of the device is hazardous,
- modifying and/or repairing the device is strictly
forbidden,
- all checks described in chapter 7 must be
carried out prior to and after using the device.
In case of any doubt on the efficiency of the
device, the user must replace it immediately,
- improper use, deformations, falls, wear,
chemical contamination, exposure to
temperatures below -30°C or above +50°C
for textile/plastic components/ devices, and
+100°C for metallic components/devices, are
some examples of causes that can reduce,
limit and end the life of the device,
- the location of the anchor is critical to the
safety of fall arrest: carefully evaluate the
clear height present below the user, the the
height of a potential fall, the elongation of
2 GENERAL INFORMATION
the rope/ rope, the elongation of any energy
absorber/dissipator, the height of the user,
and the “pendulum” effect so as to avoid any
possible obstacles (e.g., the ground, rubbing,
abrasions, etc.),
- the minimum strength of anchor points, made
on both natural and artificial elements, must
be at least 12 kN. The evaluation of those
made on natural elements (rock, plants, etc.)
is only possible empirically, so it must be
carried out by an experienced and competent
person, while for those made on artificial
elements (metals, concrete, etc.) it is possible
scientifically, so it must be carried out by a
qualified person.
- Before any recovery operation ensure that the
weight does not exceed the range defined in
Section 3.3,
- To reduce the risks of exposure/transmission
of infectious diseases carry out cleaning
and disinfection of the device as defined in
Chapter 5,
- Always check the compatibility of the devices
used in combination through the relevant
manufacturer’s information,
- the use of spare parts or accessories other than
those listed in Section 3.4 can be dangerous,
- Avoid exposing the device to heat sources
and contact with chemicals. Reduce direct
exposure to the sun to the extent necessary.
At low temperatures and in humid conditions,
icing can reduce flexibility and increase
the risk of cuts and abrasion on textile and
synthetic devices.
All our devices are tested/ checked piece
by piece in compliance with the procedures
laid down by the Quality System certified
in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 9001
standard. Laboratory tests, testing, information
and standards do not always reproduce the
practical result. Thus, the results obtained
under the actual conditions of use of the device
in the natural environment may differ, even
considerably at times. The
best information lies in the continuous practical
use under the supervision of skilled/
expert/qualified people.

SPECIFIC
INFORMATION
4.1 INTENDED USE
The 817.640 RAIZER is a device that is:
- suitable for the simultaneous anchoring of 2 persons and for the connection of elements
of personal protection systems against falls from a height (EN 795:2012 and CEN/TS
16415:2013) (plate A),
- a multi-anchor for connections of up to 6 persons (RfU CNB/P/11.114) (plate A),
- used for lifting (max 240 kg) with additional hand-operated lowering function designed for
descents of up to 2 m (EN 1496/B:2017).
This device facilitates the handling of loads (inert or human but not for multi-purpose
use) in work at height and in technical rescue operations.
Do not use the device to lift persons after using it to lift materials.
For descents greater than 2 meters, connect a device to descent points
compliant with the EN 341 standard or, alternatively, to a EN 12841/B device
and an additional safety rope.
CHAPTER 4
4.2 POSITIONING
The 817.640 RAIZER can be positioned, according to the needs of users:
- floating, by means of ropes that connect to anchor points,
- on tubes, through the use of the tube clamp,
- attached to columns or sections, with the help of ratchet belts,
- on the ground, with the use of the Winch Adapter and the Ortles Stand.
The choice of the best positioning must be made by experienced and trained
personnel.
The anchor points must guarantee a minimum strength of 12 kN.

4.2.1 Floating positioning
Position the RAIZER in a “floating” manner using ropes/cables connected to the eyelets (B)
and/or to the connecting holes (C).
The RAIZER must be connected to AT LEAST 3 different anchor points.
