Working Load Limit (WLL)
Please note that the WLL refers to the
total combined load on the OBELISK.
The combined load must not exceed
this amount.
Where dynamic loads are envisaged, the
WLL may be up to 100 kg for a single-
user (EN 795:2012) and 200 kg for
two-users (CEN/TS 16415:2013).
Where only static loads are applied, the
WLL may be up to 272 kg.
The WLL specied above apply when
used in congurations described in
these User Instructions, with loads
suspended from the anchor point and at
90° to the footprint. Alternative rigging
layouts, terrain and environmental
conditions may apply forces in directions
that reduce the stability of the OBELISK.
In such circumstances, the WLL must be
decreased. Resultant forces that extend
beyond the footprint of the OBELISK
can cause overturning.
Ultimately, the user of the OBELISK is
responsible for determining theWLL
of the OBELISK based on the specic
circumstances of use and the factor of
safety applied. Users may reduce the
WLL.The user must never exceed the
WLL.
Breaking load
For a single person load:
EN 795:2012 requires a minimum
breaking strength of 12 kN.
For a two person load:
CEN/TS 16415:2013 requires a
minimum breaking strength of 13 kN.

Warning
Where accessories are available refer to
the user instructions supplied with the
accessories.
Always inspect the OBELISK before use.
Refer to instructions for inspection.
A damaged, incorrectly loaded or
overloaded OBELISK could fail, causing
damage, injury or death.
When carrying out work at height
maintain an appropriate exclusion zone.
Remain vertically below the anchor
point to minimise the risk of a
pendulum fall which may apply loads
outside the footprint of the OBELISK,
shock load it or destabilise it.
The OBELISK will transmit any force
applied directly to the structure in the
direction in which it is applied.The
OBELISK will attempt to align with
any applied force, and may move if the
load is not applied perpendicular to the
structure.
Never adjust any part of the OBELISK
once it has been deployed and is in use.

Use
The OBELISK is intended to provide an
elevated anchor point(s) for combined
loads not exceeding 272 kg, within the
limits and restrictions dened by these
User Instructions.
For single-user use, the OBELISK is
Personal Protective Equipment, and
may be a personal issue item. For two
simultaneous users or during rescue,
the OBELISK is not Personal Protective
Equipment. Please note, for all uses, the
OBELISK is NOT lifting equipment.
Always know the weight of the intended
load before using the OBELISK. Do not
overload the OBELISK.
Under normal operating conditions, the
OBELISK will not show any obvious
deection.
Always ensure that the surface the
OBELISK is to be used upon is capable
of withstanding the foreseeable loadings
applied by the OBELISK.The surface
on which the OBELISK is placed may
dramatically reduce both theWLL and
the stability of the OBELISK, e.g. if there
are overhangs, undercuts, voids, slippery
and/or sloping surfaces, free owing
solids.
Always ensure the OBELISK is of a
suitable size, shape and conguration for
the intended use.
The OBELISK can be used with
differential leg adjustments in any
combination, e.g. short front legs and
long back legs, or short side legs and
long side legs. Ensure that the upper
surface of the Top Beam is level in the
horizontal planes.
NOTE: It is not the intention of
these user instructions to describe
the numerous alternative systems
that may be connected to the
OBELISK. It is the responsibility
of the user to check compatibility
with the other elements in the
safety chain before using this
product.The performance of the
elements of the safety chain must
not be compromised when the
OBELISK is installed and in use.
Assembling the OBELISK
Assemble the OBELISK a safe distance
from any fall hazard.
Users are responsible for ensuring their
own safety whilst assembling, erecting
and using the OBELISK.

The OBELISK may be assembled as
follows:
1. Adjust all legs to the expected
operating height and secure with the
attached locking pins. Do not over
extend the legs beyond the warning
signs.
NOTE:To adjust the bottom leg section
remove the bottom Locking Pin.To
adjust the middle leg section, remove
both Locking Pins.
2.After assessing the proposed location,
select the foot option most appropriate
for the surface (Foot or Spike). Select
Spikes when on uneven surfaces. When
feet are used, ensure the feet are at on
the surface.
3. Correctly orientate one Leg Carrier
to allow insertion of the Top Beam.
Slide the Top Beam into the Leg Carrier,
adjust the Top Beam to the expected
width position and secure with the
attached Locking Pin.
4. Slide the Carriage onto the Top
Beam, adjust to the expected position
(normally the centre of theTop Beam)
and secure with the attached Locking
Pin. No more than two Carriages are
permitted on the Top Beam.
5. Correctly orientate the second Leg
Carrier to allow insertion of the Top
Beam. Slide the Leg Carrier onto the
Top Beam, adjust the Leg Carrier to
the expected width position and secure
with the attached Locking Pin.
6.At this point it may be appropriate to
attach the required rigging or personal
fall protection equipment to the Swivel
Anchor Point(s). Be aware that once
the OBELISK is raised into its working
position these points may be out of
reach.
7. Using additional personnel, if
required, raise the OBELISK upright
by lifting the two legs positioned away
from the ground and then raising the
head assembly upwards, allowing the
OBELISK to pivot on the lower feet into
an upright position.

10. Position the legs so that the
indicators on each Leg Carrier line up
with the leg.This ensures the OBELISK
is set up with the legs at the approved
angle.
11. Install the Leg Restraint Straps (see
section Leg Restraint Straps). Ensure
the straps are adjusted so that all slack
is removed.Where undulations or
obstructions on the worksite surface
prevent a clear path for the Leg
Restraint straps the relevant straps must
be adjusted such that the stability of the
OBELISK is maintained throughout the
activity.Where the strap is forced over
an object causing the strap to raise one
leg off the surface, the OBELISK must
be repositioned.
The OBELISK must never be used
without all four Leg Restraint Straps
correctly tted and adjusted.
Leg Restraint Straps
Leg Restraint Straps are essential for
the structural stability of the OBELISK.
They must be used at all times, in all
congurations.
The ultimate load capacity of the
OBELISK depends on the ability to
secure the feet against movement by
correct use of the Leg Restraint Straps.
In addition to using the Leg Restraint
Straps, it may be appropriate to securely
attach the feet to the surface, e.g.
concrete slab, to prevent movement of
the OBELISK. Direct attachment of the
feet must not be used as a substitute
for correct OBELISK placement (risk of
overloading).
To attach the Leg Restraint Strap, clip
one of the sewn-in quick links onto
the Leg Restraint Strap Attachment
Point on one leg. Extend the strap via
the adjustment buckle and attach the
second quick link onto the Leg Restraint
Strap Attachment Point on the second,
adjacent leg (see gure below). Do not
attach diagonal facing legs together.
Repeat the process until all legs are
linked in a rectangle.
Grasp the tail end of the webbing
exiting each adjustment buckle and
pull, tightening the strap to remove any
slack.Tighten all four straps evenly to
maintain a rectangular foot and ensure
the OBELISK is set up with the legs at
the approved angle (see 10.).

Guy Line Attachment Points
When used as described above, guy
lines are not required. However, in some
circumstances, the user may wish to
maintain the stability of the OBELISK
by xing guy lines to the identied Guy
Line Attachment Points. Guy lines must
not be used as a substitute for correct
OBELISK placement.
Suitable EN 362 locking connectors
must be used to attach the guy line to
the Guy Line Attacment point.
Do not attach any part of the safety
system to the Guy Line Attachment
Points.
Attachment of personal fall
protection equipment
Only attach the rigging or personal
fall protection equipment to a Swivel
Anchor Point using a compatible
EN 362 connector.
No more than two Carriages are
permitted on the Top Beam.
Storage and transport
A storage and transport bag is available
for the OBELISK.
It is recommended that the OBELISK is
stored, clean and dry when not in use –
see maintaining your equipment.
The total weight of the OBELISK is
21 kg. It should be classed as a two
person load when transporting manually.
The accessory transport bag is provided
with a number of carrying handles.
Transport bags are not rated as lifting
accessories - do not use the handles for
lifting, lowering or suspending the bag
and its contents at height.
Inspection
The OBELISK should be subject to:
• Pre-use checks
• Thorough inspections (at least once
every 6 months)
• Interim inspections (as appropriate)
The checks should be undertaken in
good light. Any item showing any defect

General instructions for use
Equipment must be checked before
each use, to ensure it is serviceable and
operates correctly. Checks should also
be carried out during use. In addition,
a thorough inspection by a competent
inspector should be carried out in strict
accordance with these user instructions,
and a record kept of these inspections.
This product may be used with any
compatible item of equipment, keeping
in mind the limitations of each item
in the safety chain. It should be noted
that a full body harness is the only type
of harness which may be used in a fall
arrest system.
The anchor device or anchor point
is of primary importance and should
be unquestionably reliable. It should
be strong enough to withstand the
foreseeable maximum load that could
be applied e.g. in the event of a fall.
When selecting an anchor, the
anticipated directions of loading and
potential loads should be taken into
account.
Anchors should be selected and
positioned to allow work to be carried
out in such a way as to minimise the
potential for a fall and potential fall
distance, for example by keeping the
anchor point / device above the user.
Anchors should not have sharp or rough
edges which could damage equipment
(use edge protection if necessary).
On each occasion of use, verify the
free space required beneath the user in
order to avoid an impact.Always try to
place protection so that any fall will be
stopped before the user hits the ground
or any other obstruction. Remember
to allow for rope stretch and slippage
in the belay device or rope ascender /
descender. In a fall arrest situation, the
user must be protected from dynamic
forces of greater than 6 kN in the
event of a fall, e.g. by use of a fall arrest
system incorporating an EN 355 energy
absorber.
Maintaining your equipment
Wash in clean water not exceeding
30°C with pure soap and rinse in
clean cold water. Do not use chemical
products, solvents or detergents – these
should be regarded as harmful.
Due to the difculties in effectively
disinfecting equipment, we recommend
that any contaminated equipment
should be withdrawn from use and
disposed of in a suitable manner.
Equipment must be clean and dry before
storing.Always allow to dry naturally,
away from direct heat. Equipment should
be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area, away from excessive heat, high
humidity, sharp edges, corrosives,
sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet
light (UV) and other possible causes of
damage.
During transport, this product should
be protected from abrasion, mechanical
damage, chemical contamination, UV
and heat.
