WARNING

with the safe function of another.
Please note, the information in these
user instructions is not exhaustive, and
is not a substitute for comprehensive
instruction and training by a competent
person.
Lyon Equipment is not responsible
for any consequences, whether direct,
indirect or accidental, resulting from the
use of its products. If you are unsure
about the correct use of this product,
please contact us.

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.
