3. Warning
•The weight of the user including his clothes and tools must be comprised between 110 and
310 lbs.
•Consult with your doctor if there is reason to doubt your fitness to safely absorb the shock
from a fall arrest, Age, fitness, and health conditions can seriously affect a worker's ability to
withstand falls. Pregnant women and minors must not use any Fallprotec Fall Protection
equipment.
•The Securail Pro + Granvia 4 system must not be used as a work positioning system, in which
case a separate holding system must be used.
•Handling of the fall arrest system while climbing or descending may interfere with the braking
mechanism. If necessary, handle the fall arrester by its connector, never take in hand the
body of the fall arrester while in service.
•The user is not protected against the impact on the ground during the first 7’. Additional
precautions must be taken when climbing or descending.
•In case of rescue the rail can be used to guide the descent to the ground of the person.

must be minimum 20’.
4. Prohibited use
Only one user working at height, but without the support of a second person able to provide
assistance if needed.
The use of the lifeline if the temperature is below -22 F°.
Hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment are:
•Deposit of ice, concrete or dust on the rail.
•The insertion of a lanyard between the energy absorber permanently connected to the
Granvia4 trolley and the harness. This increases the braking distance.
•The insertion of a lanyard allowing the user to work completely offset relative to the rail.
The user will be subjected to a swing fall which may be not stopped.
The energy absorber has been deployed and is longer than 4”.
In case of a storm or other dangerous climatic conditions.
