The warranty period is 12 months and starts with the handover of the products to the
customer at the place of fullment, at the latest with the delivery to the customer.
If work performance, including work deliveries about non-fungibles, is the subject
matter of the contract, the warranty period starts with the acceptance in terms of
paragraph 640 BGB.
We take over the costs accruing for the purpose of mending (in particular transport,
shipping, work, and material expenses). If these expenses are increased, because the
objects were transported to another location than the delivery location of the customer
after our delivery, he/she has to bear the additional costs, unless the transfer corresponds
the intended use. If we decide for mending a defect, the customer has to enable the
execution of work immediately and provide us with the objected goods for examination
and processing.
Costs resulting from possibly unjustied claims are borne by the customer. These will
be charged according to expense.
Should the rectication or replacement delivery fail, the customer is entitled to claim
reduction of payment or withdraw from the contract without prejudice for possible
claims for damages.
Warranty claims are excluded in case of only unsubstantial deviations from the
agreed condition and only unsubstantial impairment of usability.

General safety requirements and recommendations:
• Only competent persons should use this equipment.
• Users should ensure that all inspection and service procedures are followed
and that the equipment is in good order. AS/NZS 1891.4 (Selection Use and
Maintenance) and SKYLOTEC recommend that inspection of our products is
conducted before and after each use. Do not use the product if there is any doubt
about its ability to perform as required.
• Connection to the harness must only be via the appropriate connection points i.e.
where there is a risk of free fall, connection shall only be made to the connection
point labelled ‘Fall Arrest’.
• Users shall be connected to at least one fall-arrest system whenever they are at
risk of a fall.
• Systems and equipment shall be used in such a way as to minimise as far
practicable the fall distance, e.g. selecting shorter length Personal Energy
Absorbers or by using an SRL. Total‘free fall’distance shall not exceed 2mt.
• Fit and use fall-arrest equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Handle fall-arrest equipment carefully to ensure parts are not damaged.
• Equipment found to be defective should be tagged “Out of Service” and either
repaired as per the manufactures instructions or destroyed.
• Fall-arrest systems shall only be used where adequate ‘fall clearance’ distance has
been determined for that system to operate correctly.
• Equipment that has been exposed to a fall situation or ‘loaded’ shall be tagged
“Out of Service”and referred to the manufacturer for inspection.
• All equipment shall be checked for correct assembly before placing any load on it.
Place particular attention on ensuring clothing has not become entrapped in snap
hooks or other connectors.
• After use the equipment shall be stored in a clean, dry environment and out of
direct sunlight.
Maintenance
SKYLOTEC equipment must be inspected prior to and after each use. Additionally
its condition shall be recorded by a competent person every 6 months regardless
of whether apparent deterioration is evident. A designated ‘Height Safety Equipment
Inspector’ must maintain a record log of servicing & inspection dates for this
equipment. (See AS/NZS 1891.4 for guidance on inspection cycles)
Cleaning may be conducted with SKYLOTEC ‘SKYWASH’ or Luke warm water with
mild soap. Rinse parts in Luke warm water after cleaning. After cleaning & drying,

store the equipment in a dry, dark cool position, away from chemicals, corrosives,
high humidity, sharp objects, U.V radiations, salt environment, or any other possible
causes of damage. Do not store the equipment wet.
Suspension Intolerance (Trauma).
This is a natural human reaction to being held upright and immobile e.g. suspended
inanimate in a harness. Blood pools in the legs potentially leading to unconsciousness.
If the condition is allowed to develop unchecked, it could be fatal. An eective RESCUE plan
is necessary to ensure that a person can be removed from the suspension position as
quickly as possible
.
Following are the recommendations of AS/NZS 1891-4: 2000.
Although the condition is still being researched, it is recommended that certain
measures be taken to reduce the eects of this condition or delay its onset. It
appears to help if the person is suspended in a substantially horizontal position or
with the knees elevated, and with the opportunity to pump the legs, ideally with the
feet against a rm surface. The person should be encouraged to maintain leg activity
by both moving the legs and where possible pushing against a rm surface at regular
intervals until retrieval can be eected.
Rescue.
An eective rescue plan should be implemented whenever workers are at work at
height or in conned space applications.
Terminology:
Free-Fall, Arrest. A fall or the arrest of a fall where the fall distance before the fall-
arrest system begins to take any loading, is in excess of 600mm either vertically or
on a slope on which it is not possible to walk without the assistance of a handrail or
hand line. A fall arrest system shall be designed to stop the free fall of a user and limit
the maximum arresting forces imposed on the user to 6kN or less.
Limited Free-Fall, Arrest. A fall or the arrest of a fall but where the total fall distance
will NOT exceed 600mm.
Restrained Fall, Arrest. A fall or the arrest of a fall where the person suering the
fall is partially restrained by a restraining device such as a Pole Strap under tension.

into the webbing fabric with a brush. Rinse o with clean water and wipe as dry as
possible with a clean cloth.
Following cleaning, the equipment should be left to dry thoroughly hanging freely in a
position where it will not be exposed to excessive heat or steam.
STORAGE:
Harnesses and Personal Engery Absorbers need to be stored in a clean, cool, dry area
free of chemical fumes or corrosive elements. Never store in areas where there is
direct sunlight. Preferably, equipment should, when not required for use, be kept in
properly designed cabinets which permit ventilation. In making provision for storage,
it should be kept in mind that no part of the equipment be subjected to unnecessary
strain, pressure, excessive heat or humidity. During storage, it should not be possible
for the
equipment to come into contact with sharp implements, corrosives or other likely
causes of damage.
For particular and more specic information on selection and maintenance of
equipment, consultation of AS/NZS 1891.4 should be undertaken.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN INSPECTING A HARNESS:
Inspect all machine sewing’s for broken stitches or worn threads – special attention
should be given to the stitch patterns which retain load bearing components, e.g.
hooks, ‘D’rings, buckles and adjusters. Inspect all labels ensuring that they are legible
and adequately secured.
Inspect all metal components
• Buckles – check for distortion, sharp edges, burrs, cracks or worn parts. If
applicable, ensure moving parts function satisfactorily.
• ‘D’ Rings – check for distortion, sharp edges, burrs, cracks or worn parts.
• Snap Hooks – check snap action, ensuring the return spring is functioning correctly
and that there is no sideways play on the latch in the closed position. Check for
distortion, sharp edges, burrs, cracks or worn parts.
•
Automatic Locking Hooks and Carabiners - check that the trigger opens fully
and that it returns itself and automatically revolves the ferrule into the locked
position. Check for distortion, sharp edges, burrs, cracks or worn parts. The automatic
locking action can become impaired by the ingress of sand, dust, etc. Cleanse
by soaking in paran. If the automatic locking action is clogged with mud soak in
hot water to restore action to normal.
• Screwgate Carabiners – check snap action and that screw ferrule functions
satisfactorily. Check for distortion, sharp edges, burrs, cracks or worn parts.
FOR PLATED COMPONENTS, CHECK FOR BREAKDOWN IN PROTECTION AND
SIGNS OF CORROSION. ANY HARNESS, OR PERSONAL ENGERY ABSORBERS
WITH SUSPECTED FAULTS SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWN FROM
SERVICE AND, IF THE FAULT CANNOT BE RECTIFIED, MUST BE DESTROYED.
SERVICE:
Remove from service and destroy all Harnesses, Pole Straps and Personal Energy
Absorbers that are 10 years old from the date of manufacture.
CLEANING:
Harnesses, Personal Engery Absorbers and Anchor loops made from man-made
bres should be regularly cleaned. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the
conditions in which they are being used but in any event, the period between cleanings
should not exceed 3 months.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING:
First wipe o all surface dirt, mud, dust, etc., with a damp sponge. Rinse out the
sponge then, using SKYLOTEC Skywash or a mild solution of water and household
detergent, thoroughly lather. Finish o by rinsing with clean water and wiping as dry
as possible with a clean cloth. To remove heavy deposits of grease or creosote, use
a diluted solution of heavy-duty detergent cleaner and water. Work the diluted liquid

• ABRASION:
Generally arises as a result of the rope being passed over a sharp edge whilst
under tension. Usually damage manifests itself as broken bres, yarns or strands.
Any signicant damage should be cause for the rope to be tagged out of service
and destroyed.
• CUTS, NICKS, ETC:
Ropes found to have cuts, nicks, etc., are to be considered as potentially
dangerous and are to be taken out of service immediately and destroyed.
• CHEMICAL ATTACK:
Usually indicated by a change in colour and local weakening or softening of the
section aected so that surface bres can be rubbed o as powder in extreme
cases. If contamination is suspected, the rope must be taken out of service
and destroyed.
• HEAT:
The following are signs that a rope has been subjected to extreme heat –
charring, singeing or fusing of the bres. If any of these are apparent, the rope
must be tagged out of service and destroyed.
• SUNLIGHT DAMAGE:
Any textile products exposed to intense sunlight will be aected by ultra violet
light. This is detectable by a pronounced fading of the dye colour. In extreme cases
items aected must be taken out of service and destroyed.
• OVERLOADING:
Ropes which have been subjected to heavy loads display the following
characteristics; reduction in rope diameter, or after severe loading the rope will
be unusually rigid. A rope showing any abnormal characteristics should be tagged
out of service and destroyed. Inspection of ropes for the foregoing causes of
deterioration should be carried out as follows:
1. Lay out Personal Energy Absorber along workbench.
2. Start at one end, working along to the opposite end, rotate the rope or
Personal Energy Absorber slowly, checking the circumference for defects.
3. Check that rope end stitch patterns are sound and that ends are protected
with a rubber or plastic sleeve.
4. Ensure thimbles are correctly seated and a tight t.

HARNESSES AND LANYARDS ARE CATEGORISED
BY AS/NZS 1891.1: 2007 STANDARD AS FOLLOWS:
FULL BODY HARNESS: A full body harness comprises a single assembly of
interconnected shoulder and leg straps which may incorporate a waist or other
horizontal straps designed to increase the bearing area on the body and designed to
prevent the user from falling out of the harness during a fall. It shall not be capable
of being separated into two or more pieces. A full body harness shall be used in any
situation where a free fall of more than 600mm is possible. It is also recommended
for use in conjunction with a pole strap for pole or tower work provided the harness
is tted with the appropriate side attachment points.
Attachment points are provided on full body harnesses as follows;
• At least one centre front attachment point at the chest, waist or both.
• A rear attachment point at the dorsal but never at the rear waist level.
The above points can all be used for fall-arrest.
• Side attachment points at waist level may be provided exclusively for use in pairs
for attachment of a pole strap. For this purpose the harness needs to have a waist
belt or strap as part of the design.
• A harness designed for conned space entry is to include retrieval points at the
shoulders to allow lifting in a manner that will have the user in a head-up position.
For SKYLOTEC harnesses a spreader bar with wrist loops shall be used.
Lower Body Harness: A lower body harness is an assembly of an adjustable waist
belt connected to a pair of leg loops by means of front straps and a sitting strap which
passes under the pelvis area so as to support the buttock area in a sitting position. It
should be used with a pole strap o the side ‘D’ rings or with a 300mm lanyard o
the centre waist ‘D’ ring. Caution should be exercised when wearing a lower body
harness as a user may slip out of the lower body harness if they are inverted.
Lanyards: The purpose of a lanyard is to connect a harness to an anchorage point.
The lanyard is designed to limit the force on the harness attachment point during
the arrest of a fall to 6kN.This is achieved in all SKYLOTEC lanyards by the use of a
Personal Energy Absorber as part of the assembly. The assembly is made up of a
lanyard, which may be in the form of synthetic fiber rope or webbing, or steel wire
rope and a Personal Energy Absorber.
SKYLOTEC lanyards are available in the following congurations:
• Single-line lanyard – A single line of xed or adjustable length with a personal
energy absorber and various end anchor hardware options.
SKYLOTEC – High Protection. Best Performance 21
damage to the weave pattern shall be cause for rejection. Slight surface damage
and the occasional torn yarn may be considered acceptable.
• CUTS, NICKS, BURNS ETC: These, if found anywhere on a harness or personal
energy absorber, are to be considered as potentially dangerous and must lead to
immediate tagging out of service and destruction of equipment.
• CHEMICAL ATTACK: Usually indicated by discolouration and local weakening or
softening of the webbing. The surface bres, in extreme circumstances, can be
rubbed o as a powder. If found, tag out of service and destroy.
• HEAT: Webbings aected by heat become brown and brittle and in extreme cases,
break when exed. If found, tag out of service and destroy.
INSPECTION OF WEBBINGS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT AS FOLLOWS:
1. Lay out product on work bench – major damage or wear will immediately be
apparent.
2. For detailed inspection, take a section of the webbing and form an arch of
approximately 100mm between your hands. With the outside of the webbing
being raised, the resulting surface tension will highlight any broken bres, stitches,
cuts, etc.
3. Pass the webbing through your hands until the whole of the product has been
visually inspected, It is a good idea to mark o the separate straps with chalk to
indicate those inspected and to avoid the possibility of missing one out.
INSPECTION OF MAN-MADE FIBRE ROPES:
The following information details the principal causes of deterioration in man-made
bre ropes and indicates the signs by which they can be recognised.
ABRASION WARNING:
Attachment lines, Lanyards etc can be damaged and weakened by contact with sharp
edges or abrasive surfaces. Always exercise care when working in situations where
ropes could be maltreated.
• EXTERNAL WEAR:
Usually follows from the rope being dragged over rough surfaces and results in
a general reduction of the cross section of the strands. In extreme cases, the
strands become so worn that the yarns are severed on the outer side. In normal
use, minor disarrangement or breakage of the outer bres along the length of the
rope is unavoidable. Provided it is not too extensive this may be considered accep-
table.

6) Do not connect a snap hook directly into the end loops of the anchor loop.
The snap hook can be connected to the end loops of the anchor sling by a
carabiner. An approved connector, such as a carabiner or shackle, must be used in
environments where temperatures exceed 194 F (90C ).
7) SKYLOTEC Anchor loops are to be designated and used solely for approved
applications.
INSPECTION OF HARNESSES
AND PERSONAL ENERGY ABSORBING LANYARDS
All SKYLOTEC Harnesses and Personal Energy Absorbers are made to comply with
the exacting strength requirements of AS/NZS 1891.1: 2007 and only the highest
quality materials are used in their manufacture. The manufacturing process is
conducted under an ISO 9001 Quality System. To ensure these products are
maintained in safe working order, the following procedures must be adhered to.
Thoroughly inspect each item of equipment before and after each use for wear,
deterioration or damage. As per AS/NZS 1891.4, the equipment shall be examined by
a competent person, other than the user, and a record kept of this examination on
an appropriate Inspection Record Card. See Inspection / Record Card at rear of this
manual. Equipment found to be damaged or suspect shall not be returned to service
until the necessary repairs have been aected, if such can be carried out.
INSPECTION OF ANCHOR SLINGs
SKYLOTEC Anchor Slings shall be inspected by the user before each use and
additionally by a competent person other than the user at intervals of no more than
one year. Detailed inspections must be recorded in the inspection log. Remove
anchor sling from service immediately if:
• The product has been subjected to the forces of a fall.
• Label is missing or illegible.
• There is evidence of defects, improper function, or alterations of any portion.
• If inspection reveals evidence of defects or damage including tears, abrasions,
undue stretching, mildew/mold, missing or broken threads, chemical attack,
excessive heating, excessive aging, or excessive wear.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN INSPECTING MAN-MADE FIBRE WEBBINGS:
The following information details the principal causes of deterioration in man-made
ber webbings and indicates the signs by which they can be recognised.
• GENERAL SURFACE ABRASION: This occurs due to contact with abrasive
surfaces and is easily recognisable as the webbing us up along the surface. This
often occurs in normal use and is harmless if not too extensive. Man-made bre
webbings have very good abrasion resistance.
• ABRASION: Usually caused as a result of the webbing being passed over a sharp
edge whilst under tension. Any reduction in the width and thickness or severe
SKYLOTEC – High Protection. Best Performance 9
• Twin-tail lanyard – A lanyard comprising two xed length tails each of which
separately meets all the requirements of a single line lanyard. A Personal Energy
Absorber and various end anchor hardware options make up the assembly.
• SKYLOTEC oers a Lanyard Stowage Point for attachment of the unused tail with
each twin lanyard sold.
NOTE: When estimating total free fall distance and clearance distances required, the
anchorage point and extension of the Personal Energy Absorber needs to be taken
into account. It is recommended that structural anchorage points for connection of
equipment where possible are always positioned above the user of the equipment.
Pole Straps: A Pole Strap is to be used to support a worker on a pole during normal
working and in the event of a restrained fall. It may be used with a full body or lower
body harness by attachment to the ‘D’ rings located at the hips and identied as pole
strap attachment points. Pole straps are designed so that they constantly remain
under tension once in the working position.
Anchorage Connectors: An anchor sling is used as a link between the anchor
structure and a connector, such as a locking snap hook or carabiner on a fall arrest
lanyard. Applications include most fall arrest systems, restraint systems, and rescue
systems. SKYLOTEC Anchor Slings are available in several dierent lengths to suit
various anchor structures. The SKYLOTEC Anchor Sling is intended for use by one
person only.
Inspect all equipment before each use.
Any item showing excessive wear or deterioration should be tagged
‘Out of Service’and destroyed.
Failure to observe proper inspection and usage procedures could result
in permanent injury or death.
Do not make alterations or additions to any SKYLOTEC products without
the express permission of SKYLOTEC. Failure to do so will void all
warranties and could result in severe injury or death as a result of any
non approved alterations or additions.
