General Information
Information – read carefully
Read and understand this manual before using this Product. The
manual must be available in the national language at all times. If
not available, then the vendor has to resolve this matter with
SKYLOTEC prior to sale. The instructions must be made available
to the user. The equipment may only be used by professional
users, who have received training in its safe usage and who
possess the required knowledge. A rescue plan must be available
for any eventuality. It must be possible to implement rescue
measures in a timely manner.
Rescue system
A rescue system consists of the illustrated individual components
and may only be used with tested and approved components under
the described application conditions; failure to comply represents a
risk of serious or fatal injury. Anchoring points should be selected/
positioned directly above the victim, if possible.The anchor point
must meet the requirements of EN 795 for the scope of application.
Also, the substructure to which the anchoring device is fastened,
and the connecting elements have to be able to withstand the load.
Prior to use
Check the complete personal protective equipment (PPE) and its
individual components for damage, cracks or wear (including
snaphooks, straps, textile and metal components, adjusting
devices, locks); complete function must be assured. If unsure the
component is in a safe condition, remove immediately.
The equipment must be immediately removed from service after a
fall and checked by an expert. If it can no longer be used, it must be
disposed.
Safety requirements
The instructions on protecting the user and the equipment must be
strictly complied with! The product label must be completely legible!
In order to avoid a suspension trauma in case of a fall, there must
be an rescue plan available that is designed to reduce the amount
of time suspended while wearing a harness, and consequently to
prevent a circulatory collapse. It is an important requirement for the
user to check all attachment and/or adjustment parts regularly
during use.
• Application temperature -35 to +40 °C
• Store dry and protected from light and transport correctly
• Avoid contact with corrosive substances
• Consider danger of suspension trauma
• Avoid edge loading and watch out for abrasive surfaces.
• Consider danger from electrical equipment
• Consider danger by moving machine parts

where there is a risk of falling.

Inspection and service life
A regular review of local regulations is required. In Europe, for
example, an annual audit by an expert is necessary. The
replacement state depends on the product, its frequency of use
and the external application conditions. All PPE unavoidably loses
durability over the course of its service life. This is accelerated by
UV rays, heat, chemicals, aggressive atmospheres, dirt. You must
do a review and documentation of the whole system with all single
components according to local legislation (min. once a year), by an
expert. For the documentation you nd a controll card under point
6).
