simultaneously. The rope bridges
should be of equal length. They are
there for redundancy so that if one
rope bridge is e.g. cut, the other one
will take over.
It is also possible to use the ring on
one rope bridge only. A rope bridge
without ring or swivel must not be
used. Alternatively one ring may be

used on one rope bridge each. This
allows for easier change from one
anchor point to another and the two
rope bridges may be adjusted to
dierentlengths.Asecondringmay
be purchased at Teufelberger. (see
chapter on replacement parts) Note:
Both rope bridges must be mounted
on the harness, even if only one is
used.
The climber shall fully equip the har-
ness for the task to be performed, then
hang in suspension and adopt a range
of work positions to ensure that the
harnessisproperlytted,comfortable
and suitable for the task. Leg and back
paddings are attached to the harness
by hook-and-loop fastener and can be
removed for cleaning and put back in
place.

The Cobra FX25 buckles of tree-

elastic cover that is easy to push
back. It is there to protect the buck-

mean e.g. slipping of the user´s feet.
Choose the connection of the harness
to an anchorage point at a level which
will result in the least total fall distance
consistent with the user’s ability to
carry out work tasks.
When making any connection to a point
on a harness which cannot be seen by
the wearer of the harness, either make
it before putting the harness on or have

one piece of webbing with sewn
terminating eyes available in three
lengths (40 / 45 / 50 cm). Only one
webbing bridge is used. A set of
two rope bones, four screws and
self-locking screw nuts (art.no.
7350160) is required to mount this
type of webbing bridge.
If the sheath of the rope bridge is rup-
tured by any means (e.g. cutting, heating
or abrasion) or a tactile inspection of
thecoreidentieschangesindiameter
or rope properties, the rope bridge shall
be replaced immediately by, or under
the supervision of, a competent person.
For replacement, it is imperative that you
use only the replacement parts approved
by the manufacturer and diligently follow
the instructions accompanying the spare
part(s). Before using the equipment again,
be sure to verify that the spare part has
been replaced correctly. If you lack the
experience, skills, and knowledge that are
necessary for this job, please consult a
compentent person or the manufacturer.
In general, repairs may only be carried
out by the manufacturer.
Additional tests were carried out at TÜV
with DMM small Axis swivel-SW 100 used
on the rope bridge instead of the green
ring. The quoted swivel may therefore
be used as an alternative option on
a single rope bridge or on two rope
bridges simultaneously.
The swivel must not be used with a
webbing bridge.

6. TOBEOBSERVEDPRIORTOUSE
Prior to using it, this product must be subject
to a visual inspection in order to verify
its integrity, readiness for use and proper
functioning.
Once the product has been subject to a fall,
its use must be discontinued immediately.
If the slightest doubt remains, the product
must be retired or may not be used again
until a competent person, having subjected
such product to the required testing and
inspections, has approved its further use
in writing.
It must be ensured that the recommen-
dations for use with other components

REGULAR CHECKS

Clean dirty COBRA® buckles in luke-
warm water (if necessary using neutral
soap). Rinse them well. Dry at room
temperature, never in an electric dryer
or near electric radiators. Use only ap-
proved household disinfection liquids
not any containing halogen as needed.
The joints of all metal parts must be
relubricated with a dry lubricant regular-
ly, particularly following cleaning (such
dry lubricants perform their lubricating
function even when in a dry state so
that no dust or dirt can cling to it).

Keep away from corrosive acids, bases,
liquids, vapours, gases etc. Be careful
withtreeexsudates!Theymaybesur-
prisingly aggressive. If you think damage
has occurred as a result of contact with
an agressive substance:
1. Quarantine the product and label it
in an obvious way so that it can not
be used by mistake;
2.Send as much detail as possible
about your concerns to the manu-
facturer;
3.Do not use the product again unless
the manufacturer replied (in writing)
that it may be returned to service.
WARNING
If any part of the harness is to be exposed
to chemicals, e.g. cleaning materials or
hazardous atmospheres, the user should
consult the manufacturer before to de-
termine whether the part is suitable for
continued use.
8. REGULAR CHECKS
Checking the equipment at regular inter-
vals is absolutely necessary: your safety
dependsontheeectivenessanddura-
bilityoftheequipment!
Following each use, the product should
be checked for abrasion and cuts. Also
check it for the legibility of the product
labelling!Theuseofdamagedcompo-
nents or components subjected to a fall
must be discontinued at once. If there
is only the slightest doubt, the product
needs to be retired or subjected to testing
by a competent person.
When using the equipment in occupation-
al health and safety to EN 365, it must
be checked at least every 12 months and
when using to AS/NZS 1891.1 at least
onceevery6monthsbyadulyqualied
person strictly observing the instruc-
tions, or else by the manufacturer, and it
must, whenever necessary, be replaced.
These inspections must be documented
(documentation of equipment; cf. table).
Refer to national regulations for inspec-
tion intervals.
This inspection must comprise:
– Inspection of the general condition:
age, completeness, dirt, correct
composition.
– Inspection of the labels: Present?
Legible? CE marking present? Year

of production visible?
– Inspection of the individual parts for
mechanical damage such as cuts,
cracks, notches, abrasion, deforma-
tion, ribbing, curling, squashing.
– Inspection of all individual parts for
damage caused by heat or chemi-
cals, such as fusion or hardening.
– Inspection of the metal parts for
corrosion and deformation.
– Inspection of the completeness of
the end connections, stiching (e.g.
no abrasio of sewing thread) seams,
splices, (e.g. no splippage), knots.
Again, the following rule applies: If there
is only the slightest doubt, the product
needs to be retired or subjected to test-
ingandbyadulyqualiedperson.
9. SERVICE LIFE
Its theoretically possible period of use is
up 5 years from the time when the prod-
uctisrstremovedfromtheundamaged
package (only when used infrequently
(1 week per year) and stored properly
(see Chapter “Transport, Storage and
Cleaning”)). The product must be retired
no later than after 5 years of use. It is as-
sumed that the product will be removed
from its package upon purchase. We
recommend keeping the sales receipt.
The theoretically possible total lifetime
(properstoragepriortorstremoval+
use) is limited to 8 years from the date
of manufacture.
The actual useful life depends solely on
the condition of the product, which in
turnisinuencedbyvariousfactors(see
below).Extremeinuencesmayshorten
service life to a single use only or to even
less if the equipment is damaged prior
toitsrstuse(e.g.intransport).
Mechanical wear and other influenc-
es such as the impact of sunlight will
decrease the life span considerably.
Bleachedorabradedbres,discolor-
ation, and hardened spots are certain
indicators that the product needs to
be retired.
Itisclearlynotpossibletooerageneral
statement about the product’s service
life, as such life span depends on various
factors, e.g. UV light, type and frequency
ofuse,handling,climaticinuencessuch
as ice or snow, environments such as
salt, sand, battery acid etc., heat con-
tamination (above normal climatic con-
ditions), mechanical deformation and/or
distortion,…(incompletelist!),
In general, the following rule applies: If
the user, for whatever reason – however
insignicantitmayseem–isuncertain
whether or not the product meets all the
necessary criteria, either reject it from
service and render unusable, or place
in quarantine and label in an obvious
manner so that it cannot be used by
mistake. Only return to service following
the written authorisation of a competent
person.
Withdraw equipment from service if it
has been used to arrest a fall.
