13. A full body harness in accordance with EN 361 is
the only equipment around the body that may be
used in a fall-arrest system; secure it to the point
marked A on the harness.
14. It is essential for operator safety that the device or
anchor point is correctly positioned and that work
is carried out so as to minimise the risk of falls and
the height.
15. For the operator’s safety, if the product is re-
sold outside the initial destination country, the
distributor must supply: an instruction manual and
maintenance instructions for periodic inspections
and repairs, all written in the language of the
product’s country of use.
16. In addition to fall protection equipment, it is essential
for the safety of the operator and supervisor that
they use personal protective equipment such as

when handling and using this product.
17. The product may only be used with the associated
equipment described in this manual. (See chapter
8, Associated equipment.)
18. This product may only be used in the presence of at
least two operators.
19. Do not use more than two associated pieces of
equipment on the product at the same time.
20. Danger While using several pieces of equipment
where the safety function of one may a󰀨ect or
interfere with the safety function of another.
21. Before use, the supervisor and operator must read
and understand the information in the EN 1496 and
EN 360 device manuals, the permanent bases for
Davitrac and davimast manual and Davitrac manual.
NOTE:
For any special application, contact Tractel®.

5. Installation
For information on how to use the systems attached
to the brackets, see the manuals supplied with each
system.
Before positioning the Davitrac bracket on the mast of
the Davitrac, the operator must ensure that the mast
is placed correctly on its base and that the base is
securely attached to the structure in accordance with
the Davitrac base instructions.
The Davitrac anchor bracket may only be tted on the
mast of the Davitrac.
They are equipped with keying devices designed to
position the bracket at the top or bottom of the Davitrac
mast.
The Davitrac brackets are equipped with locking pins
with a safety pin, connected by a steel cablet.
When only one system is installed, it must be installed
at the rear of the mast:
• A Scafor™ R or Carol™ winch is placed in the
high position (g. 3.a); and
• The Blocfor™ R fall-arrest device is in the low
position (g. 3.b).
When several systems are installed, they must be
installed as follows:
• A Scafor™ R or Carol™ winch is placed in the
high position at the rear of the mast (g. 3.c); and
• The Blocfor™ R fall-arrest device is in the low
position at the front of the mast (g. 3.c).
No other conguration is permitted.
Depending on the positioning of your system, route
the cable over the transfer pulleys (g. 3). For front-
mounted equipment, the cable should pass over the
front pulley. For rear-mounted equipment, the cable
should pass over the rear pulley.
The position of the anchor head can be set to three
positions as required. Always lock it into position with
its safety pin.
NOTE: No other assembly than those set out
above is permitted without the written approval of
Tractel®.
NOTE: The stated loads are the maximum
values applicable, which must not in any event be
multiplied by the number or anchor points located on
the head or mast of Davitrac.

6. Use
DANGER: The presence of a second
operator nearby is essential to carry out a
possible evacuation.
The rescue operations to be planned must have been
studied beforehand in order to dene the human
resources and equipment to be used to rescue the
injured person within a period of less than 15 minutes.
After that time, the operator is in danger.
Throughout the rescue phase, there must be
direct or indirect visual contact or other means of
communication between the rescuer and other
persons involved in the rescue.
For rescue operations, the use of a comfortable
harness EN 813 (type Promast™, Transport,
Emergency) or a harness equipped with an EN 1497
emergency shoulder strap is recommended.
6.1. Blocfor™ 20R and 30R
After a fall, the mechanism of the Blocfor™ is locked.
To evacuate the operator up or down, engage the
recovery mechanism by pushing the lock button and
then operate the crank.
The self-retracting fall-arrest system Blocfor™ 20R and
30R 150 kg is equipped with two handles to facilitate
its handling and use in rescue by lifting by holding the
equipment handle with one hand and the crank handle
with the other.
For information on how to use the Blocfor™ 20R and
30R device in fall arrest mode, see the Blocfor™ EN
360 instructions.
6.1.1. Rescue operation with Blocfor™ R
6.1.1.1. Activating the recovery function
See gure 6.1.
• (1) Press the red lock button to engage the recovery
function.
• (2) Pull and turn the crank to recover the operator:
• Clockwise to go up; or
• Anti-clockwise to go down.
6.1.1.2. Return to the fall arrest function
6.1.1.2.1. Rewinding the cable in the device
See gure 6.2.
When the recovery is complete, rewind the entire cable
into the unit by turning the crank clockwise.
DANGER: Do not disengage the recovery
function from the unit if the cable is not fully wound
in the housing, otherwise the cable may rewind itself
at high speed.
6.1.1.2.2. Disengaging the recovery function
See gure 6.3
• To disengage the winch mechanism, press the red
button (1) and the crank shaft (2) simultaneously.
• Make sure that the crank handle is positioned
vertically, with the handle at the top so that this
operation can be carried out.
• Pull the handle (3) before folding it back (4).
DANGER:
Any lifting operation with Blocfor™ R is prohibited.
The winch system is intended for rescue operations
only.

but a sub-assembly of a system; it must be compatible
with the system it is used with.
12.1.1. Composition of the cable
The cable is made of galvanised steel or stainless steel.
To be used, the cables must have a manufactured
buckle at the end made by Tractel®.
The terminal must be:
