GB
This notice must be translated (eventually), by the retailer, into the language of the country of use.
For your safety, comply strictly with the instructions for use, verification, maintenance and storage.
KRATOS SAFETY cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident occurring as a result of use other than provided for in this notice; do not use this
equipment beyond its capabilities!
USE AND PRECAUTIONS:
A lanyard is a piece of personal protection equipment; it should be allocated to a single user (it can only be used by one person at a time).
The lanyard will be attached to a system via a connector (EN362).
The extension lanyard FA 10 903 00 must be connected to the dorsal D-Ring of a full body harness (EN361) via the provided Delta quick link (EN362). The
assembly shall be fitted tightly with a 14 flat key.
If the extension lanyard is used in conjunction with an energy absorbing lanyard as fall arrest system, then the set
EXTENSION LANYARD + ENERGY ABSORBING LANYARD + CONNECTORS MUST NOT EXCEED 2M
A lanyard without energy absorber must not be used as a fall arrest system.
Product markings should be checked periodically for legibility.
Webbing Lanyard : resistance > 22 kN.
During the use, take all necessary steps to protect the equipment against any hazards entailed by the operation.
Avoid the use near sharp edges, thin structures or corrosion because they may affect the lanyard performance. Choose a sufficiently strong anchor structure
(min. 10 kN).
The anchorage point of the fall arrest system should be situated above the user (minimum strength: 10 kN). Make sure that the work is done in such a way as to
limit the pendulum effect, as well as the risk and the height of a fall. For safety reasons and before each use, make sure that in the event of a fall there is no obstacle
obstructing the normal deployment of the fall arrest system (free space under the user's feet). The air space under the user's feet should be a minimum of: refer to
the fall arrest system manual.
Before and during use we advise you to make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue if the need should arise.
This equipment is only for the use of people trained, skilled and in good health, or under the supervision of a trained and skilled person. Warning! Certain medical
conditions may affect user safety, in case of doubt, consult your doctor.
Check the condition of the lanyard before every use: visual inspection to check the condition of the straps (no signs of cuts, burns or abnormal shrinkage), the
seams (no visible damage), the metal parts (no deformation or rust) and that the connectors work properly. In the event of deformation or doubt, the lanyard
should not be reused.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the lanyard.
TECHNICAL DATA: Webbing material: Polyester.
SUITABILITY FOR USE:
The lanyard must be used with a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (see standard EN363). A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body-
gripping device that may be used. It may be dangerous to create one's own fall arrest system where each safety function can interfere with another safety function.
Thus, read the instructions concerning each component in the system before use.
VERIFICATION PROCEDURE:
The product has a nominal service life of 10 years (in accordance with the annual examination by a competent person authorized by KRATOS SAFETY),
although its actual service life may be longer or shorter, depending on its usage and/or annual inspection results.
The lanyard must be checked systematically in case of doubt or after a fall and at least every year by the manufacturer or his authorised representative, to
guarantee its resistance and thus the safety of the end-user.
The product data sheet should be completed after each annual product verification.
SERVICING AND STORAGE; (Comply strictly with these instructions)
During transport, keep the lanyard in its bag, well away from any cutting surface.
Clean it with water, wipe it with a rag and hang it up in a well-ventilated location, to let it dry naturally and away from a naked flame or heat source; follow the
same procedure for components that have become damp during use. The lanyard should be stored in its bag in a warm, dry, well-ventilated location. Keep it well
away from all heat sources.
