3. Operation
Checks before use :
• Before each use, check that the anchoring de-
vice is in good visible condition, free of marks,
shocks or deformation. Otherwise do not use it
and alert the supervisor.
• Check that the connector of the fall arrest sys-
tem is compatible with the diameter (fig. 3, ref.
E) of the anchoring ring (fig. 1, ref. 1) and that
the opening of the connector is compatible with
the hanging section (fig. 3, ref. G) of the an-
choring point.
« DANGER » : It is essential for the oper-
ator's safety that the connector is properly
locked as soon as it is connected to the
anchoring device.
• After installation, check that the connector(s) of
the fall arrest system(s) align freely in the pos-
sible direction of the operator's fall without risk
of jamming or interference with the body of the
anchoring device (fig. 1, ref. 3) and its fixing el-
ements on the host structure (fig. 2, rep. 9, 10).
• Check the condition of all components of the
associated fall arrest system. Refer to the spe-
cific instructions for each component.
• Check the complete fall arrest system.
• The anchor base is a component of the tracrod
anchor system. This is EN 362 compliant. This
equipment is not a PPE. It is both an anchor-
ing device and also a component of the tracrod
