Deltaplus TRA20 Notice D'utilisation Et D'entretien page 12

For safety reasons and before each use, check:
- that the anchorage complies to the instructions
- that the anchorage is appropriately installed and stable (see installation instructions)
- the D attachment is correctly positioned.
- that the device does not show any sign of corrosion
- that the yearly control of the device is still valid
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met.
- that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in
the case of a fall.
- the vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal
functioning of the fall arrest system.
The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from the
initial position to the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest).
Check that there is enough height below the user according to the equipment used. A height of 2m minimum must be
left below the user's feet. Check that the overall layout restricts swinging to a minimum if a fall should occur.
WARNING:
The attachment point must be located above the user and the work carried out in such a way, as to minimise both the
potential for falls and potential fall distance and it must have a minimum resistance of 12kN according to EN795.
These manipulations can be performed. Under no circumstances should the user open, adjust or operate the equipment
when using the device. only le dispositif doit être utilisé dans des environnements de travail à des températures
minimum de -40°C / maximum +50°C. Permis simultanément: 3 utilisateurs when the risk of falling is avoided.
Before each use, check that the anchor is securely fixed on its support.
This equipment should be operated only by trained, competent and in good health people, or under the supervision of a
trained and competent person.
In case of doubt on the status of the device (traces of oxidation) or after a fall (deformation), it should not be reused and
/ or be returned to the manufacturer or a competent person mandated by them.
It is forbidden to remove, add or replace any component of the anchor without the agreement of the manufacturer.
Temperature: the device should be used in work environments with minimum temperatures of -40°C / maximum of
+50°C.
WARNING:
The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the
instructions in this manual.
WARNING: Any static or dynamic overload may damage the PPE.
The weight of the user, including his clothing and equipment must not exceed the maximum weight of a person
(100kg according to fall arrest standards).
WARNING:
It is dangerous to create your own fall arrest system as each safety function may interfere with another safety function.
No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer nor
without using their procedures.
Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that
provided in this manual.
Should the anchoring device be used solely for personal protective equipment against falls and not for lifting equipment.
When the anchor is used as part of a fall arrest system, the user must be equipped with means for limiting the maximum
dynamic forces exerted on the user during a fall arrest, to a maximum of 6 kN.
Provide a safe distance from power lines or areas with an electrical hazard.
USAGE LIMITS:
Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the
operation.
SHELF LIFE
Metal products and mechanical products (self retracting fall arrest device, sliding, work on ropes, anchors etc. ...) :
Maximum duration of 20 years from the date of manufacture (including storage and use).
The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly:
- Non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use
- "Aggressive" work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges...
- Particularly intensive use
- Shock or significant constraint
- Disregard for the product item's history.
Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye.
