IKAR ACB 1.8 Mode D'emploi page 15

16. The IKAR fall arrester can be used in conformity with EN 360:2002 within a temperature range
between - 40°C (-22°F) and +50°C (+122°F) (
17. The admissible nominal load of the person to be secured is 136kg (
18. Fall arresters should be protected against the impact of welding flames and sparks, fire, acidic substances,
alkaline substances and the like.
19. Do not apply any modifications or repairs to the fall arrester (
Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or persons trained and authorised by the manufacturer.
20. Fall arresters may be used only by persons who have been trained accordingly or have been instructed
by a competent person. The person using the device should not have any physical or health impairments.
(Alcohol, drug or medication abuse, cardiovascular problems)
21. The service life of the fall arrester should be determined during each annual inspection; depending on wear, it
is approx. 10 years.
22. The suitability for use of a fall arrester with horizontal fall protection in conformity with the current standards
should be verified by suitable tests on the complete system.
1. The webbing should be rolled up only with a load applied. Never pull the webbing out entirely and then
release it, as the sudden impact of the snap hook on the device may cause the return spring to break (
2. The retractable lanyard is made of PES / Dyneema and should be cleaned with warm water or neutral
cleaning agents only. Do not use thinner or the like. Use clean water to rinse away any cleaning agent
residue.
3. Attention: Please note! The fall arresters should be stored and transported in a dry, dust-free and oil-free
environment.
4. Textile components which have become wet due to cleaning or use should be dried by natural means only.
Do not dry near fire or similar sources of heat.
5. Before using disinfectants, you have to contact the manufacturer due to the complex legal product
classifications based on the specific applications and constituents.
Please note: The fall arresting device has been successfully tested for horizontal application and a fall over the
edge simulated from this. Here an edge radius
r = 0.5 mm was used for fall arresting devices with fastener made from webbing (
arresting device is suitable for use over similar edges with a radius of r ≥ 0.5 mm (
typically present on rolled steel profiles, on wooden beams or on a panelled, rounded fascias.
1. A risk assessment should be carried out prior to starting work. If the edge over which a fall may occur is a
particularly "cutting" edge and / or is not free of burrs (e.g. uncovered parapet or sharp, reinforced sheet
metal edge), appropriate precautions should be taken prior to starting work.
- a fall over the edge should be excluded
and
- the max. working load of the devices (
and
- an edge protector should be installed prior to starting work
In cases of doubt it is recommended to contact the manufacturer.
2. The anchor point of the fall arrester should not be below the surface (e.g. platform, flat roof) the person using
the device is standing on (
