Tractel FABA-Klassik A11 514208 Instructions D'emploi Et D'entretien page 20

permitted to make modifications or
additions to the equipment after you
have obtained written authorisation
from TRACTEL ® .
10. The fall arrest slider must never be
used beyond its limits or in situations
that it has not been designed to cope
with.
11. The complete FABA™ climbing
protection system and all the asso-
ciated integral parts of the fall arrest
system must never be used for any
other purpose that the one that they
were designed for or under any other
conditions other than the ones listed in
this manual. The fall arrest slider must
never be used to suspend the user
(exception: when suspended after a
fall and during the subsequent rescue
operations).
12. The FABA™ fall arrest slider,
especially the constituent textile
parts, must never be allowed to come
into contact with aggressive materials
(e.g. acids and leaches, paint and
varnish, excessive heat and open
fi res or sharp edges, etc.). If this does
happen, the relevant fall arrest slider
must be withdrawn from use and can
only be used again after a qualifi ed
person trained and certifi ed by Tractel
has given written permission for it to
be used again.
13. Each user must be assigned a
personal fall arrest slider. You must al-
ways abide by the accident prevention
regulations if the equipment is to be
used by an employee or similar person.
14. The user must be in an excellent
physical and mental state when using
the equipment; a doctor must be
consulted in case of doubt. Pregnant
women are not allowed to use the fall
arrest slider.

15. For safety reasons the work
must always be carried out so that
the danger of falling and the height
of a potential fall are reduced to a
minimum. It is vitally important that the
free space around a possible impact
spot beneath the user's working place
must be inspected before the device
is used to ensure that the user cannot
hit an object or the ground if a fall does
occur. The clearance below the feet
of the user must be at least 2,00 m.
Within the fi rst two meters the user
is eventually not protected against
hitting the ground so that special at-
tention during ascent resp. descent
is to be paid!
16. The FABA™ fall arrest slider must
be tested by Tractel Greifzug GmbH
or a qualifi ed person trained and cer-
tifi ed by Tractel every 12 months. The
inspection must cover the equipment's
functional capability and the legibility
of the markings and this must be re-
corded in the checklist. The safety of
the user depends on the maintenance
of the equipment's functional and load
bearing capabilities. The inspections
might well be required more often if
the equipment is used under "diffi cult
working conditions".
17. Any FABA™ fall arrest slider that
is fi nally withdrawn from use must be
destroyed or rendered permanently
inaccessible in order to prevent it from
being used inadvertently.
18. If the fall arrest slider is to be sold
in a country where another language
is spoken, the dealer must supply this
manual translated into the appropriate
local language in order to guarantee
the safety of the user as well as usa-
ge, mainte nance, repair and regular
inspection purposes.
