3. ANCHOR POINTS

The anchor point to which the equipment is attached must comply with the current requirements
of the respective country. The anchor point must keep strengths according to the EN 795.
Safe anchor points include, unquestionably sound structures, strengthened ladder rungs and
approved anchor points. Anchoring only on ladder rungs, window frames or heating pipes is not
permitted.
The load capability and location of the anchor point are essential for the safe operation of the
rescue device. The location should be chosen in the way that the rope is not touching any sharp
edges or items nor running along rough wall surfaces. If a sufficient distance between the rope
and wall cannot be established, an appropriate protection for the rope is to be ensured. If the
device is equipped with a fixing adapter, this adapter is only a help support and connected to the
device by a rated break point. (Additional fixation at an anchor point is obligatory!)
The use of adapters and accessories,
which are not original
SKYLOTEC-accessory,
is prohibited.
