Important operating instructions
1. You must read this manual in order
to be able to guarantee the operating
safety of the equipment and that it will
be used correctly before using our
FABA™ fall arrest sliders. Every user
must have understood the content and
must strictly adhere to the instructions
given in the manual.
2. This manual must be kept in a good
state and made available to all users
until the equipment is decommissioned.
Additional copies are available upon
request.
3. You must ensure that the labelling
on the fall arrest slider can always be
read easily. The fall arrest slider must
be permanently decommissioned if
the details become illegible or they
are erased.
4. The fall arrest slider is an integral fall
arrest system designed in accordance
with EN 363 and is solely to be used in
conjunction with other components that
interconnect together and are compa-
tible with the fall arrest slider and also
fulfi ll the valid safety regulations and
standards. It is vital that you adhere
to the instructions given in this manual
and those for any other products that
have to be used when connecting up
the various parts of the equipment that
makes up the fall arrest system.
5. Only one person is allowed to use
the FABA™ fall arrest slider at any
time. Each user must undergo practical
training before using the equipment,
which should cover setting up and the
use of the fall arrest slider as part of a
complete system under normal working
and safety conditions. The object of the
training is to teach the user what to do
if he falls, in addition to normal rescue
operations.
6. Each FABA™ fall arrest slider is to
be used solely with the associated rail
profi les that are specifi ed in this ma-

might well endanger the user's life and
TRACTEL® will not accept liability if our
FABA™ fall arrest slider is used in any
other way than that stipulated in the
climbing protection profi le.
7. Only use the FABA slider if it is in
perfect condition. The slider must be
inspected every time prior to use, and
a manual function check in the climbing
protection rail must be carried out. Eve-
ry slider must be immediately put out of
operation and sent to Tractel Greifzug
GmbH or an authorised specialist for
inspection if it is damaged or not func-
tional, or if there is doubt about whether
it can be used safely.
8. Any fall protection device that has
held someone who has fallen must
be immediately withdrawn from use
and returned to TRACTEL® or an
authorised specialist for testing. The
climbing protec tion system can only be
used again after a fall if an authorised
specialist has given written permission
for it to be used again.
9. TRACTEL® does not accept any
liability for using a FABA™ fall arrest
slider that has been dismantled

You are only permitted to make

written authorisation from TRACTEL
