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 var-
nish, 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withdrawn from use and can only be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 an authorised speci-
alist 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 oc-
cur. 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 attention during ascent
resp. descent is to be paid!
16. The FABA™ fall arrest slider must
be inspected by TRACTEL® or an au-
thorised specialist at least once every
12 months. The inspection must cover
the equipment's functional capability
and the legibility of the markings and
this must be recorded in the checklist.
The safety of the user depends on the
maintenance of the equipment's func-
tional 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is fi nally withdrawn from use must be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.
19. The slider FABA-Klassik A11
has a useful life of 10 years as of the
date of manufacture provided that it
has been used and maintained in
strict observance of the operating,
installation and maintenance instruc-
tions given in this manual and pro-
vide that it has been stored in strict
observance of the storage instruc-
tions given in this same manual.
On expiry of the 10-year period fol-
lowing manufacture date, authoriza-
tion of use of the slider is subject to
successful inspection by a Tractel
trained and certifi ed technician.
During use of the device, parameters
like severe use, drop from height, fric-
tions, contact with sharp edges, con-
tacts with chemical products, contact
with abrasive surfaces, and exposure
to high temperatures, UV exposure etc.
