1
2
1: blocking half-moons and 3: blocking cone
The dimension opposite must be checked before each use: if the size is smaller, have
your equipment checked or discontinue use.
Also check before each use: that there is no sign of deformation or oxidation on any
IN-LOCK component. Pay particular attention to the anchorage ring and the crimping
3
on the components (on the blockage cone, the half-moons, placement indicator and the
O
anchorage ring). Check that the main cable is not cut or deformed. If there is any doubt,

KRATOS SAFETY certifies that this equipment has been tested in accordance with the standard EN 795:2012 Type B.
COMPATIBILITY FOR USE:
An anchorage point must be used in a fall arrest system as defined in the product's factsheet (see RN 363) in order to guarantee a
maximum arrest force of 6 kN on the user. A fall arrester harness (EN361) is the only body support device permitted for use. It may
be dangerous to create your own fall arrest system in which each safety function may interfere with another safety function. As
such, before each use, refer to the recommendations for use for each of the system's components.
