Usage Limits - Deltaplus EX420EL Notice D'utilisation

- that the general disposition of the work situation reduces the fall risk, the drop height and the pendulum movement in the case of a
fall.
- The vertical clearance is sufficient (free space beneath the feet of the user) and no obstacles disrupt the normal functioning of the fall
arrest system.
The vertical clearance is the stopping distance H + additional safety distance of 1 m. The distance H measured from the initial position
to the final position (user's balance after the fall arrest). (See reference table).
Provide a safe distance from the ground and the power lines or areas with an electrical hazard.
SPECIAL NOTE: ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS: ELARA 130
Special note for the harness equipped at the dorsal attachment point of an irremovable lanyard.
The harness with dorsal attachment point to an irremovable restraint lanyard (EN358) should not be used as a fall arrest system, but
as a restraint.
Unfold the harness to put it in the correct direction (A).
Harness: Put the harness over the back, pass the head through the upper part (B).
Close the Bavarian sternum strap (C). Pass the lower part between the legs.
Assemble the lower and upper part through the loops (D). see diagrams.
A harness should be adjusted to the size of the user: adjust the straps by sliding them in the loops and openings provided for this
purpose, so that the seat strap is in place and the back plate is located between the shoulder blades, adjust the adjustable buckles.
The harness must be strapped as close to the body as possible, without excess, to allow the user free movement. These settings
must be made at once only and before the user is in the fall risk area.

USAGE LIMITS:

Before any PPE implementation operation, set up a rescue plan to deal with any emergency that may occur during the operation.
Textile products or those containing textile elements (harnesses, belts, shock absorbers etc...): maximum life of 10 years in storage
(from date of manufacture), 7 years after the first use.
The shelf life is given as an indication. The following factors can cause it to vary greatly:
- Non-compliance with the manufacturer's instructions for transport, storage and use
- "Aggressive" work environment: marine atmosphere, chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp edges...
- Particularly intensive use
- Shock or significant constraint
- Disregard for the product item's history
Warning: these factors can cause damage invisible to the naked eye.
Warning: certain extreme conditions can shorten the shelf life by a few days.
If in doubt, always remove the product for it to undergo either: - a review - destruction
The shelf life is not a substitute for periodic verification (minimum annually) which will assess the condition of the product.

No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer nor without using
their procedures.
Do not use beyond the area of use defined in the instructions for use.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this
manual.
Do not use this equipment beyond its limits.
To ensure its working condition and therefore the safety of the user, the product should be checked systematically:
1 / visually inspect the following points:
- State of the strap or rope: no fraying, no boot cut, no visible damage at seams, no burning and no unusual narrowing
- Condition of seams and fasteners: no visible damage
- Condition of the metal parts: no wear, no deformation, no corrosion or oxidation
- General condition: look for any possible damage due to ultraviolet radiation and other climatic conditions
- Correct operation and locking of connectors
Specific conditions such as humidity, snow, ice, mud, dirt, paint, oil, glue, corrosion, wear of the strap or rope, etc.. can significantly
reduce the operation of the fall arrest device.
2 / in the following cases:
- Before and during use - if in doubt
- In the case of contact with chemicals, solvents or fuels that could affect operation
- If it has been subjected to stress during a previous fall
- At least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by them.
PERIODIC REVIEW OF PPE:
An examination should be performed at least every twelve months by the manufacturer or a competent organization, mandated by
them. This very important check is related to the maintenance and efficacy of the PPE and hence the user's safety. A written
document authorising reuse should be obtained during this audit in order to reuse the PPE. This document will clarify that the user's
safety is linked to maintaining the efficiency and resistance of the equipment.
Replace the PPE if necessary.
In accordance with European regulations, the identification form must be completed prior to the first use of the product and then
updated and kept with the product as well as the manual by the user. The legibility of the product labelling should be checked
periodically.
