In these cases, follow the instructions described in their own manual. (See reference table).
OPERATION:
The fall arrest device comprises a single or double lanyard and an shock absorber. When attached to the anchor point above the user,
the dual shock absorber enables large vertical and horizontal movements by successive clashes and stalls of the hooks with the
various anchor points.
While attached to the anchor point above the user, the simple shock absorber enables small vertical and horizontal movements.
The shock absorber comprises a folded and sewn tear strap, protected by a thermoplastic film.
In the case of a fall: the tension of the integrated lanyard and the shock absorber stops the fall. The tearing of the thermoplastic film,
that of the strap and its unfolding absorbs the shock generated by the fall arrest.
LENGTHS: (SEE REFERENCE TABLE).
The total length of a device comprising an shock absorber and a lanyard should include: shock absorber + lanyard + manufactured
ends + connectors for each of the ends. This length should not exceed 2 m.
MATERIALS:
Stranded rope or braided rope lanyard, or straps: polyamide or polyester
Shock absorber strap: polyester
ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS:
It is recommended to assign an shock absorber to each user.
This PPE can only be used by one person at a time.
How to connect the shock absorber to a reliable anchorage point, to a fall arrest harness and other components of a fall arrest system:
The fall arrest system will be attached to an anchorage point above the user (minimum resistance: 12 kN (EN795).
The fall arrest system shall be attached to a sternal or dorsal attachment point of the harness.
Never remove the thermoplastic film surrounding the shock absorber.
During use, the overall system must not be in contact with:
cutting elements, sharp edges and structures of small diameter, oils, harsh chemicals, fire, hot metal, all types of electrical
conductors...
For safety reasons and before each use, check:
- that the connectors (EN362) are closed and locked ①
- that the operating instructions described for each component of the system are met - 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. ③ (See reference table)
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 power lines or areas with an electrical hazard.

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 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
- That the shock absorber is not triggered (start of tear or tearing of the thermoplastic film and strap)
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
