USE INFORMATION
3.1
Insert the fall arrester into the lower end of the Söll GlideLoc system guide rail (Fig. 3) or in
the recess (Fig. 4) (that should always be positioned at chest height or lower). The laterally
protruding safety pin (Pos. 1) must be on the right side and the engraved arrow must point
upwards.
The safety pin (Pos.1) together with the end stop (Pos.2) prevent the incorrect use of
the fall arrester and unintended slipping from the guide rail.
Warning:
Sliding the fall arrester beyond the end stops is allowed only
• In the areas without the risk of a fall from heights or
• If the fall protection is ensured otherwise.
The self-locking carabiner must be connected to the chest attachment point of the harness
marked with "A". (see Fig. 5)
In order to open the carabiners, the following steps are necessary: Pull the gate backwards,
turn it to the right and press it inwards.

The length of the connecting element must not be extended or shortened.
Note:
It is absolutely prohibited to use carabiners of another type than the original ones
provided!
The distance between the outer edge of the guide rail and the internally bent eyelet / loops
on the harness must not exceed 180 mm (see Fig. 6).
