KRATOS SAFETY FA 60 007 01 Manuel D'instructions page 9

Open the cam lever (4) and keep it open by lightly pressing the locking button (3). Make sure the 2 plates on the tensioner (5 and 6) are closed, the 4
positioning bolts (7) on the pulley plate (6) must be totally engaged in the end plate (5) and it must be held closed using the locking button.
Under normal use, you do not have to open these two plates, but this opening is necessary during verification operations.

Tension adjustment:
Once the lifeline is installed, a pre-adjustment of the tension must be made by pulling manually on the rope (knot end side —Fig. 3). Automatically, the
cam (8) and the cam lever (4) must come into contact with the rope. Close the cam lever (4), then, using an appropriate wrench, apply tension on the
tension adjustment bolt (1) until the tension indicator washer (a) placed on the tension indicator (2) turns freely (Fig. 4). Once this washer moves freely,
STOP TIGHTENING! This corresponds to a pre-tensioning on the line of approximately 0.5 kN. 0.5 kN. During use, regularly check this tension (rotation of the
tension indicator washer) and adjust if necessary, as explained above.
WARNING! Do not try to loosen the tension adjustment bolt (1) with the wrench, the cam (8) resists this loosening and resists rotating counter-
clockwise. Significant loosening in this direction may have harmful consequences on the operation of the system and on the condition of the rope.
Withdrawal:
To uninstall the lifeline, pull on the cam lever (4) (Fig. 5). Unhook everything and repack it in its original bag.
Do not leave the lifeline installed after an intervention, it must be installed for one day of intervention at most.
For safety reasons, make sure that no obstacles are impeding the normal operation of the fall arrest system, connected to the attachment point, before each
possible use. Ensure that the general set-up limits swinging in the event of a fall, and that the work is performed to limit the risk and the height of a fall.
This equipment must only be used by trained, competent and healthy persons, or under the supervision of a trained and competent person. Warning!
Certain medical conditions can affect user safety, if in doubt please contact your doctor.
Be aware of the hazards that could reduce the performance of your equipment, and therefore the safety of the user, in the case of exposure to extreme
temperatures (< -30°C or > +50°C), prolonged exposure to the elements (UV rays, humidity), to chemical products, electrical constraints, if the fall
protection system becomes twisted when in use, or in the case of sharp edges, friction, cuts, etc.
Before and during use, we recommend that you make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue, should this be required.
Check before each use: the rope condition (no cuts, no burns, no abrasion, no core/sheath slippage, no significant core deformation), the condition of
the cam, the plates, and lever (no deformations, no sharp edges, no traces of oxidation), the condition of the tension indicator (no deformations) and that
of the swivel (no deformations, no sharp edges), and pay particular attention to the rope/swivel connection. Also check the condition of the connectors
(no deformation, no sharp edges, no traces of oxidation) and in particular check the operation (closure AND locking). In case of doubt regarding the
condition of the device, the lifeline should no longer be reused and/or be returned to the manufacturer or to a competent technician, approved by the
manufacturer. After a fall, or in case of doubt, the product should not be reused and should be marked "OUT OF SERVICE" (see paragraph entitled
"VERIFICATION").
The readability of the product's markings must be checked regularly.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the product.
Chemical products: do not use the device in the event of contact with chemical products, solvents or fuels that could affect its operation.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Material: Tensioner: Alloy of aluminium, stainless steel. Attachment rings/Cross-over anchors: Steel. End swivel: Stainless steel. Rope and anchorage
straps: Polyester.
Weight: FA 60 007 01: 9.3 kg / FA 60 007 02: 10.2 kg.
Static resistance of the system > 21 kN.
KRATOS SAFETY certifies that lifeline has been tested in accordance with standards EN 795:2012 Type C & TS 16415:2013 Type C.
COMPATIBILITY FOR USE:
This equipment is for use with a fall arrest system as defined in the product data sheet (see standard EN363) to guarantee that the dynamic force exerted
on the user during the arrest of a fall is no greater than 6 kN. A fall arrest harness (EN361) is the only body support device that may be used. It may be
dangerous to create your own fall arrest system in which each safety function may interfere with another safety function. Therefore, it is important to
read the recommendations on using each component in the system before use.
INSPECTION:
The recommended service life of the equipment is 10 years, but it may be increased or reduced according to use and/or the results of the annual
inspections.
The equipment should be inspected if there is any doubt, or following a fall and at least annually, by the manufacturer or a competent person, and in strict
compliance with the manufacturer's periodic review procedures (particularly Inspection guides ref. GI XX- XXXXXX-XX), to check its strength and
hence the user's safety. The results of the periodic inspection must be recorded in the ENTECH01 inspection report (downloadable from our website).
We recommend that routine inspections are documented using an inspection report and photographs. The "Equipment identification sheet" should be
completed (by writing) after each verification; date of inspection and date of next inspection must be indicated on the "Equipment identification sheet",
it is also recommended to put date of next inspection on the product.
*: refer to the definition of a competent person on our website under: Info/Technical Advice
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE: (These instructions must be strictly observed)
During transportation, keep the equipment away from any cutting edges and in its packaging. Clean with water, wipe with a cloth and hang in a ventilated
room to dry naturally, ensuring that it is away from any direct light or source of heat; the same applies for elements that may have got wet during use.
The system must be stored in its packaging in a cool, dry, and ventilated room.
