the case, have a technical expert check the products.
•
Do not use damaged anchoring points and/or lanyards or any other parts of the personal fall arrest
equipment (PFAE). Have the system or the PFAE checked by the manufacturer or a technical expert if

•
Incorrectly applied adhesives or incorrectly fitted threaded fittings may become loose and compromise the
safe functioning of the individual anchoring points!

Improper repair work, maintenance, and/or manipulations of the individual anchoring points and their
components are a danger to life and limb. In this case, all warranties will become void and SKYLOTEC
GmbH will refuse any liability.

This product may only be used with lanyard elements (in conformity with EN 362) and personal fall arrest
equipment.

4. GENERAL ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS
All individual parts must be cleaned of dirt prior to being fitted.
Avoid allowing the system to come into contact with aggressive materials and chemicals, as well as with plaster,
cement, or similar.
To ensure the correct functioning of the product, remove mortar residue and / or other contaminants immediately.
The products must be installed strictly according to the assembly instructions of the manufacturer.
Deviations are not permitted. Only original SKYLOTEC parts should be used for assembly and replacement.
Combining parts or elements from other manufacturers or suppliers may constitute a danger to life and limb!
The components should be treated with care and must not be used improperly. A set of identification labels must be
attached to each entry and exit point.
For free-standing structures, the following securing devices are strictly required during assembly:
Safety harness according to EN 361 and separate safety ropes with energy absorber according to EN 354/355.
Since structurally anchored attachement points/devices are no longer subject to the PPS Directive, they
