DELTA PLUS AC002 Notice D'utilisation Et D'entretien page 7

ESTABLISHMENT AND/ OR ADJUSTMENTS:
B
To connect a part on swivel, start to withdraw the pin (A). Then, unscrew the axis jaw (B). Take the side of the device that you wish to
connect in the jaw (C) and screw the axis jaw. Put then the pin back in the hole of the axis planned.
For the use of the swivel alone, the second jaw with irremovable axle owns an 11 mm way that enables the assembling of a connector
A
C
(F).
When a fall occurs, a fuse part breaks inside the swivelling part, with the red fall indicator appearing.
When connecting, check the locking system of jaw is correctly placed and the set of the pin and the two nuts are presents and correctly
screwed (A).
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.
In the case of a use on a lanyard, the total length must not exceed 2 m. When the lanyards are associated with connectors, TOTAL length
takes into account the dimensions of the connectors, only on their long axis. (No pressure should be applied to the minor axis of a
connector).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
F
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. (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.
SHELF LIFE :
Metal products and mechanical products (self retracting fall arrest device, sliding, work on ropes, anchors etc...): Maximum duration of 20 years from the date of
manufacture (including storage and 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
- That the fall indicator is not triggered
- 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
- 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.
WARNING:
The user's safety depends on the continuing efficacy of the PPE, its strength and the proper understanding of the instructions in this manual.
WARNING: Any static or dynamic overload may damage the PPE.
WARNING: The weight of the user, including his clothing and equipment must not exceed the maximum weight indicated on the fall arrest
It is dangerous to create your own fall arrest system as each safety function may interfere with another safety function.
WARNING:
No modification or addition or repair of the PPE may be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer without using their procedures.
Do not use beyond the scope of use defined in the usage instructions, nor beyond its limits.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect accident after a modification or use other than that provided in this manual.
This equipment should be used in work environments with minimum temperatures of -40°C / maximum of +50°C. (See reference table).
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
During transport and storage:
- keep the product in its packaging - keep the product away from any sharp, abrasive, objects etc...
- Keep the product away from sunlight, heat, flames, hot metal, oil, petroleum products, harsh chemicals, acids, dyes, solvents, sharp edges and structures of small
diameter. These items can affect the performance of the fall arrest device.
After use, store the product in its packaging in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING / MAINTENANCE:
In case of minor stains, clean with a cotton rag or a flat brush. Do not use any abrasive product. For an intensive cleaning, a wet rag can be used, and let the product dry
naturally, far from any fire or heat, even for items that got wet during use.
Bleach and detergents are strictly prohibited.
