Noncompliance can result in death. The Y-Version is to be used in this
instance. When using the Y-Version, the free end is not to be attached
to a gear loop of the safety harness. (Risk of reduced deployment,
table on page 6, line 8.)

3.) Use on elevating work platforms
To minimise the risk of being thrown out, always set the length
between the work platform anchor point and the attachment point of
the safety harness as short as possible!
3.1) All of the HSG 18 Compact range with a length of 1.80m is
suitable for use on elevating work platforms (EWP). Only anchor points
mounted a minimum of 35cm beneath the handrail can be used. Risk-
free usage is no longer guaranteed when using a higher anchor point.
3.2) The anchor point (AP) and the whole of the platform must be
able to absorb a dynamic jolt even in the most unfavourable of
circumstances. The following drop tests were carried out for
certification and the respective impact forces established:
100kg:
Direct fall = max. 3kN impact force
Sideways fall = max. 6kN impact force 135kg:
Direct fall = max. 6kN impact force
Sideways fall = max. 6kN impact force
Clarify the load-bearing capacity of the platform before use.
If the AP is higher, there is a risk of complete failure and it tipping
over! The device must only be used with mobile elevating work
platforms which are equipped with an anchor point(s) as part of the
work platform's fall arrest systems. Only use anchor points with the
appropriate strength and compatibility and which are labelled as
such. 3kN were established in load tests.
3.3) Injuries as a result of hitting the work platform or the boom
cannot be excluded.
