To achieve a sitting/hanging position in the harness, the runner can be manually lifted up and blocked. This is only intended for
short rests and not for working in or on the ladder.
WARNING: The runner must be locked before hanging or sitting in the harness!
The locked fall arrest system can be easily released by lifting the carabiner.
Runners must not be used as a working position. Separate PPE systems (e.g. EN 358 and EN 354/355) should be used for
this purpose.
Before removing the runner, ensure you have a secure footing on a platform and, in areas where there is a risk of

max.
5 m
0,25 m
For use by more than one person, the minimum distance of 5m must not be exceeded.
During the first few metres of ascent (<3m from the floor or platform), please take extra care as protection against impact will not be guaranteed.
When working above structures, always ensure there is plenty of space under the user's feet at all times.
The system should only ever be used in accordance with the established conditions of use and for the intended purpose.
Activating the release function of the runner or fiddling with the runner during ascent or descent may hinder the safe functioning
of the brake mechanism.
No objects, such as tool bags, are permitted to hang in front of the body under the runner.
5. MAINTENANCE
• Well-maintained protective equipment and safety systems last longer!
• When not in use, remove the runners from the climbing protection system.
• Dirty runners should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Other detergents should not be used.
• Air-dry damp runners; do not use a heat source.
• Do not bring the runners into contact with aggressive substances (e.g. oil, grease, acid, solvents or other chemicals)
• Do not use any grease; the bearings are permanently greased ball bearings. Hinges, however, should be lightly greased.
6. STORAGE
Dry the runners and store them away from light. Transport in a tool box or bag
7. REPAIRS
Repairs should only be undertaken by the manufacturer.
Safety systems, devices or protective equipment that have been damaged or involved in a fall should be taken out of use
immediately and checked by an expert or by the manufacturer.
8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND TRAINING
For the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) against falls, the operator must produce operating instructions containing
all the necessary information for the safe use of the equipment, in particular the dangers corresponding to the hazard labelling,
conduct when using the PPE and what to do if any defects are identified.
There must be a rescue plan taking into account any potential emergency situations that may occur during the work. Users of
PPE must be trained in using the equipment. Training must be provided at least once a year, or more frequently if required.
The company to which the user belongs is responsible for producing documentation and recording all the necessary informa-
tion.
