SKYLOTEC SUPER STRATIC 11.0 Instrucciones De Uso página 12

PLEASE NOTE: For lead climbing, free climbing in rope-based
situations, rescue and cave exploration, EN 892 certified
dynamic ropes should be used!
NOTE: Compatibility must be ensured with other components used
in combination with the low stretch braided core rope. All components
of the fall-arrest system must be certified and comply with the relevant
PPE standards. Adjustment devices for abseil equipment must be
adjusted to suit the rope diameter. Metal devices must not have any
sharp edges or similar, which could damage the rope. For more
details, please see the relevant user manual of the product purchased
for this purpose.
PLEASE NOTE: Type B ropes have a lower performance
specification than type A ropes. The risks caused by abrasion,
cuts and wear are therefore higher and require greater
attention from the user. Care should be taken to minimise the
risk of falling from a height. Type A ropes are therefore better
suited to rope-based work or workplace positioning.
PPE should not be put on in an area where there is a risk of falling
(3.2.12). During use of the rope, care should be taken to ensure
that it is not damaged by sharp or pointed edges or rough objects
etc. (3.1.1 + 3.1.3). Therefore, always ensure that the rope is
running smoothly. The condition of the product should be checked
regularly, also when used in combination with other equipment
components. Terminations such as splices, seams or compressions
may only be applied by the manufacturer.
PLEASE NOTE: Knots in the rope reduce the breaking load
(3.1.4). The strength and position of the anchor point (EN 795
certified) to which the equipment is attached play an essential role
when it comes to safety. The substructure to which the anchoring
device is fastened, and the connecting elements must withstand
the load. For use in industrial climbing, the anchor point must
always have a minimum strength of 12 kN (1.2 t). The anchor
device may only be used with personal fall protection equipment,
not for lifting gear. The anchor point should be perpendicular above
the user. If the anchor point is lower, there may be a risk of crashing
into lower-lying structures in the event of a fall!
If the anchor point is on one side of the user, there is a risk of
impact on structures positioned on the side. To prevent a swinging
fall, any sideways movement towards the centre axis should be
limited to a maximum of approx. 45°. If this is not possible or if
larger displacements are required, no individual anchor points
should be used. Instead, a system according to EN 795 Category D
(track) or C (rope) should be used, for example.
Before each use, it must be ensured that the clearance beneath the
user is sufficient, so that in case of a fall, there will be no impact
with the ground, objects, or equipment below. The height of the
anchor point and the required ground clearance must be appropriate
in any case to ensure the effectiveness of the system (see fig 3.2.1):
