Intended Use

• This scaffold hook is primarily used as an anchorage connector in
personal fall arrest systems. It may also be used for work positioning
and travel restriction, depending on the associated system components
used.
For occasional personal, non-commercial use only!
Fall Arrest Fall Restraint
Usage limitations
• Acidic, alkaline, or other environments with harsh substances may
damage the hardware of the karabiner. DO NOT expose the karabiner
to corrosive environments for prolonged periods of time. Organic
substances and salt water are particularly corrosive to metal parts
• DO NOT use in environments with temperatures lower than -40°C or
greater than 80°C
• Karabiners must be shielded when used near welding, metal cutting,
or other activities that produce large amounts of heat
• Use extreme CAUTION when working near energised electrical
sources. Metal hardware conducts electric current. Maintain a safe
working distance (at least 3m) from all electrical hazards
WARNING: Fall arrest gear is designed to arrest a fall from height ONLY
ONCE! If subjected to an arrested fall, the gear must be withdrawn from
service and rendered unusable.

Before Use

Pre-use checks
• An inspection must be carried out before every use. All parts of the
gear must be inspected in an area with appropriate light conditions
• Check correct function of karabiner and smooth operation of its safety
mechanisms
Note: Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for further advice on inspection
and fault conditions
Anchorage requirements
Fig. A
• According to EN795 the minimum strength of any anchorage is 10kN
• Check anchorage for signs of deterioration
• As with all fall arrest gear, anchorages must be subjected to regular
inspections by a competent person. Inspect at least once every three
months and record findings in a dedicated service record
• Check that the karabiner is the correct size for the anchorage to be
used. If the karabiner is too small, use an anchor sling to connect to
the anchorage
Anchorage position
• The anchorage of the system should preferably be located above the
user's position
Use as part of a fall arrest system
• Anchorages selected for fall arrest systems shall be capable of
sustaining a static load, applied in the directions permitted by the
system of at least
• 22kN for non-certified anchorages, or
Positioning
• Two times the maximum arrest force for certified anchorages
• If more than one system is attached to one anchorage, the required
Use as part of a work positioning system
• Structures to which a work positioning system is attached shall be
capable of sustaining a static load, applied in the directions permitted
by the system of at least 13kN, or twice the potential impact force,
whichever is greatest. If more than one system is attached to one
anchorage, the required strength shall be multiplied by the number of
systems attached
Use as part of a restraint system
• Anchorages to which a restraint or travel restraint system is attached
shall be capable of sustaining a static load, applied in the directions
permitted by the system of at least
• 4.5kN for non-certified anchorages, or
• Two times the foreseeable force for certified anchorages
• If more than one system is attached to one anchorage, the required
