– Check the structure to which you fasten the anchor
device as to whether or not it is of suitable and suf-
ficient strength for the purposes of supporting any
foreseeable loading in cluding that in an emergency
contingency. Prior to using it have the anchor device
checked by a competent person. The product can
be used as a belay for the rescuer after a single
fall – this must only be done if a suitable structural
anchor (tree / branch) is chosen. (After all, in the
type examination, dynamic loading was tested twice
without making any readjustments of or other cor-
rections to the anchor device.) The structural anchor
(tree / branch) must withstand more than 12 kN.
– Always attune the length of the anchor device to the
object it is looped around. When using the product
in a double sling configuration, the length of the rope
(L) should be at least three times the length of the
circumference of the object to be enlooped so that
the rope will be positioned in the direction of pull. In
usage with ringLOOP the used length of the rope
is shortened. The same applies to this shortened
length.
– A work positioning system must always be main-
tained as taut as possible from the anchor point to
the belayed person (avoid rope slack).
Warning:
When working with fall arrest note that
– an energy absorber according to EN 355 is needed
that reduces dynamic forces to max. 6 kN.
– the lanyard including fall arrest systems and connec-
tion elements must not exceed 2 m.
– a clearance of 7m underneath the user is needed to
avoid ground impact.
MODES OF USE

When conducting the crossover please take care
that the ropes are not crossed. They must be parallel.
3. LIMITATIONS OF USE
Never carry out work with this product if, as a result
of your physical and mental condition, your safety
might be compromised in scenarios of normal use
or in emergencies!
Do not run the product over sharp edges!
Care should be taken to ensure that the rope (or
any other part of the system) is routed away from
surfaces that may damage the rope (or any other
component), or that suitable and sufficient protection
is appropriately placed to ensure the rope and other
components are protected.
Keep away from surfaces which may cause damage
to the the work equipment. The anchor device shall
be used for personal protective equipment and not
for lifting devices - as in rigging operations!
