USE / LIMITATIONS OF USE / SECURITY
If any free climbing activity is necessary during the use of this rope in rope access, rescue or speleolo-
gy, suitable ropes (e.g. dynamic mountaineering ropes to EN892) must be used.
The system must include a reliable anchoring point (in accordance with EN 795) above the user. The
low stretch kernmantel rope should not be allowed to sag between the user and the reliable anchoring
point.
Type A and B ropes:
The performance requirements of Type B ropes are lower than those for Type A ropes.
Accordingly, when using Type B ropes, greater care is required for protection against the ef-
fects of friction, cuts, general wear and tear etc. Consequently, the possibility of a fall must
be minimised by applying maximum caution. Type A ropes are more suitable for rope-assisted work
or working place positioning than Type B ropes.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
Do not carry out any rope-assisted work if your physical condition means that your safety could be at
risk during normal use or in an emergency.
Any changes or additions to ropes to EN 1891 are forbidden and may only be made by the manufac-
turer. The breaking load of ropes / ropes with terminations is specified for tension applied in the ropes'
longitudinal direction. Therefore, never subject end loops, for example, to transverse loads (2 karabi-
ners in one loop). Check which load in the selected configuration acts on the rope and make sure that
you do not overload it. We recommend a safety factor ≥ 7.
Protect the rope and particularly the eye termination against abrasion and cuts. Metal parts must be
burr-free and must not have rough or sharp edges that may damage the rope or the eye termination.
It is essential that the end termination eye and its neighbouring components are compatible.
Use according to ANSI Z133-2017:
ANSI Z133-2017 requires arborist climbing lines (i.e. lines designated to support the climber while aloft
in a tree or attached to a crane) to have a minimum diameter of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) with the following
exception: In arboricultural operations not subject to regulations that supersede Z133, a line of not
less than 7/16 inch (11 mm) diameter - like the line present in this product - may be used, provided the
employer can demonstrate it does not create a safety hazard for the arborist and the arborist has been
instructed in its use.
BEFORE USING, PLEASE NOTE
Prior to use the rope, and the eye termination in particular, must be subject to a visual and tactile in-
spection in order to verify its integrity, readiness for use and proper functioning. If the equipment has
been affected by a fall, it must be withdrawn from use immediately.
Even if you have only the slightest doubt, the product must be withdrawn and may only be used again
once an expert has authorised the use in writing following an inspection. Knots in the rope reduce the
breaking load.
Do not use ropes whose previous usage history is unknown to you.
The user must ensure that the recommendations for use with other elements are complied with.
Further PPE components must meet the harmonized standards under the regime of regulation (EU)
