3. Operation
Pre-use check (Figure 3):
Before each use, check that the anchoring de-
vice is in good visible condition, free of marks,
shocks or deformation. Otherwise do not use it
and alert the supervisor.
• Check that the connector of the fall arrest sys-
tem is compatible with the diameter (fig. 4, ref.
E) of the anchoring ring (fig. 1, ref. 4) and that
the opening of the connector is compatible with
the hanging section (fig. 3, ref. G) of the an-
choring point.
• Check that the 150Kg Tracrod anchor rod is
locked in the Tracrod anchor base (fig. 3 ref. 5)
and cannot be disassembled without using the
unlocking actuator (fig. 1, ref. 2).
"PPE": It is essential for the operator's
safety that the connector is properly locked as
soon as it is connected to the anchoring device.
After installation, check that the connector(s) of
the fall arrest system(s) align freely in the
possible direction of the operator's fall without
risk of jamming or interference with the body of
the anchoring device (fig. 1, ref. 1) and on the
Tracrod anchor base 150Kg (fig. 3).
• Check the condition of all components of the
associated fall arrest system. Refer to the spe-
cific instructions for each component.
