SPECIFIC INFORMATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Use
This product is made to be used as an energy absorber in via ferrata systems by users with a total weight between 40 kg
(excluding equipment) and 120 kg (including equipment). The distance of a free fall must not be higher than 5 meters, in
order to keep a shock force of less than 350 daN (≈ 350 kg) for a person weighing 40 kg, and less than 600 daN (≈ 600 kg)
for a person weighing 120 kg according to EN 958:2017 standard (fig.1).
Harness attachment: This product can be used with a full-body or sit harness. If the user is carrying a heavy rucksack, the
use of full-body harness is recommended. As an example only, we illustrate how to bind the attachment loop [2] to a
harness (fig.2), but we advise you to consult the usage instructions for your harness for precise instructions on how the
sling should pass through the point of juncture.
Attention: Incorrect passage of the sling can cause the harness to fail in the case of a fall.
Progression: Illustrations from 3 to 6 show the correct way to use this product.
WARNING: If one of the carabiners or one of the lanyards (fig.8) is clipped to the harness or to the attachment loop to the
harness [2], the energy absorber [1] will not function: danger of death. Do not tie knots on the lanyard [4]. Do not insert
your head between the two lanyards [4]: risk of strangulation.
During the progression, systematically check that the gate of the carabiners are securely locked. Respect the indications
for use of the carabiner. The case of the energy absorber [1] must remain closed. For users weighing less than 40 kg (total
weight excluding equipment) and more than 120 kg (total weight including equipment), we recommend rope progression:
in this case, it is necessary for the user to know the techniques of rope progression.
Falling: in the event of a fall, if the yellow warning label sewn on the webbing comes out of the case of the energy absorber
[1] and is visible (fig.9) the via ferrata set must be put out of service immediately. To complete the via ferrata safely, use
another set or tie in with a roped party.
Carabiners: carabiners must be used as shown in chart A and fig.5-6. For Kinetic, the assembling of O-Ring rubbers is
shown in fig.7. Warning: certain situations may reduce the strength of the carabiners (fig.6b).
