accidents or serious wounds. We would like to remind

the harness and in urgency matters (taking medication,
cardiovascular disorder, etc.). When in doubt, check with
your doctor.

out an in-depth visual examination of the integrity
of the PPE as well as of any other equipment to be
associated with it (connector, lanyard, etc.) and, to take
the necessary measures regarding the implementa-
tion of a possible rescue in complete safety. In case of
any damage brought to your product, check with the
manufacturer or its agent. If you have any doubt as to
the safety of a product or when the product has been
used to stop a fall; it is essential, for your safety, that the
PPE be removed from operation and sent back to the
manufacturer or a qualified repair centre for purposes
of verification or destruction. Once examined, the
centre will issue or not a written autorisation for reuse

QUADPOD
INSTALLATION
Set the quadpod up straight. Foot after foot, remove the
fastening pin. Adjust the foot to the proper height and
put the pin back into place. Separate the feet according
to the configuration of use (pyramid or overhung) and
make sure that they rest on a stable surface.
The separation at the front must be of a maximum of
1.2m. Link up each foot with the chain via the screw gate
carabiners Make sure that the quadpod is stable.
The quadpod is intended to be used with protective
equipment against falls from height (See EN 363) as well
as with rescue equipment. It has been subjected to tests
according to standard EN 795 (b).
The anchor ring situated at its head is suitable as an an-
chor point for a single person, when used as protection
against falls, and for two people in case of rescue. The
anchor ring is suitable for use as an energy absorber
(See EN 355).
