7 Instructions for use
The Avanti fall arresters could be lubricated with a high performance
grease, for instance HTS+PTFE ABSOBON (Würth) or ISOFLEX
TOPAS L32 N (Klüber), for cold conditions. Any grease to be used in
Avanti fall arresters must be verified and approved by Avanti.
7.1 Instructions for use of Runner 2000/2002
7.1.1 Attaching the Runner 2000/2002 to the safety rail
Before using the runner, make sure that you are wearing an approved
STOP
full body harness, and that it is properly adjusted to a snug fit (it
should not be used if loose). Before attaching the runner to the rail,
ensure that you are in a safe area (ground level) or attached to an
alternative fall protection.
Before attaching the runner to the rail, ensure that it is attached to the
D-ring marked "A" of the full body harness in order to avoid dropping it.
The carabiner shall only be connected to the D-ring marked "A" of the
full body harness located on the front side of the user and located at
the chest height.
The D-ring marked "A" shall comply with the demands for climbing in
vertical fall arrest safety systems on ladders (see the user´s manual of
the full body harness).
When attaching the carabiner, ensure that the shock absorber is
not twisted between the runner and the carabiner. A twisted shock
absorber may cause the FPS to fail.
a) Place the runner on the
safety rail ensuring that the
arrow on the plate of the
runner points upwards.
Otherwise, the runner will
not arrest a fall.
