The HSG must not be used near electrical lines (5.3). The carabiners
must always be correctly closed before use (5.5, 5.6). A transverse or
buckling load must be avoided in any case (5.7, 5.8). The force
applied to the structure in the event of a fall must not exceed 6kN
(5.9). Slack rope is to be avoided (5.10). Do not knot the retractable
connector (5.12) and do not use it in the lacing gear (5.13). Do not
use over bulk material or similar substances in which you can sink
(5.14). Avoid contact with aggressive substances/chemicals.
Note: Use the HSG only as intended and NOT e.g. as a holding
rope (i.e. do not hold onto or pull yourself up by the HSG) and NOT
for suspending/securing loads.
6.) Change identification (only HSG PRO 5/10)
For the HSG 5/10 PRO units, the marking must be adjusted
accordingly before use (horizontal or vertical). To do this, use a
screwdriver to lever the label with the min./max. nominal load and
the edge suitability out of the locking device (6.1-6.2), turn (6.3) and
clip it back in according to the application (6.4).
7.) Inspection and maintenance
The safety of the user depends on the effectiveness and durability of
the equipment. Before and after each use, check the product for
functionality, damage (e.g. kink or strand break in the wire rope,
wear) or alterations and for legibility of the marking (no additional
mechanical markings allowed). Regular inspections are necessary
and must be carried out at least once a year by a competent person
according to the manufacturer's recommendations. After 5 years at
the latest, maintenance (documented disassembly and intensive
inspection) must be carried out, which may only be performed by
WÜRTH or a service company trained by WÜRTH. The intervals for
regular inspections and maintenance depend on the frequency of use
and the external conditions of use (dust, humidity, heat, etc.) in which
the HSG is used. If there are any doubts about safe use or after a fall
(fall indicator triggered), the product must be withdrawn from use
immediately until a competent person has given written approval for
further use.
Any repair of damaged and/or defective products or components is
prohibited!
Clean soiled products with lukewarm water (possibly with the
addition of neutral soap) and a soft brush. Dry the wet products
naturally and avoid direct exposure to heat.
8.) Storage and transport
Store the product in a dry place protected from direct sunlight.
Incorrect storage can negatively affect the life of the product!
Transport the product/components in suitable containers, protected
from direct sunlight and stress, to prevent damage.
