WARNING! The anti-fall safety devices used on climbing ladders with safety ropes are personal
protective equipment (PPE) with a life cycle beyond which it is mandatory to replace them. The
device's life cycle is defined in the use and maintenance manual supplied with the device itself.
Furthermore, before using the anti-fall safety devices, it is mandatory to carefully read the user
manual as it contains instructions for their correct use, such as maximum load capacity (weight of
the operator and tools), types of checks to be carried out before use, installation and use procedures.
                  The anti-fall safety devices must be used with a suitable harness.


                  www.palicampion.it – assemblaggio, uso, manutenzione scale su torri – rev 202509 – Pag. 8 di 11

Each tower comes with N°1 anti-climb cover that prevents unauthorized personnel from accessing
the ladder.
The upper end of the anti-climb cover must be positioned at a height of 3 m from the cat-walk (fig.
6).


            www.palicampion.it – assemblaggio, uso, manutenzione scale su torri – rev 202509 – Pag. 9 di 11

Each anti-climb cover has an adhesive label that must be filled in by the installer
using a permanent marker.

3. MAINTENANCE AND DISMANTLING

Stair maintenance activities consist of:

   − Checking the tightness of the bolts;

   − Checking the galvanisation and any rust spots;

   − Checking the tension of the safety rope.

   Any traces of dirt, oil or grease on the ladder (rungs and/or central section) or on the safety rope
   must be removed as they may cause the operator to slip and/or the safety device to malfunction.



   For maintenance of the anti-fall safety device refer to “ANCHOR LIFE-LINE AND ANTI-
   FALL SAFETY DEVICE VERTICAL LINE 353-1 MANUAL” provided in attachment.

PERFORMANCE

For each VERTICAL LINE 353-1 anchorage device, it is assumed that no more than n° 1 operator weighing a maximum of 140 kg each,
including equipment, and a minimum of 50 kg each, will be attached, connected via an EN 361 harness to the DA device, which in turn is
connected to the rigid anchorage line (metal cable).


ARRANGEMENT


Indications for correct arrangement:

The positioning of the VERTICAL LINE 353-1 device must be designed and/or approved by a qualified technician who is also responsible for
assessing the risks of falling from height in order to reduce and/or eliminate occupational hazards.
All in accordance with UNI 11158 and UNI 11560 standards and/or applicable regulations.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE / WARNINGS / RECOMMENDATIONS / LIMITS OF USE


■ The VERTICAL LINE 353-1 anchor device may only be used in a vertical position ±1°.

■ The end of the VERTICAL LINE 353-1 anchoring device is marked by a copper ferrule crimped onto the cable, with a minimum cable
tension of no less than 0,25 kN.

■ The anchoring device must be used in compliance with current safety regulations (Legislative Decree 81/08) for the user. The
manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any accidents resulting from failure to comply with these regulations and the instructions
contained in this information note.

■ The user must be fully aware of how the anchoring device works before starting work and must therefore carefully read the information
note provided before use.

 ■ This information sheet is to be considered an integral part of the anchorage device supply; if it is damaged or illegible in any part, a
copy must be requested immediately.
The instructions for use and maintenance must be constantly available at the place of use.

■ If the product is exported, the retailer must provide this information sheet translated into the language of the country in which it is
marketed.

■ The device is designed for use in environments where the temperature is between -30 ° C / +40 ° C.

■ The functioning and effectiveness of the anchoring device is dependent on its correct use.

■ The employer (or client) must, in compliance with Legislative Decree 81/08 and subsequent amendments and additions and/or current
regulations, instruct personnel assigned to work on the roof on the risks of accidents and the safety devices provided, ensuring immediate
rescue in the event of a fall.

■ The anchoring device must only be used by users authorised by the employer and/or client who have fully read and understood the
instructions contained in this information note.

■ The operator must not use the device during medical treatments or administration of drugs that could alter their mental, physical,
cognitive or sensory abilities.

■ The device is designed for use by one worker.

■ The worker should ensure that the distance required and necessary to arrest the fall does not exceed the distance available on site.
The operator must have at least 2 metres of unobstructed space below their feet. For the first 2 metres of ascent from the starting level,
the operator is not protected from the risk of impact.

■ This anchoring device can be used in restraint, work positioning, fall arrest and rescue systems. Before each use of the anchoring
system, a suitable and specific safety plan must be drawn up as indicated in point 4.4 and subsequent amendments of the UNI 11560
standard.

■ In rescue systems, the maximum number of operators (including rescuers and rescued persons) must not exceed the maximum number
of operators permitted on the system.

■ When using the anchorage device and depending on the type of work to be performed, the user must wear the appropriate PPE for
the task. For example: a harness compliant with Standard EN 361, lanyards compliant with Standard EN 354, carabiners compliant with
Standard EN 362.

■ The anchoring device can be used in conjunction with various types of connection devices (e.g. retractable fall arresters, lanyards and
guided devices). The risk assessment technician will be responsible for evaluating the most suitable device based on the type of
technical system used to prevent falls from height and the product's technical data sheet.

■ Before and during use, consideration should be given to how a rescue could be carried out safely, efficiently and effectively in order to
deal with any emergencies that may arise during the work. Remaining suspended or immobile for more than a few minutes while using
an EN 361 harness can cause serious physical problems or death.

■ Avoid handling in areas where PPE could come into contact with sharp surfaces.

■ The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from: incorrect installation, use of non-original parts not specified in the
information sheet, failure to carry out periodic inspections and appropriate checks on the device before use in accordance with current
regulations.

■ The tests/reports carried out by the manufacturer are illustrative and not exhaustive, as there are many variables (e.g. base material)
that can affect the performance of the anchoring devices.
