b) Open the runner by pressing the left bottom pin and pulling apart both
body sides of the runner simultaneously.
c) While lifting the lever, tilt the runner so the runner is parallel and close to
the safety rail.
d) Push together the two body parts of the runner until the left bottom pin
pops out. You will hear a click sound.
e) Make sure the runner is locked correctly by pulling the lever
downwards and conrming that the runner locks on the rail.
f) Climb the ladder keeping a distance of minimum 10 cm between torso
and ladder. This distance guarantees an optimal operation, enhanced
safety and better climbing ergonomics.
g) During ascent or descent, keep a minimum distance of 6 meters
between each user.
If the full body harness becomes loose during ascent or
descent, it should be correctly adjusted again from a secured
position.
Each rail section shall only be used by one user at a time, since
having more users using the same rail section simultaneously would
jeopardise its structural resistance.
Engaging the release mechanism of the runner during ascent or
descent can jeopardise the function of the braking mechanism.
The FPS is only approved as a fall arrest safety when ascending
or descending the ladder. Thus, the FPS shall never be used for
work positioning or for securing equipment. If work positioning at
the ladder is required, a separate dedicated and approved work
positioning equipment shall be used.

7.1.2 Releasing the Runner 2000/2002 from the safety rail
a) Before stepping in or stepping off the ladder, attach alternative
fall protection.
Before releasing the runner from the rail, ensure that you are in a
safe area (ground level) or attached to an alternative fall protection.
Before releasing the runner from the rail, ensure that the runner is
without load and that there is no risk of falling.
Before releasing the runner from the rail, ensure that it is attached
to the D-ring marked “A” of the body harness in order to avoid
dropping it.
b) Release the runner from the rail by pressing the left bottom pin and
pulling the runner body parts apart simultaneously.
c) Remove the runner from the rail. It is not intended to be parked on the
rail. The runner is personal and shall be in reach in case of an emergency.
If any damages or faults are found during operation, or any other
circumstance which may jeopardise safety: immediately stop the
work in progress, and contact the site responsible, e.g. the turbine
owner or the site foreman.
