General Information
FCC VERIFICATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful interference
2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
NOTE!
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep­tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
IC CERTIFICATION

TECHNICAL SUPPORT INFORMATION
The PowerSeat is covered by a warranty, as laid down in the general conditions of sale. If during the warranty period the device proves defective or suffers breakages, as indicated in the warranty, the manufacturer, after checking the device, will repair or replace the defective components. You are reminded that modifications carried out by the user, without explicit written authorisation from the manufacturer, will invalidate the warranty and relieve the manufacturer of any responsibility for damage caused by the defective product. The same considerations apply when spare parts that are not original or different from those explicitly indicated by the manufacturer as “safety devices” are used. For all these reasons we advise customers to contact Harken Technical Support.
Safety Precautions
GENERAL ADVICE
WARNING!
read the instructions in this manual attentively and carefully follow the indications it contains before using the PowerSeat
Use of the PowerSeat is restricted to qualified operators who are certified for temporary work at height with the use of access and positioning systems using ropes according to the current regulations of the Nation in which the device is used.
Harken is not responsible for damage caused by the PowerSeat to people, animals or property in the case of:
- use of the PowerSeat by operators without proper certification
- improper use of the PowerSeat
- lack of proper maintenance, as indicated in the Maintenance chapter of this Manual
- unauthorised modifications or changes
- use of spare parts that are not original or specific for the model
- total or partial failure to observe the instructions
- usage contrary to specific national regulations
INTENDED USE
The PowerSeat is designed to help qualified operators ascend a rope using the engine and descend using a passive manual device. The PowerSeat is not safety equipment and is not a Personal Protective Equipment. It must always be used in combination with a secondary rope to which is connected the fall arrest device fixed to the operator’s harness by a cord with an energy absorber, and must satisfy the requirements of EN 363 on individual systems for the protection against falling from heights.
In order to use the PowerSeat a risk analysis, and rescue plan must have been drawn up, as required by current regulations of the nation where the device is used on temporary work at height and the use of access and positioning systems using ropes.
The following guidelines must also be considered:
- ISO 22846: Personal equipment for protection against falls (Part 1/Part 2)
- IRATA: International Code of Practice.
- C(HSW)R: The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations.
- LOLER: The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations.
- MHSWR: The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
- PUWER: The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations
This list is not complete and it is the responsibility of the qualified operator to be aware of current regulations in his country on temporary work at height and the use of access and positioning systems using ropes or other regulations relating to his specific sector of work.
Safety Precautions
IMPROPER USE
The machine must not be used:
- for purposes different from those outlined in “Intended use” chapter, or for purposes not mentioned in this manual or different from those mentioned
- if unauthorised modifications or interventions have been carried out
- in an explosive atmosphere
- after it has fallen from a height of more than 1mtr onto a hard surface. In this case the device must be returned to the manufacturer or to a Harken authorised repair centre.
SAFETY DEVICES
The following safety devices are installed:
- Fall arrest attachment consists of strap and carabiner locked to the main support plate certified according to EN 1275; EN 362 Standards.
- Plastic cover on the central support for protecting the device from contact shocks and rope jamming.
- Shaped plastic guard between the descending knob and the rope entry on the winch to prevent the rope jamming and tangling.
- Plastic cover containing the electric motor to protect from hot parts.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
The device bears an adhesive label reminding you of the obligation:
- to use gloves
RESIDUAL RISKS
