5.0 Assembly Instructions
5.1 Inspection.
Lay the components out for inspection. Unfurl the net in full. It is essential that the 20x20mm
mesh is uppermost and the cam buckle straps are on the edge closest to the scaffold following
the installation. Check that the service tag is attached and a valid test date is stipulated. Carry
out a visual inspection and report any discrepancies or concerns immediately. Inspect the support
assemblies.
5.2 Installing the supports.
Both the erecting and dismantling of the safety nets have to be executed with the corresponding
PPE.
The free space underneath the safety net of the Mini Catch Fan must be at least 3 metres, nothing,
except the articulated arms must obstruct the path of a potential fall. DESSA recommends the use
of the Mini Catch Fan as close as possible to the work area. A fall, even with the protection of a
safety nets system is never fully free of risks.

Employing a safe method of work the supports need to be located vertically outside the scaffold
elevation. The uppermost claw needs to be located above the desired connection point and then
push-locked onto the ledger (as shown below).
The locking pin will slide out allowing for the ledger to enter the claw. Do not force the claw over the
ledger - it should not require force when the assembly is perpendicular to the face of the scaffold.
The sliding connector should be attached to the scaffold at the lowest possible location:

Install the second support assembly.
The distance between the supports should be 2m. This can be achieved using the optional DESSA
spacer Y09004.
