SAFETY

Rope system safety

The rope system must consist of a primary-

rope (1) and a secondary back-up rope

(2), both must be approved according to

EN1891 and have a diameter of 10-13mm.

The two ropes must have separate

anchor points that must hold at least 15 kN

each. A competent person shall judge if the

separate anchor points are sucient.

National regulations may require more.

The product ascends on the primary rope. If

any part of the load carrying system should

break then the load is immediately transfer-

red to the secondary rope which, together

with the fall arrester (3) according to EN

353-2, provides a fall arrest system.

Rope characteristics are an important

issue when using the ascender. Ropes with

characteristics not suitable for the ascender

might, in the worst-case scenario, result in a

jam between the rope grab and the knife,

with a damaged rope as a consequence.

Do not use the Ascender without a backup

system.

The lifting capacity of the ascender is higher

than the Safe Working Load (SWL) of the most

common fall arrest devices. Therefore, when

lifting a load it may be necessary with separate

fall arrest system(s) for the load. See the user’s

manual of the fall arrest device to nd out the

SWL.

DANGER

The dead rope must be unloaded. Do not build

cableways using the primary rope as shown in

the picture.
