without prior written consent of 3S
Lift. Otherwise for any consequences
affecting the product performance
and safety, 3S Lift will not assume any
liabilities.
1.18
DO NOT carry tools or materials by hands
while climbing up or down the ladder,
during which a fall of tools or materials
may occur resulting in damage to
equipment or injury to personnel below.
1.19
Before each use, perform a routine
inspection to ensure that the fall
arrester functions properly. The annual
inspection shall be performed by a
competent person
1.20
A copy of the user’s manual must be
handed out to the operator and must be
available for reference.
1.21
Before and during use of the fall
protection system, a rescue plan
which copes with all kinds of possible
emergencies should be in place.
1.22
The fall arrester can only be used in
conjunction with 3S Lift rail guided fall
protection system, or a written consent
by 3S Lift shall be obtained if it is
intended to be used with other systems
other than described herein. Otherwise,
for any consequences affecting the
product performance and safety, 3S Lift
will not assume any liabilities.
1.23
The installation, maintenance and
inspection of the fall protection system
can only be performed by qualified
personnel trained by 3S Lift, or under the
guidance of related professionals.
1.24
Follow site emergency protocol. Do not
use the fall arrester as an assisted rescue
device.
1.25
DO NOT use the fall protection system in
environments where the user is exposed
to hazards such as high heat, chemicals
or falling risks that could result in injury
to the user.
1.26
Long distance climbing may require
several movable rest standings mounted
in the climbing passage to avoid fatigue.
Use proper work positioning equipment
for rest breaks. Do not climb in strong
winds or adverse weather.
1.27
Always maintain three points of contact
(hands and feet) with the ladder while
climbing. Should a mis-locking of the fall
arrester occur, the operator shall climb
up a bit to unlock the fall arrester.
Note:
Should the fall arrester lock on the
guide rail, never unlock it by means of
detaching it off the guide rail.
1.28
If the fall arrester has been subjected to
a fall which leads to deformation, it must
be removed out of service immediately
and scrapped.
1.29
The ladder onto which the fall
protection system is mounted can be
installed on the tower wall in accordance
with the information supplied by the
manufacturers (see Fig. 1.1 and Fig. 1.2).
For example: weld a base plate with
embeded bolt onto the wall of wind
turbine tower, mount a supporting
bracket onto base plate, and fix the
supporting bracket to the ladder stile
with a clamp. The ladde should have a
capacity of supporting static load of 16
kN (3600 lbs).
