The acquisition of relevant training and competence for the Hitch Climber System prior to
first use;
That suitable supervision is in place when and where required;
Suitable physical and mental condition to use the system in both normal and emergency
situations;
That a relevant and ‘live’ Risk Assessment is in place for the work to be carried out which
includes emergency contingencies;
That the Hitch Climber system is maintained using only components approved by TEUFEL-
BERGER Ges.m.b.H., and installed in accordance with the manufacturers procedures;
That alterations made to any part of the Hitch Climber System receive prior written consent
of TEUFELBERGER Ges.m.b.H.;

Where there appears to be a conflict between legislation and these instructions for use, the
user shall postpone the use of the Hitch Climber System until resolution has been achieved;
That when in service or storage, the system is in a safe and functional condition and pro-
tected from damage;
That the system is only used for the purposes for which it was intended and within an ap-
propriate environment;
That components or the entire system are immediately withdrawn from service, placed in
quarantine and labelled in an obvious manner so that they can not be used by mistake if 1)
there is any doubt about its condition or 2) it has been used to arrest a fall. Components
may only be returned to service following the written authorisation of a Competent Person;
That anchor points are directly above the work position whenever possible;
That the potential for a pendulum swing has been minimised;
That each anchor point system meets the requirements of EN795(B);

prior to any safety issues arising e.g. pre-use checks, weekly inspections, thorough exami-
nations (see national legislation) and examination after exceptional circumstances;
