LIFTING DIRECTION
HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
Before the machine is started, check the points mentioned
above, make sure that the machine has sufficient petrol,
and make sure that if any other type of personal protective
equipment is needed, e. g. descending device, it is ready for
use. Start the machine as instructed in the user’s manual,
and make sure that the ActSafe PME is in good working
order before ascending.
Your colleague can put some light tail weight on the loose
end of the rope to help you travel up more smoothly.
Ascend to a position where, if possible, both feet can be
placed firmly on some surface. Attach a descender equipped
with an auto lock facility on the rope below the ActSafe
PME; remove the rope from the ActSafe PME rope grab (the
principal attachment point is now via the descender).
If your work takes longer than 15-20 min you should attach
an ergonomic support to your harness (for example a
comfort seat/sit-board/Bosun’s chair).
The working rope for the machine can be set up in two
different ways, either by “throwing” the rope with the help
of a so called “line thrower”, or by setting up a thinner pilot-
line on the mast/pole to pull the work rope.
If the machine is then not be used to haul up material and
tools, it can be now lowered to the ground immediately after
the ascent. If the machine is to be used to haul up equipment,
it should be attached “upside down” to a suitable and
sufficiently strong point of anchorage
.
USE DURING RESCUE OPERATIONS
ActSafe PME can also be used during rescue operations where
rescue personnel operating the machine are transported
upwards together with the injured (in emergency situations
also with the injured on a stretcher).
During such operations, the working rope should be attached
to the machine body so that one end of the rope functions as
a deflection. A deflection pulley is installed to the top
attachment point. The winch now has increased lifting power
but the configuration reduces the speed of the machine during
lifting. The machine can now be loaded with
max 600 kg .
Follow the above instructions and check before use whether
the deflection pulley, additional karabiner, loops and
anchorage point are stable enough.
Fasten the stretcher and the injured as instructed by the
producer of the stretcher. Check if the stretcher is suitable for
such operations.
Rescue operations of this type require well-qualified personnel
that are familiar with personal fall protection in general and
with rescue equipment and its functions in detail. Training is
carried out by the producer or by trainers who have passed
the training course ”ActSafe PME BASIC”.
OPERATOR SAFETY
- Secure long hair so it can not be caught in moving parts
- Ensure any loose straps or clothing is also secured to
prevent accidental entanglement.
- Do not operate this tool if you are tired, ill or under
the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
