4) SAFETY CHECK LIST.
Check carefully before each use:
there are no signs of abrasion, cracks, corrosion; the cam
rotates freely, without jamming and the spring of the cam
snaps it in the rope locking position; the cam teeth are
present and show no signs of wear; the connector placed
in the attachment slot is free to rotate unimpeded; the
karabiners lock properly; no dirt on the device (ex. sand);
check the rope for signs of abrasion, corrosion, frying
yarns and, stitches or swages, are in good state; make
sure there is enough space below the user at the work sta-
tion to prevent him from colliding with the ground or oth-
er obstacles in the event of a fall.
Attention! In case you
have any doubt about the good state of the device, re-
move it immediately from further use.
During each use: always verify the correct placement of
the rope inside the device; pay attention using iced, wet,
muddy, dirty ropes and any foreign body which might pre-
vent the good working of the locking cam on the rope;
regularly check the good working conditions of the de-
vice comprising the correct placing of the other compo-
nents included in the system; make sure the connectors
are properly locked and the safety catch is closed; en-
sure the rope is always in tension to avoid possible free-
falls; avoid having slack rope between the anchor and
the attachment on the harness; take great care to pre-
vent the rope coming out when using it transversally on
stretched ropes.
