use of the Honeywell Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system, the operator must ensure that the full
body harness and the fall arrester are used according to these instructions. After use, the fall
arrester must not be left connected to the safe climbing system. The fall arrester that comes with
the Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system must be operated only in original Honeywell Miller Vi-Go
vertical arrest system.
The safe climbing system must be used only in conjunction with full body harnesses that have
been checked and approved in accordance with EN 361; ANSI Z359.11; CSA Z259.10-18 and are
equipped with a front attachment point.
The conjunction between fall arrester and full body harness is effected through connecting the
karabiner hook of the fall arrester with a certified anchorage ring (marked with “A”) at the front of
the full body harness. The distance between the fall arrester and fully body harness must not be
minimized and enlarged (e.g. by adding or removing a connector).
A maximum of three users may simultaneously protect themselves against falling from a height
using the Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system.
The distance between the users must not be less
than 3 m /10 ft (Fig.1).
The actual number of users depends on the load-bearing capacity of the
base structure. Maximum 3 persons can use the Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system with platform
support. If the platform support is used as anchor device maximal 2 persons are allowed.
The minimal load of the user excluding clothes and equipment is 50 kg/110 lb. The maximal
load of the user including clothes and equipment is 140 kg/308 lb and must not be exceeded.
The guided type fall arrester that comes with the Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system must always
be directly attached to the front attachment point of the full body harness.
The guided type fall arrester shall not be used for work positioning. If the work positioning is
required, a separate system shall be used.
To ensure the safety of the user in case of a fall, fall arrester must not be used by hand but it has
to move freely on the guided type fall arrester.
The fixation-points for the cable of the Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system must not be used for
securing loads. Before and during the use of the installed fall protection system, the system must
be visually inspected to ensure that it is operating properly.
Working temperature –40 °C to +70°C/ -40 °F to 158 °F ; ensure that the system is free of
grease, oil and ice.
The operator must be in good health and must not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medicines.
With a weight of 100 kg/220 lb and fall factor 2 situation (worst-case scenario) the height
required under the feet of the user is at least 3 m/10 ft.
Important!
The user may be not be sufficiently protected against hitting the ground or obstacles if at
a height of less than 3 m/10 ft. Before using the safe-climbing system, ensure that there is
the required free space under the user’s feet.
