When working in or next to the ascent route and during jobs and actions that are not a part of
the usual ascent and descent movements, the climber must additionally secure themselves with
a lanyard in accordance with EN 354 or a lanyard for safety harness in accordance with EN 358.
(Securing with an anchor device). This is also applicable for idle positions that are intended to be
a break on the fall arrest ladder. Only suitable anchor devices must be used for this. In all these
situations, the lanyard must be held tight in order to prevent a fall.
Important!
The Miller VC300 arrester must be used only with systems with an inclination 15° max.
from the vertical in all directions.
Important !
A fall arrester according to EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017, CSA Z259.2.5-12 and ANSI
A14.3-2008 shall be used only by persons who:
• have been trained or are otherwise authorized
• are supervised directly by a trained or competent person.
Connection to the system:
• The guided type fall arrester that comes with the Honeywell Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest
system is a cable-guided fall arrester with an integrated shock absorber, which permits use
without opening the fall protection system.
• The design allows fixing on an 10 mm/ 0.375 in strong steel cable. The fall arrester has an
„anti-inversion“ mechanism, which prevents the fall arrester from being incorrectly attached
to the cable.
Connecting the fall arrester to the full body harness:
• Pull-down the knurled bushing (Fig. 4) of the karabiner.
• Then turn the knurled bushing and press it inwards.
• Attach it directly in the attachment point of the full body harness.
• Release the knurled bushing. It locks automatically.
Danger !
An unsecured karabiner (open knurled bushing) is dangerous to human life.
The abdominal or thoracic strap of the full body harness must fit the body tightly (see Fig. 4).
Danger !
The karabiner of the fall arrester must be directly inserted into the front chest attachment
point (1) of the full body harness (Fig.5).
Inserting in the guiding cable (see Fig. 6)
• Press the lock knobs (1).
• With the lock knob pressed, push the karabiner with a braking lever (2) up until the lock is in
open position.
• Through the now-open gap in the casing of the shuttle, place the shuttle on the cable such
that the arrow on the casing points upward.
• Release the braking lever (2) and the lock knob (1).
• The Miller Vi-Go vertical arrest system system is now connected to the guide cable.
• Check whether the shuttle can freely slide vertically on the guide cable.
• Check the functioning of the locking and catch mechanism by moving the braking lever (2).
• Check if the locking mechanism is in the locked position (see Fig.7).
