YOUR DUTY OF SAFETY BEYOND THE
TRACTELIFT™ TYPE II
As being only one component of the system, the
Tractelift™ Type II can contribute to the
required SAFETY, IF:
26. It is fitted on and with compatible equipment.
27. Other components meet the requirements of
the applicable safety regulations and are of the
proper quality, and assembled to form a safe
system.
28. Every support is stable, sufficiently strong,
according to the load either static and dynamic.
29. Supporting structure provides the required
resistance to every load to be applied either
static or dynamic, during operating the
equipment.
30. All the requirements in strength and resistance
are obtained with the necessary safety factor
(see regulations and professional standards).
31. All the calculations, design and subsequent
work necessary to the above requirements
have been made by a competent person on the
basis of proper technical information regarding
the site.
32. Do not use the Tractelift™Type II or climb the
ladder during periods of severe weather or
during electrical storms.
YOUR DUTY TO AVOID TAKING CHANCES
33. Tractelift™ Type II MUST NOT be used in
explosive atmosphere. It has not been
designed for such an application.
34. The Tractelift™ Type II control panel is factory
set - no adjustments are necessary or allowed.
Any tampering with the factory settings voids
the warranty and Tractel is not liable for the
consequences of this tampering.
35.

of the rung and always face the ladder while
climbing (see diagram). OSHA 3246-09N-05.
Using improper and unsafe climbing techniques
such as sliding or Peter Panning the ladder
during decent can have a negative effect on the
motor that will void the warranty of the system.
