Working Principle; Anchoring System - TAZ LOV2 User Instruction

• The fix sheave moves on the fix plate.
• The fix and mobile sheaves are opening more than 5 mm on the plates.
(P. 15).
• The rivets move on the fix plate.
• The mobile plate is not any more guided riveted.
• The stops move. .
The frictional wear by the rope on the sheaves:
• Weeks the rope guiding function of the sheave grooves
• Drilled parts of the sheaves
• Drilled the plates.
• Sharp edges or harmful borders damaging the ropes or the user.
Failing function of the handle.
Wear of the connecting point on the plates. Not any more than 10 mm
of material around.
The leverage goes out of the mobile sheave.
Function fail of the cleat: not maintain any more the device on the rope.
In case of malfunction of the tab you can replace the following a
procedure defined by TAZ and a trained and designated by TAZ person.
In case of unscrewing the screw the axis of the cleat, it is possible to
replace the following a procedure defined by TAZ and formed by a person
and designated by TAZ.
COMPATIBILITY
A fall arrest harness is the only body connecting device allowed to be
used in a whole fall arrest system. The connector must be self-locking
and alloy made. As fall arrest device, the user must be connected directly
to his A point on the harness, or linked by a lanyard TAZ LOV.LINK to the
same A point with connectors idem.
As descender using any connector harnesses EN 362 is the liaison office
and added or not with a lanyard EN 354 max length 40 cm, meaning it
is still handling.
Check during use than connecters work in the good way of tension.
The ropes must be EN 1891 :1998 class A de 10<Ø<11mm for a
maximum load of 120 kg.
18
Monitor to never deviate of these mandatories and of the described
length.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

When the user hangs on the device, the device turns and the friction of
the rope on the mobile sheave makes it turn also. This creates a pinch
between the two sheaves. (P. 2). Unfolding the handle and pulling down
on it, this firstly releases the pinch, what makes you slide and descend,
with the control of your second bottom hand. Secondly, in case of taught
(stretched) rope, pulling down the handle, the stops stop the mobile
sheave and all the device turns, what makes you slide and descend, with
the control of your second bottom hand.
WARNING
Pulling down the handle without any kind of control is dangerous
because makes you slide without stopping. Train to avoid this pulling
is mandatory.
SETTING UP ON ROPE
Normal using (P. 24). Fixe plate is placed with the connection point to
the top (handle to the bottom). Open the mobile plate and install the
rope within the vertical space between the two sheaves. Close the mobile
plate with the enclosed into LOV2.
Check that the tool is static hanging alone on the rope.
Finish the connection. And check the locking.

ANCHORING SYSTEM

The top anchor system must comply with EN 795 and 12 KN and ropes
used must comply with EN 1891 Class A
WARNING
It is mandatory than the top anchor point is placed above the activity
location.
