6.5 Fall arrest device

a) Ascend electrically approx. 50 centimeters and
observe centrifugal weight during this process.
Activate the fall arrest device by turning the
lock lever counter clockwise (Fig. 7 section 5.7).
b) Verify the engagement with no-power descent
and observe centrifugal weight during this
process. The FAD must hold the load (if this is
not the case, leave the lift and tag it out).
Ascend electrically again to unload the FAD.
Unlock the fall arrest device by turning the
unlock lever clockwise.
c) During operation, regularly (at least once per
each travel up and down) monitor the
centrifugal force regulator relay's rotation by
looking through the window.
d) There is an alternative method to check the
FAD functionality, called 'Stomp Test'. The
procedure is explained in the 'Stomp-test
Instruction'.
