Function Test; Additional Information - TAZ LOV2 User Instruction

In case of using one stretched or diagonal ropes, the bottom anchorage
must comply with the EN 795 b, if the risk assessment requires because
of obstacles or dangers swinging because of the bottom failure.
Furthermore, the slope must not approach within 15 ° of horizontal.
A calculation note must be done demonstrating tensions lower than 300
kg or 3 KN.

FUNCTION TEST

To do after having installed your parallel (back up A or progression B
or C).
The user or the load hangs on LOV2 and checks the blocking. If not, don't
use it and contact TAZ or do a disposal.
WORKING
DESCENT: After function tests, pull down the handle controlling with
your second bottom hand (P.
handle or the break of the second hand.
Not overpass 1m/s speed to avoid heat of the sheaves, leading to loose
breaking function of stainless steel.
You have to use a back- up separated system.
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.
• When blocked, be aware of the handle folding to avoid any unblocking.
However, an important pressure on the top of the handle can
exceptionally lead to an unlocking too. This area must be specially
monitored.
FALL ARREST: After function tests, make follow the device on the safety
rope, the most higher you can. In case of hanging on you can release it
with the descender process, respecting the rules.
CAUTION: to forward the tool during descent, use any suitable means
which allows the harness connection to work in case.

2). obtain the wanted speed monitoring the
No limit for number of descents or height of descent, except in special
cases of rescue (see rescue additional on taz3d.fr).
WARNING
For allowed use as a fall arrest, the clearance below the user must be
calculated, firstly because of the slide of LOV2 before stopping, and
secondly because of the elasticity of the rope depending of the length
between the device and the anchor points.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Life time, disposal:
Do all the verifications related in « controls, points to check » for each
use. Do it once per year by an agreed person, by filling in the identification
sheet (joined sheet) or a copy explaining number, date of sale, date of
manufacturing, date of first use, different inspections, history and special
events. In case of intense use, causes as environment conditions or
changing rules, increase those annual controls.
Any special event, not allowed traction (above 300 kg), Fall from height
on herd ground, must lead to the disposal.
Any fail, crack or other wear and fault must lead to disposal (check
controls, points to check)
If you ignore the historic of the device, or develop any doubt about his
functions, don't use it and lead to disposal.
If its use is avoided by law reasons, others tool incompatibility, TAZ
information (taz3d.fr), lead to disposal.
The tool must be leaded to disposal after its 30 Th year.
The disposal must be done by total destruction, avoiding any reuse. Any
