A1.
Anyone
working with or on the Söll Vi-Go fall protection system must
be familiarized with these instructions prior to using the system. Use
which is not in accordance with these instructions constitutes a risk to
human life. Operatives must be given training covering these
instructions and the user information before starting work and at
regular intervals thereafter, but at least once a year.
A2.
The
operator of the Vi-Go fall protection system as well as the user of the
fall arrester must properly ensure that this manual is always stored in
a dry place together with the appropriate fall arrester and is available
for consultation at all
A3.
The
operating company must present this instruction manual at the
request of the manufacturer (HONEYWELL FALL PROTECTION
Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG or one of its authorized dealers).
A4.
National regulations on accident prevention and use of safety
equipment for construction work must be adhered to.
A5.
The guided type fall arrester that comes with the Söll Vi-Go system is an
integral part of the safe-climbing system in compliance with EN 353-1
and is designed for use as personal safety equipment. To ensure
proper use of the Söll fall protection system, the operator must ensure
that the full body harness and the fall arrester are used according to
these instructions. After use, the fall arrester must not be left
connected to the safe climbing system. The fall arrester that comes
with the Vi-Go system must be operated only in original Söll Vi-Go safe
climbing systems. Use with systems from other manufacturers can
interfere with the function of the fall arrester. In such cases, Honeywell
Fall Protection Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG and its authorized dealers
do not assume liability for the product. As a result, the complete
liability is transferred to the operator.
A6.
The safe climbing system must be used only in conjunction with full
body harnesses that have been checked and approved in
accordance with EN 361 and are equipped with a front attachment
point.
A7.
The conjunction between fall arrestor and full body harness is
effected through connecting the karabiner hook of the fall arrester
with a certified anchorage ring (marked with "A") at the front of the full
body harness.
The distance between the fall arrester and fully body harness must
not be minimized and enlarged (e.g. by adding or removing a
connector).
A8.
A maximum of eight users may simultaneously protect themselves
against falling from a height using the Vi-Go safe climbing system.
The distance between the users must not be less than3,0 m. The
actual number of users depends on the load-bearing capacity of the
base
structure.
Maximum 4 persons can use the Vi-Go fall protection system with
platform support. If the Vi-Go platform support is used as anchor
device maximal 2 persons are allowed.
