ALBA‐MACREL GROUP S.L. performs an integration test on each lift during assembly of the
machine to ensure safety and correct operation of the device.

Periodically, every 4 months, or after each machine assembly a functional test of the parachute
shall be performed in accordance with the instructions set out below. The test of the parachute
must be further supplemented with a brake inspection, checking the correct appearance of all
the elements and the sealing of the outer cover. This process has to be repeated more often if
the machine operates in extreme environmental conditions.
WARNING:
Carry out a parachute drop test at the end of each assembly, and then repeat
periodically every 4 months.
WRITE THE RESULT IN THE USERS´S MANUAL RECORD.
