4) SAFETY ChECk lIST.
Check carefully before each use: there are no signs of
abrasion, cracks, corrosion; the cam rotates freely, with-
out jamming and the spring of the cam snaps it in the
rope locking position; the cam teeth are present and show
no signs of wear; the connector placed in the attachment
slot is free to rotate unimpeded; the karabiners lock prop-
erly; no dirt on the device (ex. sand); check the rope for
signs of abrasion, corrosion, frying yarns and, stitches or
swages, are in good state; make sure there is enough
space below the user at the work station to prevent him
from colliding with the ground or other obstacles in the
event of a fall. Attention! In case you have any doubt
about the good state of the device, remove it immediate-
ly from further use.
During each use: always verify the correct placement of
the rope inside the device; pay attention using iced, wet,
muddy, dirty ropes and any foreign body which might pre-
vent the good working of the locking cam on the rope;
regularly check the good working conditions of the de-
vice comprising the correct placing of the other compo-
nents included in the system; make sure the connectors
are properly locked and the safety catch is closed; en-
sure the rope is always in tension to avoid possible free-
falls; avoid having slack rope between the anchor and
the attachment on the harness; take great care to pre-
vent the rope coming out when using it transversally on
stretched ropes.
