SKYLOTEC - High Protection. Best Performance.

8.4 RECOMMENDED MAX. ABSEILING ROPE PERFORMANCE

The lower the abseil height, the more often the rope runs through the device. Low abseiling heights
therefore result in greater wear and tear to the rope. In addition, rope wear also depends on various
GB
other factors, such as how carefully or not the user handles the rope or any stressing caused by
edges. It is especially when the lift function is used at the same time that this can lead to greater
wear and tear. The max. rope run should not exceed approx. 50 abseilings. The rope should also
be constantly checked for wear and tear.

8.5 RECOMMENDED MAX. LIFTING PERFORMANCE

Lifting puts a greater strain on the device and the rope than abseiling. This can create slip if the lift
is frequently used. This does not in general mean that there is then a danger because the person
can still be safely abseiled. If this is not the case, the max. lifting performance should be 100m or
10 rope runs. If local conditions allow abseiling, the lift can be used more frequently, but rope wear
must then be checked more often.

8.6 REDUNDANCY

Training is not an emergency situation!
As a rule, a second safety device (redundancy) must always be used in all training. The possibility
of unforeseeable events, technical failure and human error can never be totally excluded! A se-
cond MILAN and MILAN 2.0 device, for instance, can be used as redundancy.

8.7 RESCUE APPLICATION

After each rescue application, the device must be checked by a repair shop, which is authorized
by the manufacturer, to assure the full reliability fo the next application. We recommend to use
different devices for training and rescuing.

8.8 OVERLOAD

Devices which have been subjected to the force of arresting a fall or a overload have to be remo-
ved from field.

8.9 TEMPERATURE

The device can be used in temperatures between – 35° C up to + 60° C. The impact wrench can
tolerate temperatures of between 0° C and +40° C. At higher or lower temperatures the perfor-
mance may reduce or the device may overheat. The manufacturer's instructions provided must
be observed.
