Warnings Against Hazardous Operations; Operating Problems - Tractel rollbeam Manual De Empleo Y De Mantenimiento

3. Place the assembled device under the beam, maintaining a
sufficient distance between the clamp plates to be able to
position the trolley on the beam.
4. Place the two rollers on one of the clamp plates on the flange
of the beam.
5. Line up the other two rollers with the flange on the bar and
turn the handle clockwise to tighten the clamp plates.
6. Adjust the distance between the clamp plates so that
the 4 rollers are in contact with the flange and that the
distance between the flange and the cheek of the roller is
5 mm.
7. Tighten the locknuts against the clamp plates. At least one
thread on the threader bar must protrude beyond the locknuts.
8. Tighten the Allen screws on the threader bar.
9. Remove the adjustment handle.
NB: The threader bar has a left-handed thread on one end and a
right-handed thread on the other.
Preparation for operation
• Check that all the parts of the trolley have been correctly
assembled and tightened.
• Check that the trolley moves easily and freely along the whole
length of the beam.
• Check that the profile of the beam used is adequate to take a
force of 10 kN per rollbeam in complete safety.
• Check that the end stops on the beam work properly.
Removal
The rollbeam may be removed after use.
1. Loosen the locking screws.
2. Loosen the locknuts.
3. Fit the handle on the crossbeam.
4. Move the clamp plates apart by turning the handle (caution:
remember the weight of the trolley during removal).
5. Remove the handle.
Operation
The high quality operation of the rollbeam ensures optimum
movement along a beam. While moving or working, the operator
must remain in the working area. Angle α should not exceed
20° ie. d < 0.4xH.
For any application other than those explicitly described
above, please contact your TRACTEL® installer (figure 4
and 5).
Before each use of the rollbeam:
• Visual inspection of the device.
• Check the compatibility of the rollbeam with the equipment
used.
• The rollbeam must be checked in the event of a fall, if there is
any obvious deformation or any other change in appearance
(contact your TRACTEL ® installer).
• The standard recommends that the rollbeam is inspected
regularly, at least once a year.
CAUTION
The following precautions must be taken when moving the
trolley:
• Avoid the rollbeam regularly running into the end stops
fitted on the beam.
• Avoid moving at high speed.
• Avoid impact between trolleys on the same beam.
• Check that the bend radius of the beam is at least 1m.
• If the rollbeam is used periodically on the same beam,
inspect that beam regularly.
• Check that the mounting clearance is observed.
• During use, protect your PPE against any risks connec-
ted with the working environment eg. thermal, electrical
or mechanical shocks, splashes of acid, etc.

Warnings against hazardous operations

LThe following is prohibited: L
• Use of a device which has stopped a fall and which has not
been overhauled.
• Using one rollbeam for the protection of a number of people.
• Use of the rollbeam for purposes other than the fall protection
of one person.
• Moving outside the safety area of 20° around the rollbeam.
• Attaching oneself to the device by any means other than
the PPE attachment point.
• Fitting the rollbeam on a sloping beam.
• Placing the device on an unsuitable support, leading to the risk
of damage to the components of the trolley.
• Repairing the device with spare parts not referenced and
validated by TRACTEL ® .
• Allowing the trolley to be used by a person who is unqualified
or who has not read this manual.
• Using the device in operating conditions or an environment not
suitable for its characteristics.
• Moving or removing the end stops fitted at the ends of the
beam.
• Using a trolley which is not in perfect condition (wear or
deformation).
• Removing the safety devices from the trolley and using
the rollbeam without these devices.
• Fitting the trolley on the beam by any means other than those
described in this manual.
• Placing the trolley on a beam whose resistance and condition
have not been checked beforehand.
Permissible attachments
A connector (EN 362).
A fall arrest ( EN 3XX).
A connector (EN362).
A harnes (NF EN 361)
(chest or back anchorage point).

Operating problems

If there are any friction points or localised binding on the beam:
• Check that there are no obstacles on the beam.
• Check that the axles of the rollers are not damaged and that
they turn correctly.
• Check that the distance adjustment of the trolley is correct in
relation to the width of the beam.
• Check that the beam does not have a bend radius smaller than
the technical capabilities of the trolley used.
• Check that the beam has no localised deformations and that it
is not twisted.
• Check the surface condition of the flange on the beam.
