INSTALLING A TRIPOD
! Place the tripod on a flat, stable
and hard surface. Pull out the
tripod legs to the desired length
and lock with the locking pin.
! Set the tripod in an upright position and
fully spread the legs.
! Make sure the feet are on firm ground
and can support the load.
! Adjust the length of the legs so that
the head is located in the
horizontal plane.
! The legs must always have
the same length.
! The tripod should be
positioned over opening
so working line will be
located approximately
in the center of the
opening
! The tripod can be used with the 284 rescue
lifting device. The 284 should be installed
underside the tripod's leg. The grip of the 284
should be fastened on the locking hole
situated on the bottom wall of the leg's
profile. The cable shoud be guided
through a pulley attached to the tripod's
central eye bolt. For proper and safe
installation and use of the 284 follow
its instruction manual.
! Secondary fall arrest system
(conforming EN 363) must be
used when working with the
ref.1883 and the ref.284.
! Make sure the locking pins are
properly secured the end of the
locking pin must protrude above
the surface of the tripod legs.
! Secure the tripod legs with the
chain against the accidental
sliding open. The ends of
the chain must be fastened
with a snap hook. The
chain should be tight
between the legs of the
tripod.
Remove
excess slack of the
chain.
! !While working, pay attention to the chain, which fastens the
tripod legs, as it can cause accidental tripping of the worker!
! The tripod must never be used without the leg chain (or the
webbing) in place
! Avoid working where the user may swing and hit an object or
where lines may cross or tangle with that of another worker in
the area.
! To collapse tripod, pull leg down and swing leg in.
Fall arrest and rescue systems used with this tripod must meet
applicable EN standard requirements:
- EN 795 - for anchor devices
- EN 362 - for connectors
- EN 361 - for full body harnesses
- EN 360 - for retractable type fall arresters
- EN 353-2 - for guidet type fall arresters
- EN 1496 - for rescue lifting devices
- EN 1497 - for rescue harnesses
- EN 341 - for descender devices
THE ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES FOR USERS OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AGAINST FALLS FROM A HEIGHT
personal protective equipment shall only be used by a person trained and competent in its safe use.
!
personal protective equipment must not be used by a person with medical condition that could affect the safety of the equipment user in
!
normal and emergency use.
a rescue plan shall be in place to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work.
!
!
it is forbidden to make any alterations or additions to the equipment without the manufacturer's prior written consent.
any repair shall only be carried out by equipment manufacturer or his certified representative.
!
personal protective equipment shall not be used outside its limitations, or for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.
!
!
personal protective equipment should be a personal issue item.
before use ensure about the compatibility of items of equipment assembled into a fall arrest system. Periodically check connecting and
!
adjusting of the equipment components to avoid accidental loosening or disconnecting of the components.
it is forbidden to use combinations of items of equipment in which the safe function of any one item is affected by or interferes with the
!
safe function of another.
before each use of personal protective equipment it is obligatory to carry out a pre-use check of the equipment, to ensure that it is in a
!
serviceable condition and operates correctly before it is used.
during pre-use check it is necessary to inspect all elements of the equipment in respect of any damages, excessive wear, corrosion,
!
abrasion, cutting or incorrect acting, especially take into consideration:
- in full body harnesses and belts - buckles, adjusting elements, attaching points, webbings, seams, loops;
- in energy absorbers - attaching loops, webbing, seams, casing, connectors;
- in textile lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - rope, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting element, splices;
- in steel lanyards or lifelines or guidelines - cable, wires, clips, ferrules, loops, thimbles, connectors, adjusting elements;
- in retractable fall arresters - cable or webbing, retractor and brake proper acting, casing, energy absorber, connector;
- in guided type fall arresters - body of the fall arrester, sliding function, locking gear acting, rivets and screws, connector, energy
absorber;
- in connectors - main body, rivets, gate, locking gear acting.
- in tripods - legs, safety pins, eye bolts, feet, chain, connecting elements.
after every12 months of utilization, personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use to carry out periodical detailed inspection.
!
The periodic inspection must be carried out by a competent person for periodic inspection. The periodic inspection can be carried out
also by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
In case of some types of the complex equipment e.g. some types of retractable fall arresters the annual inspection can be carried out
only by the manufacturer or his authorized representative.
regular periodic inspections are the essential for equipment maintenance and the safety of the users which depends upon the continued
!
efficiency and durability of the equipment.
during periodic inspection it is necessary to check the legibility of the equipment marking.
!
it is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of destination the reseller shall provide
!
instructions for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for repair in language of the country in which the product is to be
used.
personal protective equipment must be withdrawn from use immediately when any doubt arise about its condition for safe use and not
!
used again until confirmed in writing by equipment manufacturer or his representative after carried out the detailed inspection.
a full body harness (conforming EN 361) is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
!
in full body harness use only attaching points marked with big letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system.
!
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way, as to
!
minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user .
The shape and construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the equipment. Minimal static
strength of the anchor device/point is 10 kN. It is recommended to use certified and marked structural anchor point complied with EN795.
!
it is obligatory to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion of use the fall arrest system, so
that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of the free space
should be taken from instruction manual of used equipment.
!
there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have to be
observed during equipment utilization, especially:
- trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges,
- any defects like cutting, abrasion, corrosion,
- climatic exposure,
- pendulum falls,
- extremes of temperature,
- chemical reagents,
- electrical conductivity.
personal protective equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-proof textile or foil bag or cases made of
!
steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.
the equipment can be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the manufacture of the equipment. For textile products
!
use mild detergents for delicate fabrics, wash by hand or in a machine and rinse in water. Plastic parts can be cleaned only with water.
When the equipment becomes wet, either from being in use or when due cleaning, it shall be allowed to dry naturally, and shall be kept
away from direct heat. In metallic products some mechanic parts (spring, pin, hinge, etc.) can be regularly slightly lubricated to ensure
better operation.
Other maintenance and cleaning procedures should be adhered to detailed instructions stated in the manual of the equipment.
personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed, in a well-ventilated place, protected from direct light, ultraviolet
!
degradation, damp environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances.
