3. OPERATION

The high quality operation of the rollsafe ensures
optimum movement along the lifeline. The operator
must remain within the working area while moving or
working. The maximum angle, which must not be
exceeded, is 20°. (fig.1) The operator must not move
away from the axis of the lifeline by a distance of
more than half the height of the lifeline (fig.2).
For any application other than those explicitly
described above, please contact your TRAC-
TEL® installer.

Before each use of the rollsafe :
• If possible, visual inspection of the device.
• Check the compatibility of the rollsafe with the
equipment used.
• The rollsafe 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).
• We recommend to inspect the rollsafe at least once
a year.

4. STORAGE

7. PERMISSIBLE ATTACHMENTS

See Section 12 « Permissible attachments » of the
travsafe™ operating and maintenance manual.

8. OPERATING PROBLEMS

A braking phenomenon may occur when passing
over anchors, depending on the height of the line in
relation to the operator. For this reason it is advisable
to assist the traveller by giving it an initial speed one
metre before passing over the anchor.
NB: If a retractable lifeline is used (Blocfor type or
equivalent), the operator must hold the wire rope,
lock it by pulling sharply downwards and follow the
device as it moves.
