(paragraph 5).
4.1 - General (Fig. 3). Indications: 1; 4; 6; 7;8 11; 12; 30) Pictogram indicating
the device maximum load (kN) while in pulley mode; 31) Correct opening direc-
tion; 32) Range of admitted rope diameters; 33) Pictogram indicating the device
maximum load (kN) while in rope-clamp mode.
4.2 - Traceability (Fig. 3). Indications: T1; T3; T8.
5) CHECKS.
Further to the checks listed below, comply with what indicated in the general
instructions (paragraph 3).
Before each use, verify that: the locking cam - if any - moves without jamming be-
tween the pulley and the rope-clamp position; cam teeth are all present and show
no signs of wear; connectors in use work properly and symmetrically. During each
use: make sure that pulley and rope do not lean against, or rub, sharp edges and
abrasive materials (Fig. 9.3); make sure the rope is under tension to minimize falls;
make sure that there is no rope slack between anchor and user.
6) INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - UP ROLL / UP LOCK.
Up Roll is a double pulley, EN 12278 certified. Up Lock is a double pulley with a
locking/progress capture function, EN 12278 and EN 567 certified. By combin-
ing two pulleys it is possible to set up hauling systems, even self-locking ones (Fig.
4.3÷4.6). To set up a hauling system you can only use EN 362 connectors, EN
567 rope clamps - if any - and an EN 892 or EN 1891 rope with an 8 to 11 mm
diameter (core + sheath) or an EN 564 accessory cord with an 8 mm diameter.
6.1 - Up Lock operation. Up Lock can be used in pulley mode or in rope-clamp
mode. To go from one mode to the other, simply press the locking cam to engage
it (Fig. 5). In pulley mode the rope is free to slide in both directions; in pulley/
rope-clamp mode the rope can only slide in one direction while being captured
in the other.
7) UP YOU GO INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.
Up You Go is a self-locking pre-rigged hauling system that can be set up to obtain
a mechanical advantage of 4:1 or 5:1. The equipment is designed to lift and
release a load or a person in trouble (Fig. 10. The equipment, in real emergency
situations, can be used without an additional backup system. Attention! During
practice drills, the use of an additional backup system is strongly recommended.
7.1 - Operation. 1) Secure the top connector to an anchor point compliant with
EN 795 (Fig. 4.1). 2) Extend the haul system, if necessary, to hook its bottom
connector to the EN 361 attachment point of the harness of the person to be res-
cued. 3) Move the cam of the Up Lock model into the pulley/rope-clamp position
(Fig. 4.1-4.2). 4) Pull the free-end side of the hauling rope to lift the victim to the
desired height.
7.2 - Disengaging the locking function. To disengage the locking function and
switch to pulley-mode, it is necessary to pull the free-end side of the rope lifting the
load just enough to press the locking cam on Up Lock device until it clicks (Fig.
5.1÷5.2). To engage again the locking function, press again the locking cam
until it grabs the rope (Fig. 5.3÷5.4). Attention! Disabling the locking function

may cause the rescued operator or the load to fall, therefore it is essential to firmly
hold with the hand the side of the rope that comes out of the device.
7.3 - Transport / storage. Up You Go is equipped with an integrated sheath that
allows the product to be compacted for easy transport and storage, reducing the
risk of tangling or snagging on something. The one-meter long version fits in the
sheath completely and must be inserted inside the protection as shown (Fig. 7.1).
In the case of longer versions, the equipment must be first shortened to the length
of about one meter and only at this point it can be inserted in the sheath. For these
versions, the excess rope needs to be wrapped in a bundle as shown (Fig. 7.3).
Attention! Any different mode of placement of the product inside the sheath could
cause tangling of the rope (Fig. 7.2).
8) REPLACEMENT PARTS/ACCESSORIES.
Up You Go haul system is only compatible with the replacement parts and specific
accessories listed below: sheath* (Ref. No. KSACNYL45); rope guide* (Ref. No.
6V672 - Patent Pending); Fixbar* (Ref. No. 6V827); Fix-O* (Ref. No. 6V844);
Ovx connector (Ref. No. 2C502). Attention! The replacement parts/accessories
marked with an asterisk (*) do not constitute PPE by themselves. Attention! Before
installing replacement parts/accessories, read and understand the instructions for
use of the equipment on which they are going to be installed. Attention! Before
using the equipment, verify that replacement parts/accessories have been cor-
rectly installed.
8.1 - Rope guiding device. To replace the rope guiding device, follow the se-
quence of instructions as shown (Fig. 13.3). Attention! The rope guiding device
can also be used as an accessory for the pulley Up Roll and is suitable for use with
ropes with a maximum diameter of 9 mm.
8.2 - Connectors. The connectors supplied with the equipment can be replaced,
if necessary, with other EN 362 connectors equipped with anti-rotation system.
8.3 - Anti-rotation elements. Up You Go hauling systems incorporate Fixbar and
Fix-O positioning device for connectors. They help connectors inserted in the pul-
leys maintain the correct position. Attention! Fixbar e Fix-O positioning devices
are not PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) and are not designed to hold the user's
weight. The diagrams show how to correctly install them (Fig. 13.1÷12). Atten-
tion! An installation error can have very serious consequences, any installation
method different from the one shown is forbidden.
