Checklist before and after use

The user must make sure that the ascender is

in full working order and the correct prepara-

tions have been made before each use of the

ascender. If in doubt do not use the ascender

and consult ActSafe Systems AB or an appro-

ved distributor.

Check the ascender and its components

for loose parts, excessive wear and damages.

Damage includes cracks, marks and/or ab-

normal wear indicating the product has been

subject to excessive force or impact energy.

Inspect the rope grab system in particular;

• The rope grab, for example the ridges,

should be intact.

• The rope cover.

• The loop (rope guide).

• The knife.

Further inspect

• The primary connection; the sling and

the karabiner.

• The chassis, especially the area for the

primary connection.

• That the ascender functions and controls

are fully functional.

• No fuel or oil leaks are detectable.

• Regular inspection performed

(according to national regulations).

• All other parts.

• The fuel level is su cient

for the assignment.

If in doubt about the condition of the ascen-

der consult either ActSafe Systems AB or an

approved distributor.

Pay attention to the following points when

assessing the work situation

• Rescue plan and rescue equipment

available.

• Risk analysis performed.

• Backup rope system installed and the fall

protection device (EN 353-2) attached

to the front or rear connection point (EN

361) of the full body harness.

A broken loop will result in the rope to leave

the rope grab with a free fall as the result.

Warning! The picture shows a loop that is worn

to a dimension far from what is acceptable/safe.
