NOTE: For personal lifting the supplied SKYLOTEC Karabiner may be replaced with any other EN362 connector (or any other approved lockable
connector, Non EU countries). All other parts of the Ascender shall only be replaced with original SKYLOTEC parts by an SKYLOTEC-approved service
engineer.
3.4) Personnel ling setup
Displayed here are the four standard personnel lifting setups that are suitable for use with the ACX Ascender. They are shown for illustration
purposes only. For further guidance, please contact your local SKYLOTEC supplier or SKYLOTEC directly.
WARNING:
• Use different color ropes for different rope systems to improve safety. Always hold the unloaded rope when the Ascender is rigged to an anchor.
• Do not use the Ascender Positioning Point as an anchor extension for making pulley systems as thiswould risk double-loading the frame plate,
Sling Bolt and Connection Sling with the risk of havingan insufcient factor of safety on the Connection Sling.
• This setup can be used in cases where the Ascender is rigged to an anchor and the operator wishes to avoid the Ascender dropping when the rope
becomes unloaded. However, the Ascender must be allowed to rotate freely while suspended.
3.5) Equipment, Material and Tool Lifting
The ACX Ascender is, in combination with the SKYLOTEC Equipment Lifting Rope (ELR), approved under the Machinery Directive as an equipment
lifting system provided that all other equipment used also meets lifting requirements. The lifting system must be connected to an appropriate anchor
that meets requirements for load lifting anchors (a competent person shall judge if the anchor is sufcient and safe to use).
NOTE: Lifting operations are ideally performed with a 3 person team. A lifting supervisor, a slinger for attaching loads and an Ascender operator.
For equipment lifting the supplied SKYLOTEC Karabiner may be replaced with any approved shackle with a minimum WLL of 0.5 t. All other parts of
the Ascender shall only be replaced with original SKYLOTEC parts by an SKYLOTEC-approved service engineer.
