DANGER
Risk of falling
– Before using the very narrow-aisle truck, the oper-
ator must be instructed in using the abseil system
by a technical expert.
– The operating instructions located in the rucksack
must be read and followed.
– Before each use, the user must carry out a visual
inspection to make sure that the abseil system is
in a perfect condition and is ready to use.
– Before each use, the safety harness must be
checked to make sure it is in the initial position. In
addition, the free rope length between the lifting
point in the overhead guard and the safety har-
ness chest eyelet must be adjusted correctly. Only
a little slack rope is permitted between the lifting
point and the safety harness chest eyelet.
– If additional bores are created on the front edge of
the overhead guard, a redirecting point for the
rope can be provided. This redirecting point routes
the rope in a more favourable position for the per-
son abseiling. The carabiner, which is also inclu-
ded in the scope of delivery, is hooked into this
bore. The rope is then guided through this carabi-
ner. Carabiners must always be closed.
– Abseiling exercises are only permitted under the
supervision of an expert.
– In Germany, the abseiling procedure must be
practised at least once a year. We recommend
these practice exercises for other countries, even
if they have not explicitly been made compulsory.
– No changes may be made to the emergency ab-
seil system.
– Only abseil systems that meet the requirements of
the standards may be used.
– The emergency abseil system may only be used
for its proper purpose of rescuing a person from
the cab of a turret truck.
– Once the exercises are complete, the emergency
abseil system must be correctly repacked, sealed
and stowed away by a technical expert.
– See the operating instructions for the respective
abseil system for the maximum permissible serv-
ice life (replacement state of wear).
– At the end of the maximum permissible service life
(replacement state of wear), the abseil system
must be disposed of and replaced by a new sys-
tem.
The emergency abseil system is installed in
the driver's cab and is ready for use.
The safety harness, the descender device and
the rope are located in the rucksack.
