TAZ LOV3+ User Manual

18 19
The equipment cannot be used at the same time to stop any falls.
OPERATIONAL TEST
The user loads the positioning lanyard and measures its locking effect. If the device does
not lock, do not use it. Immediately contact the manufacturer – TAZ.
WARNING: It is dangerous to use the handle without holding the free rope. When
overgripping the handle, the user cancels the braking effect of the LOV3 device. It is essen-
tial to practice holding the free rope, and also releasing the handle.
The operation of the device is optimal when the usage conditions are normal, with low
humidity, average temperature (5°C to 25°C), away from sources of dust and grease. When
conditions are not favourable (extreme heat, rain, frost, dust, grease, etc.), there is a risk of
losing the locking action, or of damaging the rope. Additional precautions (locking tests,
braking aid via a friction connector).
ADDITIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION:

device must also be checked by a competent inspector at least every twelve months (an-
nual inspection) who should ll in the identication sheet available in the annex,
or a copy, with the model and its identication details. (Device number, purchase date,
year of manufacture, date of the rst use, exceptional events, history of inspections, etc.)
According to the intensity of the use, and factors such as ambient conditions or regulations,
the inspection frequency may increase.
The device must be retired if it is subjected to exceptional circumstances, important loads
(a force over 300kg, fall arrest), used inadequately (disregarding the above-mentioned
chapters), if taking a long fall or a ground fall, etc.
The device must be retired if it presents any signs of damages, cracks or other degradation.
(See Inspections, Checking Points)

If the use of the device becomes obsolete (due changes in legislation, technical regulations
or due to incompatibility with other devices, etc.), retire the device.
The equipment must imperatively be retired 30 years after its manufacture date.
In order to avoid any future reuse, the retirement needs to be performed by means of a
destruction tool.

from any direct heat sources.
Store the equipment in a dry place, away from UV rays, and chemical products.
The rotation axle of the mobile sheave can be lubricated gently. Proceed cautiously to avoid
contaminating the ropes. (Rope contamination and locking function failure can occur.)
Precautionary Manipulation and Storage: The polyamide, that the rope is made of, is
very sensitive to cuts, friction, heat, UV rays, chemical products, paint, fuel, and acids. (pay
attention to batteries)

TRACEABILITY AND MARKINGS
See diagrams B, C and D and their respective keys
WARNING: Regardless of the type of usage, if the mobile plate is closed by means of
a screw (tightened to a max. torque of 2.90N/m); this must be done exclusively with the
tools provided by TAZ, particularly with the 3mm spacer. Without this one, the essential
movement of the mobile sheave can be altered, and can thus limit the locking effect.
WARNING:
In case of a resale outside the destination country, this notice, as well as the identication
sheet, must be made available in the language of the country of use.
