Honeywell MILLER Soll Vi-Go Mode D'emploi page 14

In conjunction with the full body harness, the fall protection system secures the users against falling when climbing or descending.
When working in or next to the ascent route and during jobs and actions that are not a part of the usual ascent and descent movements, the
climber must additionally secure himself / herself with a lanyard in accordance with ANSI Z359.11/ CSA Z259.11 or a lanyard for safety harness
in accordance with ANSI Z359.3/ CSA Z259.1. This is also applicable for idle positions that are intended to be a break on the fall arrest ladder.
Only suitable anchor devices must be used for this. In all these situations, the lanyard must be held tight in order to prevent a fall. Check the
specifications on the ID plate affixed on the system to determine the maximum number of users.
Important!
An ANSI A14.3/ CSA Z259.2.5 compliant fall protection system should be used by only those persons who are trained and/or are experts or
who are directly supervised by a trained and/or expert person.
1. 9 QUALITY CHECKS AND WARRANTY
All parts of the Söll Vi-Go vertical arrest system have been manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001 quality checks and ISO 14001 environ-
ment management. Individual identification of all Vi-Go components guarantees their complete traceability.
In the delivery condition, all metallic parts of the fall protection system are made of galvanized or stainless steel. A warranty of two years against
manufacturing defects is given under normal operating conditions (an exceptionally corrosive atmosphere can reduce this period). In case of
any doubt, please contact Honeywell Fall Protection. The warranty period starts on the date on which the installer hands over the Söll Vi-Go
vertical arrest system to the owner. The installer is under obligation to maintain the documentation of handing over the fall protection system.
The manufacturer's warranty for the parts shall be void if the installation is improper or does not comply with the installation instructions pre-
scribed by Honeywell Fall Protection.
The manufacturer's warranty does not cover replacement of damaged parts due to a fall or any other improper use.
Note: Honeywell Fall Protection does not bear any warranty for the installation of the fall protection system.
2 INSTALLING THE FALL PROTECTION SYSTEM
2. 1 TOOLS
Minimum tools required for installing the Söll Vi-Go fall protection system:
• 19 mm (3/4'') spanner
• open ring wrench
• 19 mm (3/4'') open spanner
• ratchet including 10 mm (3/8") and 17 mm (11/16") socket
• torque spanner
• cable cutter
2. 2 BASIC PRINCIPLES
At least two persons are required for installing the Söll Vi-Go vertical arrest system. When installing, all measures must be taken for preventing
the tools and system parts from falling.
2. 3 STARTING THE INSTALLATION
Checking the dimensions and measurements:
Before starting work on the construction site, dimensions specified in the installation plan must be checked (e.g. total length of the fall protec-
tion system, distances between the end and intermediate brackets, etc.).
2. 4 DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLATION
2. 4. 1 INSTALLING THE RUNG CLAMPS
It must be ensured that the rung fastening is fixed perpendicular to the rungs.
Assembly (Fig. 4)
1) Hexagon head screw, M12x40 (7/16"-14x2")
2) Large washer, 13 (7/16")
3) Washer, 13 (7/16")
4) Sleeve
5) Nut, M12 (7/16"-14), self-securing
Installation
For installing the rung clamps, place the rung bracket (9) on the rungs and fix it on the U-Bolts (6) behind the rungs. For this, insert the washers
(7) and tighten the M10 (3/8"-16) nuts (8).
For tightening the self-securing nuts, we recommend a tightening torque of 40 Nm (29.5 lbf*ft) for steel ladders and 20 Nm (14.75 lbf*ft) for
aluminum ladders.
