CABLE END WITH CABLE GRIPS
Assembly (Fig.12)
Installation
Four cable grips and one thimble are required for making a cable loop (see figure 12). Lay the rope (1) around the thimble (2) to make a loop
and join both rope strings using cable grips.
Guide the U-bolt (3) enclosing both the ends through the holes provided in the block (4), insert the washers (5) and tighten the M5 nuts (6).
Always ensure that the operating cable is mounted next to the blocks and the free- end of the cable is mounted next to the U-bolts.
The distance between the cable clamps should be 6 to 8-times the cable diameter (60 to 80 mm (2.4" to 3")).
After preparing the cable loops, cover both the rope ends with a shrink-fit hose (Ø 9,5 mm (3/8") for an 8 mm (5/16") cable and Ø 12,7 mm
(1/2") for a 10 mm (3/8") cable)(Fig. 13).
2. 4. 5 INSTALLING THE EXTENSION POST
The Söll Vi-Go Extension Post is a EN 353-1:2014 compliant vertical fall protection system and permitted for a maximum of four users.
In addition, the Extension Post is certified as a single anchorage point for one person. The large eye of the post (13 in figure 14) serves as the
anchorage point, providing fall protection when transferring to and from the system.
When used as a single anchorage point, a maximum of one user and a maximum anchoring force of 22 kN (4,945 lbf) are permitted.
The single anchorage point can also be used for anchoring the rescue devices.
2. 4. 6 Assembly (Fig. 14)
2. 4. 7 Installation
Fix the Extension Post using the rear clamps and the front plates.
Fix the upper fastening point to the uppermost ladder rung and the lower fastening point to the fifth rung from the top. (Fig. 15)
The distance between the top ladder rung and the top end of the Extension Post should be a maximum of 1310 mm (4.3 ft).
If the Extension Post is mounted on an aluminium ladder, use M16 (3/4''-11) threaded bars to strengthen the ladder rungs on which the upper
and lower fastening points of the Extension Post are located.
Guide the threaded rod (2) through the corresponding rung (1) and fix it on both sides using washers (3) and M16 (3/4''-11) nuts (4).(Fig. 16)
Use the rear clamp (3) to fasten the lower end of the Extension Post (figure 22). Guide it on the rung from behind and fix it using the M10 hex-
agon head screws (4), washers (5) and the M10 (3/8"-16) nuts (6).
Then fasten the Extension Post on the top rung of the ladder and on the third rung from top as shown in figure 18.
Fix the front plate (7) on the Extension Post (1) from the front. Use the M10 (3/8"-16) hexagon head screws (4), washers (5) and nuts (6) for
connecting it to the rear clamp (3) provided behind the rung.
In order to fasten the upper cable end, insert the sleeve (11) into the rope eye and fix the rope on the attachment point (2) using the M12
(7/16"-14) hexagon head screw (8), the large washer (9), the two small washers (10) and the M12 (7/16"-14) nut (12) as shown in figure 19..
3 MAINTANANCE
3. 1 ACCEPTANCE
CHECKLIST FOR ACCEPTANCE
Söll Vi-Go vertical arrest system compliant with ANSI A14.3.
The site manager of the installation company must fill the checklist completely using an indelible pen. The site manager is responsible for the
correctness of all data. If a checkpoint is answered with "no", it must be clarified in the "comments" section in the list on page 38.
3. 2 REGULAR INSPECTION
A fall protection system subjected to a fall may be used again only after examination by a Competent Person. The fall arrester check/acceptance
sheet must be sent to the manufacturer's workshop for checking and maintenance.
Depending on the application and operating conditions, a Competent Person must check the fall protection system for its flawless condition as
and when required, and at least once a year. It may be repaired only in the manufacturer's workshop owing to safety reasons.
A Competent Person is:
"a person who has adequate knowledge in the area of personal safety equipment for protection against falling owing to his/her technical ed-
ucation (e.g. participation in and successful completion of a training program) and experience and who is knowledgeable about the prevailing
national industrial safety regulations, accident prevention regulations, guidelines and generally acceptable technical standards (e.g. standards,
-specifications, technical regulations) to such an extent that he/she can assess the safe working condition and proper use of personal safety
equipment for protection against falls from a height. "
To check the fall arrester of Söll Vi-Go vertical arrest system functionality refer the User Guide of appropriate Fall Arrester.
3. 3 STORING THE SHUTTLE
Proper care of your PPE will ensure longer life of the product and your safety. Be sure to adhere strictly to these guidelines: Clean with water
