1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Every user of the Söll Vi-Go vertical fall arrest system (hereinafter also referred to as "Vi-Go system")
must read and understand this guide before using the system. Actions contravening this guide may
put peoples' lives at risk. Users must be trained based on the operating instructions and these user
instructions before starting work and at regular intervals. Additionally, they must be trained at least
once a year.
The operating company of the Vi-Go system and the user of the fall arrester must ensure that this guide
is kept along with the corresponding fall arrester at a dry and readily accessible place.
The operating company must present this guide at the request of the manufacturer Honeywell Fall
Protection Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter "Honeywell") or one of its authorized dealers. It
must be supplied with the adequate fall arresters of the Vi-Go systems. Söll Vi-Go and Söll VC500 series
fall arresters must be operated only in original Vi-Go systems that have the Söll Vi-Go EN / ANSI / CSA
type certificate. Using systems of other manufacturers may hamper the functioning of the fall arrester.
In such cases, Honeywell and its authorized dealers shall refuse product liability. The operating
company shall then be completely responsible.
The fall arrester of the Vi-Go system must always be attached to the sternal (front) attachment point
of the EN 361:2002-05, NBR 15836, CSA Z259.2.5-17, or ANSI Z359.11-2021 compliant full body
harness. The fall protection system must be handled with care.
The cable attachment points of the Vi-Go system must not be used as a transport anchor or for
fastening loads.
The functional capability of the system must be inspected visually before and while using the installed
fall protection system.
The operating company of the fall protection system must ensure that a rescue plan (that takes into
account all possible emergencies which may occur when working) is available.
The user must be in good health and must not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicines.
Corresponding instructions must be followed if other personal protective equipment is used.
Every user can be influenced and fall due to the movement of the anchor line initiated by the other user.
The checklist (see chapter Checklist for acceptance) must be filled by the manager of the installation
company completely and properly using an indelible pen.
Important!
Before using the fall protection system, ensure that the required free space of 3 m (9.8 ft) under the
user's feet is available. Otherwise, the user may not be sufficiently protected against hitting the ground
or obstacles.
