Pre-use checks

The Latchways PRD has been designed to be easy to use, incorporating a range of features
to aid pre-use checks and on-site periodic examination. This minimises the need to return the
device to Latchways or an authorised agent. No repairs, modifications or alterations are to be
carried out on the Latchways PRD. If any part of the Latchways PRD is found to be faulty, or a
fault is suspected, the device shall be removed from service and advise sought from Latchways
or an authorised agent.
