STOPPING
Gradually decrease the engine speed to an idle speed, and then
slide ignition switch to STOP position.
RUNNING IN
The machine is equipped with overload protection that is based
on a centrifugal function. When the engine speed increases, two
brake shoes are forced towards a drum; the friction causes the
rope grab to be driven. If the machine is run according to the
instructions, the overload protection will withstand 300 kg. This
level will change if the engine’s power diminishes, e.g. if lower
quality fuel is used, if the air filter is dirty, or if the weather
conditions are bad.
When the ActSafe PME is new, a somewhat lower lift power may
be experienced due to the fact that the brake shoes have not yet
been run in. If the machine, despite a running in period, still has
a low lift capacity, this can be due to worn brake shoes. Contact
your nearest ActSafe Service Workshop.
DESCRIPTION OF WORKING METHODS
A new type of technology regarding fall protection working
methods and rescue has been introduced in the energy and
transport industry under the name Active Fall Protection System,
Fall Protection-Working Methods-Rescue. This system requires
both modern equipment and good specialised knowledge and
skilfulness of an individual user.
SUMMARY
The work method developed by Act Safe Systems AB is based on
a technique, which allows the user to work at heights on a taut
rope during the entire work process.
All products that are part of rescue equipment and subject to
marking (CE-marked for EEC-countries) by laws must be tested
and licensed.
This work technology is in many aspects has its origins with the
protection technology used during mountain climbing, however,
the technology can be modified in order to fully meet the
requirements of industry.
The active fall arrest and its work methods have been used in
many companies for a long time, e.g. in some parts of the
European power supply industry, and to a great extent also
on oil drilling platforms etc.
We at Act Safe Systems AB are convinced the benefits that
these methods offer to users for improving both working
safety and efficiency. Having knowledge of ergonomics gives
the user the ability to prevent work accidents.
Our professional trainers and those of our agents have much
experience in climbing, rope works and rescue methods and
are well qualified to train the staff of your company.
This instruction manual is aimed at helping you to understand
the technology and its advantages regarding safety and
efficiency, which applies both to normal work equipment and
rescue equipment. This instruction does not replace any
training and does not contain any detailed description of
material and/or limitations to it. Therefore, this instruction
only serves as a reference material.
