DANGER
Read this chapter carefully and make sure
you understand its contents.
Use only original spare parts / material
recommended by ActSafe Systems AB.
If opened and closed by anyone other than
competent personnel it may not be water-
tight. If the inside of the ascender is filled with
water the battery can generate flammable
gas, thus causing a risk of explosion.
Other battery chargers may damage the
battery and may cause development of toxic
gases or in worst-case scenarios cause an
explosion.
If unclear of the condition of the ascen-
der, it must be inspected and approved by
ActSafe Systems AB or an ActSafe approved
distributor before use.
The ActSafe Ascender and its equipment
must be checked before and after every
use and must be subject to at least one
inspection per year (national regulations
may require more frequent inspections).
RECOMMENDATION
Plan for rescue when rigging the rope system.
The area of risk under someone working at
height is within a radius of 2/3 of the height and
larger due to strong wind. Other persons must
keep away from the area of risk.
Always secure tools and equipment.
