conditions.
To check the fall arrester of the Vi-Go system functionality, refer to the user guide of the appropriate
fall arrester.
Personal fall arrest systems and components subjected to impact loading shall be immediately removed

a competent person to be undamaged and suitable for reuse.
Before each use, visually inspect for the following:
• Inspect all components for physical damages, cracks, wear and corrosion.
