8.3 – PROCEDURE FOR USING THE VENTRAL ROPE
CLAMP (EN 567)
Fig. 6 – The foot rope clamp "FOOT FUTURA", used
together with the ventral rope clamp and a handle and/
or BODY FUTURA, helps to keep the user's body upright
facilitating ascent. Warning: "FOOT FUTURA" is not a
personal protective equipment (PPE) and must therefore
never be used on its own!
Warning, rope clamps are not fall-arrester devices:
make sure that there are no slacks on the rope (fig. 7).
Warning:
- never push the rope clamp up against the knot: it could be
very difficult to release it, if not possible (fig. 8),
- use your thumb to work the toothed cam to make the rope
clamp slide downwards (fig. 9), do not touch the tooth's
safety device (fig. 10): risk of accidental opening!
8.4 – PROCEDURE FOR USING THE ASCENDER ON
THE WORKING ROPE (EN 12841)
Warning: before positioning the BODY FUTURA onto the
working rope verify that:
- the anchoring points, both of the working rope and the
safety rope, are above the user and conform to standard
EN 795,
- the connector are fitted with a gate locking device and
conform to standard EN 362,
the system used to connect the handle to the harness is no
more than 1 meter long.
Fig. 4 – Correctly positioned on working line (read p.to 8.2).
In conditions of absolutely safety, before using the BODY
FUTURA, verify that:
- it is positioned in parallel with the rope,
- it slides in the right direction (upwards),
- it locks in the other direction (downwards) - Fig. 5
- the working rope is not slack between the anchoring point
and the user,
- you are connected to the safety rope by a fall arrester
device conforming to standard EN 12841 type A or EN
353-2 (as for example BACK-UP),
Fig. 11 – Example of correct use: the user uses the BODY
FUTURA and a handle for progression on the working
rope (1) being connected up to the safety rope (2) by a fall
arrester device at the same time.
Fig. 12 – Example of incorrect and dangerous use: the user
is not connected to the safety rope (2) by a fall arrester
device.
9 – PRE AND POST USE CONTROLS
Control and make sure the product:
- has not suffered any mechanical deformation,
- does not show any signs of cracks or wear, in particular
always keep any eye on the wear condition in the sliding
zone of the rope and in the opening for hooking up the
connector to the bottom harness (D),
- that the safety device (C) automatically completely closes
again after being released.
