Honeywell Miller HANDZUP Anwendungshinweise Seite 11

fication or addition to the equipment without prior consent of the manufacturer,
inclusive of any repair, may only be performed in accordance with the manufac-
turer's procedures. Otherwise, we assume no liability in the event of the product
malfunctioning.
Before each use, a thorough visual examination must be conducted to ensure
the integrity of the lanyard and the integrity of any other equipment that may be
associated with it (harness-belt, anchorages, connecting devices, etc.) and also to
ensure that an appropriate rescue procedure is in place.
See figure 4.
Before each use, check:
• The absence of damage to the rope; cut, abrasion, wear, burning, etc. Where a
rope is supplied with a protective sheath, this must be moved to check the rope
along its entire length See figure5.
• The condition of the stitched terminations of the non-reinforced rope. The
integrity of the swaged terminations of the reinforced rope.
• Lack of distortion of thimbles. See figure 6.
• Lack of damage (tears, wear, burning, etc.) of the protective sheath.
• Lack of distortion or wear of connecting devices and their serviceability.
• Serviceability of the control device.
• Absence of damage (wear, oxidation, deformation, etc.) of the control device.
If there is any doubt, the PPE must be removed from service immediately.
5 - USE
When in use, protect your PPE against any risk related to the working environ-
ment: thermal, electrical, mechanical, chemical, sharp edges, etc.
When in use, regularly check the adjustment and/or fixing components.
The equipment must not be used outside its limits or for any other purpose than
the one it is intended for.
5-1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE
See figure 7.
The Miller HandZup® work positioning lanyard is composed of:
• A length adjuster assembled from 2 aluminium plates, an aluminium slide, a
stainless steel cam and a plastic handle. An EN 362-compliant karabiner is
attached to the length adjuster.
• A 100% polyamide rope or a reinforced polyester rope with steel core, fitted to
an EN 362-compliant karabiner at one end and a stitched or sleeved stop at
the other.
• Some products from the Miller HandZup® range are supplied with a removable
protective sheath for the rope.
Locking operation:
Under tension the length adjuster locks onto the rope via the cam and, correctly
adjusted, allows the user to be supported in a «hands free» working position.
• In the working position, adjustment of the lanyard must not allow a free move-
ment greater than 0.50 metres.
• Ensure that the lanyard remains taut in use.
Adjustment process - increasing the length of the work positioning lanyard (re-
lease-lock):
Apply pressure to the handle of the length adjuster to release the rope and allow it
to be adjusted to a suitable length. Releasing the pressure on the handle causes
the length adjuster to lock onto the rope again provided the rope is taut.
