SAFETY

Rope recommendations

ActSafe PME is designed for EN 1891 ropes.

However, all EN 1891 ropes does not per-

form well with the ascender. ActSafe has

tested a variety of ropes; please contact

usfor more information about dierent

rope qualities.

Please read and understand the tips and

directions regarding ropes below and you

will get more out of your ropes as well as

your ActSafe Ascender.

The user should carry out tests with the rope

normally used prior to operations involving the

ascender. Consult ActSafe for more information

and assistance in the test of the rope.

A new rope will get an increased service life if it is

put to soak in cold water before the rst use.

Avoid getting sand or dirt onto/into the ropes

since it will wear the rope grab and loop. Use a

rope mat, rope bag or similar.

Keep your ropes in good condition, check with

your distributor / manufacturer on how to do this.

If the rope has been soiled by dirt, sand, gravel,

oil or grease, consult your manufacturer on the

proper action.

TIPS

As a rule of the thumb one can say that

extremely soft ropes don’t get good grip in

the rope grab. A very soft rope may result

in poor lifting capacity since the rope starts

to slip or in the worst-case scenario even a

jam.

NOTE! Not all EN 1891 ropes perform in a

similar way. They have slightly dierent cha-

racteristics (sti, soft, thick/thin mantle etc).

A rope that has been in contact with acid

must not be used under any circumstances.

Scrap the rope!
