BEND Ref. PN 5000 TROLLEY & RECOMMENDED PPE Ref. PN 5000 Step 3A: Curved Alu. Rail (Outer Wall Mounted): Ref. PN 5000 (09A) Join the curved Alu. Rail with the Alurail intermediate. Match the sections of both the Alu. Rail. Place the junction plate on either side of the Alu. Rail with the holes of junction plate matching with those of Alu. Rail intermediate and curved alu rail fix both the plates by 4 sets of fasteners. Ensure that the gap between the two rails is not greater than 1.5 mm. Step 4A: Trolley For Wall Ref. PN 5000 (13) Insert the trolley in the Alu. Rail extremity. Press the termination of the extremity and pass the trolley over the termination. After the trolley slides on the Alu. Rail the termination cones back to its original position ensuring that the trolley does not slide off the Alu. Rail. Step 4B: Trolley For Ceiling/Floor: Ref. PN 5000 (12) Step 3B: Curved Alu. Rail (Inner Wall Mounted): Ref. PN 5000 (09B) Insert the trolley in the Alu. Rail extremity. Press the termination of the extremity and pass the trolley over the termination. After the trolley slides on the Alu. Rail the termination comes back to its original position ensuring that the trolley does not slide off the Alu. Rail. Join the curved alurail with the Alurail intermediate. Match the sections of both the Alu.rail. Place the junction plate on either side of the Alu. Rail with the holes of junction plate matching with those of Alu. Rail intermediate and curved alu rail fix both the plates by 4 sets of fasteners. Ensure that the gap between the two rails is not greater than 1.5 mm. RECOMMENDED PPE Once the system is installed the user can use a work positioning harness along with a shock absorbing twin lanyard to climb up. He can use the double lanyard when he needs to exit the fall arrest system while working on towers. When the user needs to exit from the fall arrest system in a horizontal plane towards the edge of the tower he may need to travel restraint lanyard model 2003. While working on the tower a work positioning lanyard helps in attaining a comfortable position. Step 3C: Curved Alu. Rail (Floor/ceiling): Ref. PN 5000 (10) Join the curved alurail with the Alurail intermediate. Match the sections of both the Alu.rail. Place the juncti-on plate on either side of the Alu. Rail with the holes of junction plate matching with those of Alu. Rail intermediate and curved alu rail fix both the plates by 4 sets of fasteners. Ensure that the gap between the two rails is not greater than 1.5 mm. 30 31

PROOF LOADING PRE USE-CHECKS PROCESS OF PROOF LOADING OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LIFE LINES Checks and Precautions The cable termination may be proof loaded upto 6KN using hydra jaws testing equipment. The hydra jaws equipment pulls the wire out of the termination, using a hydraulic cylinder. The pull force is increased to 6kN, & the pressure gauge,mounted on the cylinder displays the exact tension achieved. Once 6KN is achieved the tension is released. Post Installation Inspection Once installed, it is important to inspect the complete line by moving the entire length of life line. On site testing of the receiving structure may be provided at an extra cost. Now we know that the cable termination is successful Pre Use-Checks It is mandatory for the Site Inspector/ Supervisor and the actual users of the system to perform a thorough check of the same before carrying out work. KARAM conducts a brief training of all concerned personnel on the subject of Pre-Use Inspection of the System as per a defined guideline after the system has been installed by KARAM personnel. Checking the receiving structure Do not use the system receiving structure is found weak. Checking the System Clean the system from dust/dirt. Check for any mechanical defects. Check for wear and tear in all components or unusual bending or deformation. Check for any modifications done by the user. Check for any missing component. Check for any damages that may have been caused due to welding while maintenance of other equipment. Check the Identification Plate. The system needs to be put out of service if the label is not legible or missing. Hydra Jaws Lifeline Testing Checking the Cable See that there is sufficient tension on the cable by checking the tension indicator in the shock absorber. Check the condition of the cable. Wear hand gloves and check the wire from all sides. Check for broken strands or any deformity in the cable. Report if strands are found broken. 32 33

PRECAUTIONS WHILE USING ANNUAL INSPECTION KARE Precautions While Using the System The following points of precautions needs to be considered For safe use of the Fixed Line Systems The life line is for the purpose of fall protection while working at height. A back up fall arrest system is required when transitioning on and off the life line system. Never disengage the fall arresting lanyard from the life line while working at height. Avoid using grease to lubricate the system. If any fall is reported put the system out of use. Contact the manufacturer for repairs and re-validation. Only certified KARAM full body harness with proper attachment anchorage points should be worn while using KARAM Fixed Line Systems. Do not alter or misuse this equipment.
