USER’S MANUAL

ActSafe PME

This user’s manual will not replace instruction and training. The

product should only be used by personnel who have received

training and practice in both the ActSafe PME and handling

components designed to be used as Personal Protective

Equipment.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This machine is designed to be used with kernmantle ropes

measuring 10-12 mm Ø, standard approved according to

EN1891. Please, only use ropes that had been approved by Act

Safe Systems AB as suitable to be used together with the

machine (see specifications on page 24). Similar ropes may be

too soft and will easily be damaged.

A secondary safety line according to EN 353-2 has to be

used together with the working method which is covered

by the European Temporary Work Directive Amendment.

The equipment fulfils the EG-directive 98/37/EG

(Machine). A sit-harness EN 813 or a full-body harness EN 361

with a central attachment point on the front at waist height will

be used. The harness should be so designed as to provide the

user with a comfortable sitting position during the ascent. The

machine’s motor shall be maintained and used as specified in the

instructions of the machine unit.

BEFORE USE

Before the ActSafe PME is used, all components should be

checked and inspected The user should make sure that the

machine is in good working order, that it will be used together

with components designed for the purpose, i. e. components

designed for use in personal fall arrest equipment, and that the

components will also fulfil the requirements that are specified in

this user manual.

INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Check that all parts on the machine are in full working order. If

there is any doubt whatsoever, the machine should be handed

in to a person who is competent to judge and, if necessary,

replace the parts to make it usable again, or to discard the

machine or those parts of the machine that will reduce the

machine’s protective function. Contact your Act Safe-retailer or

a person qualified to

ActSafe PME-INSTRUCTOR

standard

They

will have the necessary qualifications to carry out this type of

service.

The machine should always be checked before use, and should

undergo at least one annual service by the manufacturer, local

agent or personnel educated to

ActSafe PME-INSTRUCTOR

level

The machine has a built-in overload protection, which means

that the machine cannot be used if the load, hanging from the

machine, is too heavy. If the machine has clearly sustained

damage, which could result in a risk of overload, the machine

should be taken out of service, and should be checked by a

person with the necessary competence before being used again.

Make sure that the equipment on the ActSafe PME is complete

before use, particularly the equipment in the rescue kit on the

unit. The contents of the rescue kit are meant only to be used in

case of engine failure at height.

The ActSafe PME should be stored in a dry and clean place

when not in use. Clean and dry the machine with a cloth after

use, removing all moisture and dirt, check the rope grab,

attachments, and machine components for damage. The rope

grab and parts where the rope and slings come into contact

with the machine should be closely checked. Look for sharp

edges that can damage the textile fabrics.

Check carefully the sling under the rope grab, and replace it if

there is any reason to doubt its integrity. During the inspection,

check for damage on the sling which may have been caused by

wear or by sharp objects. If any damage is sustained where

several fibres are broken in the same place, the sling must be

replaced. A visual inspection of the machine should be carried

out before each use.

Check the locking function of the karabiners and look for sharp

edges that may damage the straps of the harness, or the sling

that forms the attachment system to the machine. In the same

way, check the components that form the “rescue kit” which are

packed in the pouch on top of the ActSafe PME. If the slings

have become wet during use, they should be hung to dry at

room temperature.

Before the machine is used, the user should also make sure that

the anchor point for the work rope, which the machine is

connected to, has a braking load of min. 15kN, all other

components shall be CE-marked, UL-classified or classified as

personal fall arrest equipment.

The ActSafe PME is approved to lift max. 300 kg. If the machine

should be overloaded, the overload protection will be released,

and the centrifugal clutch will spin (approx. at 350 kg). After an

overload, the ActSafe PME should first be allowed to cool down,

and the load should be reduced under the limit before testing it

again.

Recording Inspections

Inspections should be recorded as minimum every 6 months

and on the inspection record included in this manual.
