OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLIMBING
CARRIAGE NO. 932 CE
1PURPOSE OF CLIMBING CARRIAGE
Climbing carriage No. 932 CE is a device designed for personal use to be connected to safety
rail structures (Safety profile B) to protect user from risks to his health and safety during
operation.
2COMMISSIONING AND INSPECTIONS
2.1 Competence and details to be inspected
The user must have appropriate training and experience to use the climbing carriage or he must work under qualified supervision.
Prior to use the user should always perform visual inspection of the carriage as well as of other parts of the system. Attention must then be paid
to the following aspects:
–The full body harness is in the condition stipulated in the relevant regulations.
–The climbing carriage is in a proper condition.
–The safety ladder structures as well as the structures onto which safety ladder system is fastened are intact and in good order. If
necessary the installation instruction can be found on manufacturers website www.safetyladder.fi
2.2 Standards applied
The climbing carriage/ safety rail combination has been tested according to standard EN 353-1:2002 and method VG11 RfU11.073 and meets the
requirements of the Directive on personal protective equipment 89/686/EEC. The type examination certificate has been granted by the Finnish
Institute of Occupational Health (Työterveyslaitos), Topeliuksenkatu 41a, FI-02500 Helsinki. Notified body no 0403.
2.3 Inspection of personal equipment
The climbing carriage must be checked on a regular basis in order to reveal any possible defects and/or weakening. A basic inspection of
personal accessories (climbing carriages) is to be performed in connection with the annual inspection of the other personal accessories (full body
harness and ropes).In the regular inspection the date of inspection as well as any appropriate comments shall be recorded on the product register
card.
3MAINTENANCE/DURABILITY
The structures of the climbing carriages are made and acid proof steel and nylon, so they are not prone to corrosion and weather damage. The
carriages have no joints or precise fits. They do not need to be oiled or greased. The carriages withstand even rough handling and there are no
special requirements on their storage or maintenance. The structure of the climbing carriages has been developed for aggressive use, which means
that prolonged heavy use in poor conditions will not prevent reliable functioning.
NB!
If an inspection of the climbing carriage reveals exceptional wear and tear, a broken spring (the latch of the carriage is not automatically outside of
the carriages body), an opening in the spring absorber of over 10 mm or the nylon parts are worn out, the carriage must be immediately taken out
of service and sent to the manufacturer Eltel Networks Oy for inspection and repair. The carriage must be immediately taken out of service in case
of falling on the supportanse of the carriage.
NB!
The arrow must point upwards and the guide pin must be on the left side of the carriage.
4INSTRUCTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
4.1
Follow carefully the instructions for use supplied with full-body harness and safety rope.
Install the carriage into the rail so that the arrow points upwards and the guide pin is on the left side of the carriage.
The climbing carriage may be installed into the profile (lower end of the profile is abt. 0.7m above ground level) either by opening carriage stopper
no. 851 or in case of absence of the stopper by direct drawing the carriage into profile. Taking the carriage out of the profile is performed in reverse
order.
4.2
Connect the climbing carriage to the full-body harness by snap hook (connection point A or two points marked with ½ A to be used together
simultaneously).

4.3 Compatibility
Make sure that this product is compatible with the other parts of your equipment. Check with instructions for every single piece of your
equipment. Climbing carriage No 932 CE is only compatible with the system containing safety rail B. Behind safety rail B you can see marking No
930 CE or No 931 CE or No 932 CE which means that safety rail is intended to be used only with climbing carriage No 932 CE.
4.4
Lean heavily backwards on the full body harness when climbing. Distance between the front edge of the profile and full body harness connection
point should be as short as possible. Do not add anything (damper or anything else) between the carriage and the full body harness. The carriage
will then move without obstruction. The hands are needed mainly for steering the climb.
4.5
If the dragging force acting on the carriage ceases – e.g. during a fall – the climbing carriage turns and locks onto the next recesse claw of the
profile at a maximum distance of 15 cm.
Instruction! The user should take special care during the last two meters before leaving the profile.
Warning! It is prohibited to do any changes, additions or refits to the climbing carriage without written permission of
the manufacturer.
Warning! Do not use the climbing carriage any other purpose than climbing.
Warning! Do not use the system under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Warning! To avoid the worst possible situation take care that there are always at least two meters of free space under
the user.
