The purpose of the TRAM Safety System is to protect the user from a fall from height. If the system is not properly
used, maintained or repaired, it may no longer protect against a fall from height.
Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings contained in this manual could result in injury or death.
Improper operation, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and could result in injury or death.
All work must comply with the safety regulations of the jurisdiction in which the TRAM System is installed and
operated, including industry Codes of Practice and Standards.
No one should make any alterations or additions to the equipment. Any repair shall only be carried out in
accordance with authorized procedures.
The TRAM shall not be used outside its limitations as described in this Manual, or for any purpose other than that
for which it is intended.
Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety
rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an
accident occurs.
Standfast Corporation cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The
warnings in this publication and on the product are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method
or operating technique not specifically recommended by Standfast Corporation is used, you must satisfy yourself
that it is safe for you and others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or made unsafe by
the operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair procedures you choose.
All inspection, maintenance, servicing and repair work on the TRA System shall be
carried out by a Competent Person

The operation and maintenance of the TRAM must comply with the safety Legislation and Regulations of the
jurisdiction in which it is used.
Users of the TRAM System must be properly trained and competent. Further enquiries regarding training
materials and courses should be directed to your Standfast TRAM Dealer or by email to: [e-mail]
The TRAM restraint belt must only be used when the TRAM system is used as a total restraint system. The TRAM
restraint belt must not be used if there is a risk of free fall.
Total restraint means that there is no risk of fall as the user is prevented from reaching a fall edge. This is achieved
through combination of anchor point location and lanyard length.

In fall arrest applications, the TRAM System should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way,
as to minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance.
When the TRAM system is used as a fall-arrest system consideration should be given as to how any necessary
rescue could be safely achieved.
The operator should ensure that when the TRAM is used as a fall-arrest system that the distance required or
necessary to arrest the fall of a falling worker does not exceed the distance available on site.
If the TRAM has been used to arrest a fall it should be not used again until it is confirmed in writing by a
competent person that it is acceptable to do so.

Attach a DO NOT OP RAT or similar warning tag to start switch or controls before performing maintenance or
repairing the TRAM, if it is a vehicular installation. When appropriate, attach tags at the engine and at each user’s
position and disconnect starting controls. nsure any protective locks, controls or inhibitors are in the applied
position before commencing work.
Some installations will require the use of fall protection equipment during removal and installation of the TRAM
system. A service platform or walkway is recommended.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that access is achieved in accordance with local regulations and
standards.
Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, hearing protection, gloves and other protective equipment as required by job
conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can catch on controls or other parts of the TRAM.
Use caution when removing springs. Gradually loosen (do not remove) the last bolts or nuts located at opposite
ends of any spring energy device, until all elastic energy is dissipated, before completely removing the fasteners.
Do not carry out hot work on the TRAM device without first consulting your Standfast TRAM Dealer. Your TRAM
contains plastic components that may not function correctly in the event that hot work is carried out on the
TRAM.
Compressed air can cause personal injury. When using compressed air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield,
protective clothing and protective shoes. The maximum air pressure must be below 200 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning
purposes.
Wear eye protection at all times when cleaning the TRAM system with hot and/or pressurised water. Pressurised
water could cause debris and/or hot water to be blown at the worker and result in personal injury.

- 7 – TR-06-M-002 Rev D 2019
scaping fluid under pressure, even a pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury or
possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury
immediately.
The TRAM System and replacement parts (e.g. brake pads) shipped from the factory are asbestos free.
Support equipment and attachments correctly when working beneath them.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on or around the TRAM when it is being serviced.
Do not attempt repairs you do not understand.
The list of warnings above is not exhaustive. It is the responsibility of the user or maintenance personal performing
the work to identify, mitigate and prevent all hazards while preforming the work.
