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.
