1. Important Information
Ropeways with hydraulic promotion rope tensioning arrangement have to be switched o before beginning of the evacuation, in order to prevent a moving of the rope by the tensioning arrangement. Evacuation work within the endangerment range of the rope may take place only after the disconnection was operated.

The owner of the ropeway system is solely responsible for the training of the evacuation personnel. Obligatory training
repetition provides confidence to the evacuation personnel.
Before usage all devices and units must be visually inspected to ensure that the material used is functioning and complete. All materials are to be checked on an annual basis according to EN 365.
