3.4 Safety instructions

The ART Lite Pod may be used solely by qualied and trained persons who are familiar with corresponding
devices and situations! Only those persons are authorised from whom it can be expected that they per­form their work reliably. Persons whose responsiveness is inuenced by, for example, drugs, alcohol, use of
medicines or illness are not authorised since these factors impair safety. People who are not involved are
not permitted to stay in the work area and must be instructed to leave the work area.

During deployment, compliance with all relevant accident prevention and occupational safety regulations
is mandatory.

Page 6/14

Before deployment, make sure that the ART Lite Pod is complete and in
a awless condition. Please ensure that all parts of the system are in

awless condition. Even just one defective part can impair the reliable
functioning of the entire system. The ART Lite Pod must not be used if

there are signs of damage or if you have doubts about the awless condi­tion.

If the equipment has been stressed by a fall, the written consent of an ex­pert person is required before the equipment can be deployed again.

A plan must be available about the rescue measures and the plan must be
taken into consideration when working on possible emergencies.

Do not make any modications or undertake any supplements on the
equipment without prior, written consent from the manufacturer. Likewise,
perform corrective maintenance only in compliance with the measures sta­ted by the manufacturer.

If you have any specic questions or doubts about the safety of the ART Lite
Pod, please get in touch with Vetter GmbH.

Caution! Check and if applicable re-tighten all
threaded connections before the deployment!

4. Preparing for use

4.1 Mission preparation

9 Check the local circumstances and adapt the strut length accordingly.

9 Get all parts of the set plus the accessories such as the karabiner snap

hooks, guide pulleys and cable winches ready.

9 Please make absolutely sure that there is sucient space underneath

the user before each deployment to denitely exclude any possibility of
an impact on the ground or on another obstacle in case of a fall.

9 Please also note that the free fall is restricted to the minimum.

9 Make sure the slinging point is above the user.

9 The following hazards can impair the functioning of the equipment and

must always be avoided: e.g., extreme temperatures, stress on the con­nectors due to sharp edges, slack ropes, eects of chemicals, electrical
inuences, cuts, abrasion, climatic impacts, oscillating motions during
falling.

5. Operating instructions

5.1 Assembling the ART Lite Pod

9 First use the bolts on the head piece to attach the struts to the

non-extendible side as can be seen in Figs 1 + 2. Make sure
that the chamfered side of the strut head faces the outside.
(See marking)

9 Then fasten the extendible strut ends with the bolts to the

base plate (Fig. 3). While doing so, make sure the eyelets of
the plates and the chamfered side of the strut ends are facing
towards the inside (Fig. 4).

9 The base plates can be secured against slipping with faste-

ning elements that are suitable for the substrate.

9 To correspondingly adjust the height of the struts to the de-

ployment situation, extend the struts manually and arrest
them at the desired height using the bolts. The numbering of
the holes helps with the orientation.

9 Finally, the tripod needs to be secured against slipping/splay-

ing with the provided chain. To accomplish that, lead the
chain through the rings (Fig. 5) and clamp the chain accordin­gly. After that, hook the chain lock together. (Fig. 6)

functioning!

4. Locking - Smoothness of operation and functioning

5. Reassemble the piston and strut tube and check for awless functio­ning and smoothness of operation.

6. The accessories - head plate and base plates also need to be regularly
inspected!

7. Above all, make sure that all adjusting bolts, securing pins, nuts and
locks are present and work awlessly!

8. Also check the legibility of the product identication!

Tighten the pink eyelet with 75 Nm (664 lbf in) and
the nut of the rigid eyelet with 34 Nm (301 lbf in)!

ATTENTION: Wear protective gloves! Danger of crushing!

Page 9/15

Rope winch/Rescue lifting device

TO LEAD THE CABLE OUT OF THE WINCH WINDING DRUM:

ATTENTION: Do not reach into the cable drum! Fingers could get pulled in
and crushed!

9 Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise until the carabiner can be connected to the rescue

harness anchorage point.

9 After connecting the carabiner to the rescue harness anchorage point, turn the crank handle

clockwise to activate the lifting movement. Lift the person until he/she can be grasped safely by
the intervention crew members. When there is no further risk of fall, detach the carabiner from the
harness anchorage point.

9 If it is necessary to lower the injured party, activate the lowering movement by turning the crank

handle counter-clockwise. The system has a built-in brake so that the descent will stop as soon
as action on the crank is ceased.

This winch must not be used as a personal lifting system unless the person being
winched is secured in parallel with fall arrest personal protective equipment.

5.2 Dismantling

Dismantle in the reverse order of setup.

5.3 Care, maintenance, storage

The user‘s safety depends on the eectiveness and the durability of the equipment.

Store all the complete equipment in a cool and dry location. Protect the equipment against sharp edges, direct
heat, moisture, vibrations and ultraviolet degradation!

Have a person authorised by PROTECTA International perform a visual inspection and performance test of the

and after each use and/or deployment but in any case at least once annually.

REGULARLY CHECK, AND MORE PARTICULARLY BEFORE INTERVENTION:

9 The general condition of the cable and in particular, any signs of crushing, broken strands, unstranding,

bends, swellings, thermal changes (welding) or oxidization. Any one of these defects should be considered
sucient to immediately decommission the winch.

9 The strength of the cable attachment to the drum. To do this, check that the attaching part is correctly secu-

red to the drum (total absence of play) and that the cable end protrudes more than 2 cm from the attaching
part. Do not use the winch if you are not sure about the correct attachment of the cable.

9 The condition of the carabiner, in particular its automatic closing and the correct rotation of its trunnion.

9 The condition of the attaching parts.

9 Above all, make sure that all adjusting bolts, securing pins, nuts and locks are present and work awlessly!

9 Also check the legibility of the product identication!

ATTENTION: Protective gloves and safety footwear must also be worn also
during maintenance work to prevent injuries!
