    - Report any exceptional event regarding his PPE.
    (Examples:fall or fall arrest, use or storage at extreme temperatures, modification outside manufacturer's
    facilities,etc.).

    2. Preliminary observations

    Verify the presence and legibility of the serial number and the CE mark.
    Verify that the product lifetime has not been exceeded.
    Compare with a new device to verify there are no modifications or missing elements.

    3. Checking the release lever

    and of the frame.

    7. Function test:grabbing the rope

    Use the different rope


    diameters recommended by
    the manufacturer (11.5 to
    13mm).
    Install the ZIGZAG in single
    mode on an anchor at very
    low height (see the chapter
    on Compatibility / Rope
    compatibility test in the
    product instructions).

    When hanging from the


    ZIGZAG in simple mode, there STOP STOP
    ! !
    should be no slippage.

    Verify that the ZIGZAG slides


    upward when the rope below
    the device is pulled.

    8. Function test:release under load

    Install the ZIGZAG in normal


    work configuration (double
