SUBJECT:
Following feedback from a park builder and parks operator, it has been reported that pulley exit
forcing at the bifurcation may occur under specific conditions.
Taking our clients' feedback seriously and proactively, we are sharing here the inspection and
correction measures.This complements KANOPEO technical manuals available on JDOC.com:

SAFEROLLER BIFURCATIONS
- SR2 – BIFURCATION RIGHT – SAFE0300413
- SR2 – BIFURCATION LEFT – SAFE0300414
PULLEYS
All pulleys used in conjunction with bifurcations.PROCEDURE
What:
- Identify potential wear on SAFEROLLER bifurcations.
- Check for the presence of pads on pulleys of version type #3.2.
- Assess the risk of pulley exit, regardless of version.
What are we looking for?
Avoiding the risk of unintended SAFEROLLER pulley exit during manipulation at the bifurcation.How:
Inspect the pulley groove width.
If the groove width exceeds 8.20 mm,
then pads must be installed.
Important:
If you still wish to perform an extraction test, do not forget to be securely attached to the lifeline by a means other than the pulley you are testing!Installing the closing stops does not necessarily reduce the groove width below 8.20 mm, but unless the bifurcation is significantly worn, it should prevent pulley exit.
Regularly check for the presence of the pads.
Install the pads approx. 2 mm below the edge of
the closure. Clean with acetone before installation.
