SKYLOTEC LORY Instrucciones De Uso página 16

During an ascent using the rope clamp, pull on the running part of
the rope that comes out of the LORY descender. The rope between
the manual rope clamp and the descender must always be tight
(see Figure 4/C).
5. Descent with a rescue worker
This kind of evacuation may only be carried out by rescue workers
specifically trained for this technique. Impact loading is not permitted.
The rescue worker attaches the descender on his/her harness and
secures the injured person using an additional rope. A redirectional
carabiner for the free end of the rope is not required. For all rescue
manoeuvres the use of gloves is recommended.
The rescue worker and the injured person must be secured with an
additional rope that is independently fastened on the anchor.
WARNING: During a rescue at a speed above 1 m/s, the descender
can heat up so much that the rope may become damaged.
6. Simple pulleys and pulleys with a brake
Lifting from a fixed position using the LORY device is best with a
1:1 counter weight and, for heavier loads, using a pulley system
with a ratio of 3:1 (Figure 6). Ergonomically speaking, lifting will be
easier if you use an additional pulley to redirect the free end of the
rope. For the transition between ascent and descent, remove the
pulley system, attach a redirectional carabiner to the rope above
the LORY and start the descent (Figure 4/B).
7. Rigging for rescue
A double length rope is required.
8. Positioning
Use of the retaining rope for LORY PRO is required. Fasten the
device on the lateral attachment point of the harness, pass the
harness around the structure and, using a connector (EN 362),
fasten its end to a second lateral attachment point of the harness
(Figure 9A). Protect any contact points between the harness and
the underlying structure with the sliding rope protector. Always keep
the line taught and the anchor point above waist level. To shorten
the harness, pull the free end of the rope in the direction of thearrow
(Figure 9B). To lengthen the harness, push the braking cam in the
direction of the arrow with your thumb (Figure 9C).
9. Restraint
Anchor the restraint system perpendicular and away from the point
where the work is being carried out. Any risk of an accident must be
prevented. Therefore, trim the rope to the right length.
