3. Inspection
Before use: visual check and functional test of the device Visual check for attrition, corrosion and
damages. Check the readability of the labels.
The functional test is performed as follows: Pull each the left and the right descent rope once. The
rope should be relatively hard to pull but it should move regularly.
The switch levers of the holding and the lifting ratchets have to be swiched on "red" for one
direction and then on "yellow" for the other direction.
The inspection prior to use may be omitted for certain equipment parts intended for emergency use
if they were packaged and sealed by a competent person. If any doubts concerning the safety of
the system or parts thereof exist, the system or its parts have to be immediately withdrawn from
service.
It is not permitted to use damaged devices, full body harnesses or ropes.
Devices that were subjected to a fall from a height must also be withdrawn from service and sent
back to the manufacturer for maintenance and re-inspection.
The safety of the user depends on the effectiveness and durability of the equipment. Therefore,
periodical inspections are absolutely necessary. Periodic inspections may only be performed by the
manufacturer or a person who was authorized by the manufacturer and closely follows the
manufacturer's instructions regarding periodic inspections. The product marking must be readable
at all times.
Have the equipment inspected by the manufacturer or a person authorized by the

4.1 Lowering the casualty
The Liftevac rescue device for descending and lifting may only be used by persons who were
instructed in the safe use of the equipment and who have the necessary knowledge.
Caution:
Make sure that the ropes are not running over sharp edges when descending.
Protect ropes from sharp-edged objects, welding sparks, chemicals, extreme
temperatures or other hazards that might destroy or damage them.
The device can be used for descending in a shuttle mode in both directions.
Pull descender device with descent rope out of the plastic bag until the karabiner hook that is
attached to the descender device can be fixed to an anchor point according to EN 795 (see picture
1). The anchor point has to be above the user and ensure a minimum load carrying capacity of 10
kN according to EN 795. Make sure that the descent is not hindered by any obstacles. Attach the
karabiner of the upper end of the descent rope to the anchor point of the rescue harness EN 1497
or fall arrest harness EN 361 and secure it (see picture 2).
The pictures show the use in connection with the Mittelmann rescue harness SG16. While using
another rescue harness pay attention to the particular manual of this equipment.
If you use another rescue harness or fall arrest harness, please follow the instructions for use of
this harness. Throw down the plastic bag containing the rest of the descent rope. The rope has to
hang down without forming loops and it must reach to the next lower descent point (see picture 3).
Caution: Make sure appropriate precautions against falling down from a height during the
preparations for the descent are in place!
One karabiner hook is attached to both ends of the descent rope. The descent rope runs through a
rope pulley. If one rope end with karabiner hook is at the upper descent point the other rope end
with karabiner hook must be at the lower descent point.
