5. OPERATION

Fall Arrest
1. Secure the equipment on a hooking on point that can withstand a load of 1200 kg (12 kN),
cf. EN 795, at least one meter above the lowering point (allocated). Check that the
intended lowering path is free of any obstacles that may obstruct free movement during
lowering.
Throw the line bag down to the final lowering point if this is appropriate and can be
done responsibly. Alternatively, the bag can travel with the first evacuee or be left at the
exit level*.
NB: *The last evacuee MUST descend with the person-fitted equipment (and carrying
the line bag, if this has not been thrown down).
WARNING!
During the execution of point 1, the person must always be wearing fall arrest
equipment connected to a safe anchor point.
2. The line is equipped with hooking karabiners at both ends. The line from the unit to the
user is called the "Rescue Line". The opposite part of the line
Line".
The return line
Fix the rescue line to the harness chest or the back tackle hooking point (see harness
instructions). Now pull down on the return line to fully tighten the line between the unit
and the user. Bend your knees until the harness/line takes all the weight. Carefully
swing free of the structure and ease the grip on the return line to begin lowering.
NOTE: During descend always keep control/grip at the return line for full control during
descend, as it might be impossible to regain control, if lost. Observe, that the body of
the device accumulates heat from the centrifugal brake during descend, and may be
HOT enough to damage the rope if not administered correctly! Always use heavy duty
working gloves.
