CRESTO RESQ RED PRO Mk I Manual De Instrucciones página 14

3. Once the first person/persons are down and disconnected from the line, the next per-
sons may hook onto the return line (which subsequently becomes the rescue line) us-
ing an 8 knot or the line end's karabiner, depending on line length and lowering height.
WARNING! The lowering process described with continuous lowering of several
evacuees one after the other is called "shuttling". As shuttling alternates between the
function/name of the rescue line and the return line, it is essential for the evacuees'
safety that the 8 knot is ALWAYS placed correctly to ensure that everyone descends
all the way down. The procedure is integrated into the basic training.
Remember to comply with the maximum lowering lengths stated in the "Inspection"
section (see section 4)!
When a person steps off the structure he or she must always be facing the structure.
Lowering a person in distress and colleague (rescuer) at the same time
The rescuer may be lowered together with a person in distress. The rescuer and evacuee
MUST be independently hooked to the same karabiner.
WARNING! In case of a double lowering, the following rules must always be observed:
– There must be strict vigilance to prevent the line from touching or comingclose to any
sharp edges (chafing).
– CRESTO recommends lowering in top mounted equipment, provided that other assis-
tance is placed next to the equipment. If this is not the case, lowering MUST be done
with person-fitted equipment!
