rEsq dd™ can work as both a lanyard arrestor and as a manual winch. By unfolding /
extending the winder in accordance with the instructions in Chapter 7, rEsq dd™ is po-
sitioned for rescuing by manual lifting and descent. When the winder is retracted rEsq
dd™ functions as an automatic lanyard arrestor for descent during evacuation. Only the
winder's position determines which position rEsq dd™ is in.
