free end of the rope. For all rescue manoeuvres the use of
gloves is recommended.
The rescuer and the injured person must be secured with an
additional independently anchored safety line.
WARNING: With speeds above 1 m/s during rescue
operations, the descender may get hot enough to damage the
line.
Figure 6: HAULING AND PROGRESS CAPTURE
SYSTEMS
Hauling from a fixed position with Lory is easiest done either
with a 1:1 counterweight or for heavier loads by means of a 3:1
pulley system (fig. 6). Ergonomically easier pulling from above
may be attained by employing another redirectional pulley on
the free end of the rope. Transition from ascent do descent is
done by removing the pulley system, clipping the rope in a
redirectional carabiner above the Lory and starting to lower
(fig. 4/B).
Figure 7: RIGGING FOR RESCUE
Double rope length should be employed.
Figure 8: WORK ON WIND TURBINES
Use two Lorys as descender devices (EN 12841 C) and a
LoryWP for positioning (EN 358) around the blade.
Figure 9: BELAYING
Only LorySmart with dynamic ropes (EN 892) is meant for
lead climbing (do not use LorySafe). Always hold the free end
of the rope. To stop a fall, grip firmly the free end of the rope. To
lower a climber, follow similar procedures as during descent.
Figure 10:TEMPORARY ANCHORING AROUND A
STRUCTURE
To construct an anchor, pass Lanyard WP installed into Lory
around a structure and clip both connectors into the next
element of the safety chain (fig. 10A). Ensure that the structure
the anchor is constructed on has sufficient strength. Secure
the device with a mule knot and an overhand knot tie-off (fig.
10B). With large angles avoid triaxial loading on plain
