Prior to installation and use of this equipment, record the product identification information from the ID label in the
Inspection and Maintenance Log (Table 2) at the back of this manual.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Figure 1 illustrates the 3M™ Self-Rescue™ Descent System.
Figure 2 identifies key components of the Self-Rescue Descent System (Self-Rescue System). The Self-Rescue System is a
harness mounted Backpack (A) containing a spooled Lifeline (B) feeding through a sealed Descent Device (C). The Lifeline
is terminated with an Easy-Link™ D-Ring (D) coupled to the exit port on the Descent Device. In an emergency, the user can
release the Easy-Link™ D-ring and initiate descent by pulling a Release Cord (E) mounted on the harness shoulder strap. If the
user is incapacitated, a rescuer can pull the Assisted-Rescue Ring (F) on the side of the Backpack with the accessory Rescue Pole
Kit (G) to release the D-Ring and initiate descent. A Mounting Pin (H) on the Descent Device Housing and two adjustable Clip
Straps (I) on the bottom of Backpack secure the Self-Rescue System to the Full Body Harness. A D-Ring Cover (J) on the top of
the Backpack snaps over the Harness Dorsal D-Ring to eliminate inadvertent use of the D-Ring. A Front Flap (K) and Back Zipper
(L) on the Backpack facilitate inspection of the Product Labels and internal components. See Figure 1 for available Self-Rescue
models and accessories:
