KRATOS SAFETY LIFT RES-Q FA 70 201 00 Manual Del Usario página 18

3°) Rescue lift (with rescue pole):
Using Lift Res-Q, people can be rescued from a lower to a higher position with a rescue pole.(e.g. FA 70 020 00).
Example: While working on a tubular structure, a worker slips and falls, secured by his fall arrest system. (cf. Fig. 1)
Always use the slowest gear of the battery screwdriver (max. 350 rpm); suggested minimum torque 20 Nm.
OPERATING TESTS:
Before each use check if the rope runs smoothly. Pull both rope ends slowly one after the other. If
you feel slight resistance, the product works. Check the fly wheel brakes. Pull both rope ends quickly one after the other. If you
hear a „click" and the rope resists slightly when you pull it, the brakes are OK. Then check the operation of the device. Warning!
Beforehand, take the necessary precautions in order to eliminate any risk of a fall by being auto-belayed or by auto-belaying the
person to be descended (use of an independent fall-arrest system).
W=energy (J); m = mass = 225 kg; G = acceleration = 9.81ms-2; h = height= 300m; n = descent number = 11
Warning ! During use, you absolutely must make sure to account for this total energy.
1
The rescuer immediately fixes the karabiner of Lift Res-Q on the tubular structure
using an anchorage lanyard. Then he pulls the short rope end until the karabiner on
the rope end reaches the victim.
2
The rescuer attaches the karabiner of the shorter rope end to the rescue pole. Then he
hooks the karabiner in the eyelet of the victim's overall (using the rescue pole). Then
he tightens the rope end.
3
He attaches a battery screwdriver to the Lift Res-Q and carefully lifts the victim up.
He could also manually lift him up using the hand wheel, in which case he would guide
the rope through the rope clamp to ensure a safe rescue. In this case, he can clamp the
rope in the rope clamp and pull the rope after a couple of turns. He can thus secure the
height.
This device was tested for a descending energy greater than 7.5 x 106 J:
