Secure the equipment to the anchor point at least one meter above the platform. Check that the intended descent path is free of
any obstacle that may obstruct the descent. Throw the rope bag to the ground if this is appropriate and done responsibly.
Alternatively, the bag can travel with the first evacuee or be left at the exit
level.
Note! The last evacuee MUST descend with the device (body mounted)
and carry the rope bag, if the bag hasn´t already been dropped to the
ground.
Note! If not necessary, do not stop the descent until you have reached the
ground to minimize the risk of having the rope meet any hot surfaces of
the device.

its user instruction. Remove any slack between the you and the device
by pulling the trailing rope downwards. Hold on to the trailing rope
while transferring the load into the device. Carefully swing free of the
platform and ease the grip around the trailing rope to begin the
descent.
Note: Always keep control/grip around the trailing rope as it might be
impossible to regain control if lost.
