5.0 Operation
5.1 Retrieval Operation
FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY
The MightEvac retrieval mechanism is to
be used only in the event of an emergency.
Do not use for routine hoisting of personnel
or materials.
NOTE: It is recommended to pull out
several feet of lifeline and hold in position
before engaging retrieval mechanism.
Always maintain tension on the lifeline
while in retrieval mode.
Pull out on the plunger pin until the ratchet
handle pops outward. It may be necessary
to rotate the handle slightly to fully engage
the internal gears. The plunger pin should
snap back into its original position when
the gears are fully engaged. The unit is
now in retrieval mode.
NOTE: A rescue may be executed either by
raising or lowering a person to safety.
TO RAISE: While maintaining light tension
on the lifeline, rotate the ratchet handle
counter-clockwise (CCW) to crank the
lifeline into the housing.
TO LOWER: To extend lifeline from the
housing (to lower), rotate ratchet handle in
clockwise (CW) direction.
NOTE: If the internal braking mechanism
has been activated, such as with a fall
arrest, it is necessary to first crank in the
counter clockwise (CCW) for one-half to
one rotation, then reverse the direction
(CW) to begin lowering. A minimum of 75
lb (34kg) is required for lowering.
