Multiple Users:
In the event there are multiple individuals requiring use of the Rescue/Descent System, the system can be used alternately by each individual until rescue/descent
operations are complete. See Section 2.0 of this manual for technical data regarding number of uses, weight capacities, and length of descents.

11.1 INSTALLATION AND USE (Controlled Descent)
Controlled descent is necessary as part of all rescue and evacuation operations. These instructions only pertain to proper equipment operation for a controlled
descent. Detailed rescue procedures should be covered separately in the worksite rescue plan and/or worksite rescue plan training.
Step 1:
Install the FS810-3 Reinforced Cross Arm Strap as described in Section 11.0.
Step 2:
Connect the device to the FS810-3 Reinforced Cross Arm Strap. Make connection to the Small D-ring ONLY. NEVER connect the device to the large
D-ring of the FS810-3. Connect the Rope carabiner to the Front D-ring of the FBH. Descent is controlled by applying tension to the free end of the rope
lifeline using at least one belay. Heavier users should consider using both rope belays.
Step 3:
The rescuer also has the option of connecting the device directly to the Front D-ring of their FBH and descending with the device. Descent is
controlled by maintaining tension on the free end of the rope lifeline and/or by routing the rope through the belays on the rescue device
(Figure 7, Dwg. 2) . The more tension applied, the slower the rate of descent. (Figure 7, Dwg. 2).
Step 4:
Allow free end of rope lifeline to unspool and fall to the ground or next lower safe level. Free end of the rope lifeline must be in contact with the ground,
or next lower safe level, to which the user is descending. If rope length is inadequate to reach the ground or next lower safe level, the system cannot
be used.
Step 5:
Once verified that the system is of sufficient length to safely conduct a Controlled Descent, the user can begin their descent.
Step 6:
To perform a controlled descent, the user steps off of the walking/working surface while maintaining tension on the free end of the rope lifeline. Unlike
Single User Unassisted Evacuation, the user controls their descent rate by maintaining tension on the free end of the rope lifeline (Figure 7, Dwg 1)
or by using a combination of the rope lifeline and integrated belays on the rescue device (Figure 7, Dwg. 2) .
Step 7:
Upon reaching a safe location, the user disconnects from the Rescue/Descender and continues worksite rescue procedures.
