5 . 5 . R E S C U E
In situations where a person is unconscious or otherwise unable to descend by themselves, he/she can be rescued by another
person using the Smartline X.
Follow the instructions for rescue:
1. Approach the person to be rescued. Use appropriate fall protection equipment to protect yourself from falling.
2. Position yourself in a safe and appropriate position next to the casualty.
Open the bag and access the Smartline X.
3.
4. Detach the karabiner from the anchor sling. Place the anchor sling around a structure and into its karabiner as shown in fig. 1A
or fig. 1B. The anchor must be able to support a load of 12 kN (EN795). Attach the Smartline X as shown in fig.4.
5. Connect the karabiner at the end of the line to an attachment point on the harness of the person to be rescued. On full body
harnesses, an upper attachment point should be used. Ensure that both karabiners are locked.
6. Take up any slack in the line by pulling the free end of the line as shown in fig. 5.
7. Transfer the load into the Smartline X. This is done in two different ways depending on the type of fall protection equipment
used. It is important that users are trained and supervised in these method.

After the line between the anchor and the person to be rescued is tightened as much as possible fig. 5, adjust the loaded fall
protection equipment so that the person is lowered until his weight is fully onto the Smartline X. Then the other fall
protection equipment can be removed and the descent started.

In such situations the Smartline X has to be used as a pulley system to transfer the load from the fall protection equipment
to the Smartline X. This is done by making a loop of the line below the descender and threading it through the carabiner
or schackle attached to the harness. By pulling the line as showed in zz 6 the person can be lifted and the load transferred
from the fall protection equipment onto the Smartline X. The person only needs to be lifted a small distance before the fall
protection equipment can be removed.
