Note! If not necessary, do not stop the descent until you have reached the ground to
minimize the risk of having the rope come into contact with any hot surfaces of the
device.

1. Attach the rescue rope carabiner to the harness attachment point (marked with
A) or approved body holding device in accordance with its user instruction.
Remove any slack between 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.
Warning! The body of the device will accumulate heat from the brake and may be HOT enough to damage the rope if not adminis-
trated correctly. Always use protective gloves when operating the device and rope.
2. Once the first person-/s have reached the ground and disconnected from the equipment, the next person may hook onto the
trailing rope (which subsequently becomes the rescue rope) using the carabiner at the end (or making a figure of 8 knot, see
figure 4, if the equipment length is not site specific depending on rope length and descent height).
Warning! If a figure of 8 knot is used instead of the end carabiner always ensure that it is place on the correct end, if wrongfully
placed the descent may be blocked by the knot. Always pull through an extra meter or two on the former rescue rope to ensure
room for the knot to ensure that next evacuee reaches the ground.The lowering process described with continuous lowering of
several evacuees one after the other is called "shuttling". When evacuating a lot of persons ensure that this complies with the
maximum descent and load according to the specification under technical data.

See figure 5.
1. Attach the rescue rope carabiner to the anchor point. Attach the device carabiner to the harness attachment point (marked with
A) or approved body holding device in accordance with its user instruction. Remove any slack between you and the device by
pulling the trailing rope upwards. Hold on to the trailing rope, see figure 6, 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! If possible try to position the device so that the handwheel faces away from the user-/s to minimize risk of injuries.
2. To decrease or manually control the descent speed e.g. in narrow spaces, add friction by passing the rope thru the friction loop
on the device. For Body mounted device, see chapter 11. Expert use.
