RETRIEVAL DISENGAGEMENT:
The SRD-R should always be disengaged from Retrieval mode after use. To disengage
Retrieval mode:
;
When Retrieval mode is disengaged, the lifeline should fully retract into the SRD housing. To avoid possible injury,
either maintain control of the lifeline or retract the lifeline before disengaging.
1. Remove any load from the lifeline.
2. Pull and hold the shift knob in the unlocked position.
3.
Pull the Crank Arm out to disengage, then release the shift knob.
4.
Pull out and rotate the Crank Handle down toward the SRD body into its stowed position.

USING THE RSQ
TM
DESCENT KNOB:
Some product models are equipped with an RSQ Descent Knob. The RSQ Descent
Knob allows users to switch their product between fall arrest and descent modes.
•
Fall Arrest Mode:
In fall arrest mode, the product arrests the user’s fall and keeps the user suspended.
•
Descent Mode:
In descent mode, the product controls the descent rate of the user to allow them to descend to a
lower level after a fall occurs.
See Figure 11 for reference. To switch the descent knob between the two modes:
1. Pull the descent knob outwards. This will immediately engage descent mode.
;
Never switch to descent mode while a user is secured unless that user is ready to descend.
2.
Rotate the descent knob until the arrow points to the selected mode, Fall Arrest (A) or Descent (B), and the knob
clicks into the place. Releasing the knob will set the product to that mode.
;
The product will remain in descent mode unless the knob is set to fall arrest mode. All positions outside fall
arrest mode are descent mode, including when the knob is pulled outwards and when it is set to a neutral position.
;
80 lbf - 100 lbf (0.36 kN to 0.45 kN) of force is required to release the descent knob from fall arrest mode.
