F.03 ASCENT & DESCENT
To move the Ascender up the rope, pull back
on the Throttle. When released the Throttle will
return to the neutral position and the Ascender
will stop moving.
To move down the rope, push the Throttle
in the opposite direction.
Adjust the speed according to the circumstances,
be aware and use common sense.
Note
Make sure that the unloaded rope runs in a controlled
manner out of the Ascender. Take special care feeding
the loose rope into the Ascender when descending.
The in-built ACX electronic monitoring system will
prevent lifting loads over 250 kg (550 lb).
DO NOT descend on a fully charged Battery as a
stardard procedure.
See section E.06 .
CAUTION
Do not hold on to the loaded rope just above the
Ascender, as there is a risk of injury.
RECOMMENDATION
Stand straight beneath the Anchor Point in order to avoid
a pendulum movement when starting off the ground.
