SAFE ASCENT AND DESCENT
• During ascent, the fall arrester runs freely.
• During descent the fall arrester slides.
• Its own weight automatically ahead on the
rope.
• The relatively heavy weight of the unit
ensures that it functions reliably.
When climbing, the upper body can be easily
shifted to the left or right.
F The upper body should be positioned on the
guide rope so that the karabiner is in a steep
position ('5 to 12').
The further the upper body is tilted backwards,
the faster the arresting function triggers in the
event of a fall (the fall arrester responds more
quickly in case of a fall).
CROSSING THE ROPE GUIDE
• When crossing the rope guide, the fall arrester
must slide with its opening slit over the
bridge of the rope guide. To do this, the rope
guide must be approached as precisely as pos-
sible:
-No lateral movements of the body
-Position the upper body close to the direc-
tion of the guide rope
-Move the fall arrester fast and evenly up-
wards or downwards
