Note: When ascending and descending the ladder the BuckArrester Mobile Fall Arrester (MFA) will freely follow the user up and
down the lifeline. If the BuckArrester should catch on the rope (the BuckArrester may catch on the lifeline prematurely if the user is
climbing too fast or if their body is too far away from the ladder) the user should stop and release the cam of the BuckArrester, (to
release, take the tension off of the lanyard and press the cam towards the body of the BuckArrester) reposition the BuckArrester
below your sternal connection and then continue descending down the ladder.
Always Follow employer’s work practices and
maintain 3 points of contact while ascend and descending the ladder.
