Now switch the lever of the support pawl toward the
long end of the descent rope. Get off the station
with the face toward the wall and descend. The
descend speed is controlled automatically. Watch
out for obstacles! When descending several per-
sons, at least two rescue harnesses must be used.
Connect the karabiner on the end of the descent
rope that is now in the top position to the fastening
point on the second rescue harness and secure it.
Now have the second person put on the rescue
harness attached to the descent rope. Attention:
Observe the instructions for use of the rescue or fall
arrest harness. Pull the long suspended end of the
descent rope until the connection between the
descender device and the rescue harness is tensi-
oned. Now switch the lever of the support pawl
toward the long end of the descent rope. Get off the
station with the face toward the wall and descend.
Once the person has arrived at the bottom station,
put off the rescue harness, but leave it connected
to the rope. Now pull the long suspended end of the
descent rope until the connection between the
descender device and the rescue harness is tensi-
oned. Now switch the lever of the support pawl
toward the long end of the descent rope. Get off the
station with the face toward the wall and descend.
All further persons may descend one after the other
the same way that it has been done with person 3.
4.2 SIMULTANEOUS DESCENT OF THE PERSON
TO BE RESCUED AND THE RESCUING PERSON
The rescuing person may descend together with the
person rescued. To do so both karabiners attached
to the top end of the descent rope must be latched
to the fastening point on the respective rescue
harness and must be secured. For this application
the rope must not be fed through the open hook.
Attention: Until descent begins (be it one by one
or two together), ensure sufficient fall protection.
Do not descent to pools liquid or piles of loose
bulk solids.
4.3 LIFTING FUNCTION
To lift a person from a lower station to a higher
station, the descender and rescue device must be
safely fastened to an attachment point to EN 795
using the karabiner on the device. Remove the lif-
ting ratchet. Lower the rescue harness attached to
the short end of the descent rope to the lower sta-
tion. To do so, pull the rope through the device. The
switch-over lever of the support pawl must point
toward the long end of the rope that is taken in.
Lifting may be controlled with the hand wheel or the
lifting ratchet. To start lifting, push the switch-over
lever of the support pawl toward the load-bearing
end of the rope. Turn the hand wheel to start pulling
the person up. If you wish to use the lifting ratchet
to control lifting, attach it to its adapter. The switch-
over lever of the lifting ratchet must point toward
the loose end of the rope. Start lifting.
To simplify selecting the right positions of the
switch-over levers on the support and lifting rat-
chets these are marked in green and blue.
Additionally, the rope is marked with a green and
blue plastic disc each. Depending on the lifting or
descent direction always push all switches to either
green or blue. If the rope is not immediately arres-
ted by the pulley during lifting, grab the relieved
rope end and sharply pull on it.
