Retrieving the User After a Fall
Once a fall has been arrested, the user will remain suspended until rescued to a
safe platform or the ground. It is important that the rescue procedure is carried
out quickly after a fall.
In order to release the fall arrest brake mechanism, the suspended person must
be raised, allowing the rope to retract a little way into the G.Saver II. The rope
can then extract from the unit, allowing the user to be rescued to a safe place.
The retrieval destination and the manner of retrieval must be determined during
a pre-use assessment. The user must not be left suspended for extended periods
of time.
The G.Saver II’s retrieval mechanism may be engaged to retrieve the user.
Instructions to Engage the Retrieval Mechanism are also situated on the rear
label.
1. Pull out/up and hold locking
trigger ring. Push crank arm into
body to engage mechanism.
Align gears if necessary by slight
rotation of Crank Arm.
