Operation
To adjust ‘up’ the working length of the lanyard,
when the lanyard is in the position of work and
connected to your harness, take your weight off
the lanyard by using one hand to pull yourself in,
then use your other hand to pull the free end of
the rope. This will adjust ‘up’ the working length
of the lanyard.
To lengthen the lanyard, grasp the device with
your hand closest to it, partially support your
weight with your other hand on the structure
and depress the release lever with your finger.
