• The connection of the descender device to the anchor point should be arranged so that the descent is not impeded.
• Any slack in the line between the user and the anchor point should be avoided.
• Always tie a stopper knot at the end of the line to create a bottom end stop.
• The device can overheat and damage the rope during descent.
• Always descend at a reasonable speed. (<2 m/s).
• Equipment left in place must be protected from the elements.

Lowering/Descent
: Firmly grip the braking side of the rope and gradually pull on the control handle to adjust the
descent speed. To stop the descent let go of the control handle.
Usage on Anchor
In tight clearance or overhead rigging situations, an extra carabiner is recommended to improve ergonomics, redirect the rope
and/or improve alignment of rope into the device. An extra carabiner may also be used to increase friction on the free end of the
rope for heavy load applications.
