4.7) Storage and transportation
• All lithium-ion batteries degenerate over time, even if they are properly stored. Disconnect the Battery when stored for longer periods with 100%
charge
• If storing a Battery for a long time, re-charge the Battery every third month
• Ideally store the Battery at room temperature of 5°C (41°F) to 25°C (77°F). Storing at higher temperatures will result in a loss of performance
and a shortened service life
• Do not store the Batteries at temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) , as this will cause permanent damage to the Battery and possibly result in
fire
• The user assumes total responsibility for all risks associated with lithium-based battery technology
• Batteries stored in temperatures below 5°C (41°F) will show severe loss in performance during use, but will not sustain any permanent damage
because of the storage in low temperatures
• Product warranty is limited to original defects in material and workmanship. The Warranty does not cover collateral damage.
WARNING: Storing an empty Battery or a Battery with low charge level can damage the Battery irreversibly (deep discharging).
NOTE: Batteries are fully regulated as Dangerous Goods (Class 9 UN3480 Lithium Ion Batteries) and must be handled and shipped accordingly. A
efective Battery must not be shipped.
4.8) Battery lifetime and disposal
The Battery lifetime is dependent on a lot of different factors such as: intensity of use, charging cycles, storage temperature etc. For this reason it is very
difficult to give a specific indication on the service life of a Battery, (see also 4.1). The Battery Management System or BMS constantly monitors the
condition of all the cells in the Battery and is designed to shut the Battery down automatically if the cells become too worn out. In this instance the Battery
can no longer be used. Do not incinerate or dispose of the Battery in your normal waste system. Dispose of the Battery at a recycling centre as per the
appropriate regulations.
5.) Connecting the rope
The Ascender must be switched off while loading the rope. Push the Emergency Stop to ensure that the Ascender is switched off.
1. Open the Rope Cover by pulling on the Rope Cover and pushing the Rope Cover Lock to the right.
2. Feed the rope counter-clockwise through the slot in the Rope Guide and around the Rope Grab.
3. Continue feeding the rope in a counter-clockwise direction.
