 i

The dead rope must never be loaded (in order to avoid 
side loading on the Rope Guide). 

Do not build tramways 

using the primary rope as shown in the picture.

Stop immediately when a rope twist is observed, untwist 
and organise the rope before continuing. 

CAUTION

When descending, make sure the rope is fed neatly into 
the Rope Grab so that there are no kinks or twists in the 
rope. Take special care when using long ropes to prevent 
twists or kinks. Good rope management is ESSENTIAL.

RECOMMENDATION

When descending, hold the rope entering the Ascender 
to prevent it from running twisted into the Ascender.
