User’s Manual T1-16 Tactical Ascender
USAGE
Emergency descent
Whenever the ascender is not running the
mechanical brake is activated. This brake
can be controlled manually to allow an
emergency descent. The function should
be treated as a normal descent device.
1. Switch the power off (even if battery
is almost empty).
2. Place a hand on the dead rope.
3. Descend by gently pressing the handle
to the side.
4. Stop the descent by letting go of the
descend handle.
Do not use the emergency descender over
very long distances.
CAUTION
In most cases the emergency descent is not
needed as the ascender can be restarted to
allow normal descent with the motor.
Adjust the speed according to the circum-
stances, be aware and use common sense.
