Braking Trolley (Optional)
The Braking Trolley is an accessory to the FreeStep SAS. It contains two sets of rollers
and a braking mechanism that provides compression for increased friction against a
FreeStep overhead rail track. The larger eyelet (between the rollers) is where the patient
height adjuster or single line drop hardware is attached. Refer to the Braking Trolley
Installation/Operation Manual for detailed information on installation and usage.

NOTE:
The eyelet with the yellow tag is not to bear weight in any circumstance. The yellow-
tagged eyelet is for adjusting rail friction only.
Ropeman
A spring loaded cam cleat provides a closed loop system that can be used for higher level
balance activities.
If using the single point attachment with the carabiner, position the ropeman so it is parallel to
the V loop on the posterior aspect of the Support Harness DLX. Attach the carabiner to the V
loop and pull to tighten. This will create the closed loop.
