To raise:
Grip the free end rope below the rope control handle with one hand and apply
enough tension to hold the suspended worker. With the other hand, depress the rope release
lever and slide the rope control handle toward the backup braking system (premium kit) or up-
per pulley (standard kit). Release the rope lever, and using the rope control handle, pull down-
ward to raise the suspended worker. Then readjust the position of the hand on the free end
rope to just below the rope control handle, eliminating any rope slack, and repeat procedure as
necessary until the person has been raised to safety.
To lower:
In order to lower the suspended worker to safety, the person must first be raised
slightly in order to disconnect his/her personal fall arrest system. Follow the procedure above
to raise the worker. Before disconnecting the worker's connecting device, secure the rope
control handle against the backup braking system (premium kit) or upper pulley (standard kit)
to eliminate any potential for accidental descent (see Fig. 14). Then disconnect the suspended
worker's connecting device from the anchorage/anchorage connector or harness back D-ring,
whichever is more easily accessible. If it is disconnected from the anchorage/anchorage
connector, it must then be attached to one of the rope lines between the red and black pulleys
(see Fig. 14) to retain the connecting device so that it will not inadvertently drop and strike the
suspended person (Note: In this procedure, the snap hook will fall to the lower pulley, but will
not hit the worker or interfere with the operation of the system.)
To lower the worker to safety, grip the free end rope with one hand and apply enough tension
to hold the suspended worker. With the other hand, depress the rope release lever. Then
allow the rope to slide through your hand and the rope control handle in a controlled manner
until the worker reaches the lower level safely.
NOTE: Should it be necessary at any time during the rescue procedure to temporarily
suspend the person or hold the person stationary to free the rescuer's hands, simply
secure the rope control handle against the braking system (premium kit-see Fig. 14) or
upper pulley (standard kit). In this way, the rope control handle will prevent the sus-
pended worker from descending.

NOTE: The premium kit is shown in the above photos; however, users of the standard kit
can still reference these photos and follow the same procedures. Refer to the written text
in step 10 for operational differences with regard to the premium and standard kits.
