The RC Lowering Devices should only ever be used with the correct diameter of rope, You must never exceed
the recommended maximum diameters. Each device has a Working Load Limit (WLL) – This is the maximum
load allowed to be applied to the device either for lifting or lowering. These values are based on a static vertical
load being applied and used as specified in these instructions. However, a dynamic load can multiply the forces
incurred on a rigging system; a dynamic load weighing considerably less than the WLL of the device can still
exceed the limit due to the multiplied forces caused by its motion. Therefore, all potential dynamic loads should
be carefully calculated and minimised where possible.

�
You must ascertain that the device chosen is appropriate to the work being undertaken.
�
Working Load Limits will vary depending on the type of mounting used (see page 7)
�
The Working Load Limit is based on using the supplied mounting Ratchet Handle & Strap and backed up
with a sufficiently rated Anchor Sling.
�
If you are using both the Top Attachment Point and the Device at the same time the Working Load Limits on
both areas should be taken into account. Example: the devices WLL is 2000kg the top attachment point is
250kg so the devices WLL will be reduced down to 1750kg.
