of the device against unintentional descents is not required.
For short ascents install a rope clamp on the working end of the
rope above the descender device. During an ascent using the rope
clamp, pull on the free end of the rope that comes out of the LORY
descender.
The rope between the manual rope clamp and the descender must
always be tight (see Figure 4/C).
5. Descent with a rescue worker
This kind of evacuation may only be carried out by rescue workers
specifically trained for this technique. Impact loading is not
permitted. The rescue worker attaches the descender on his/her
harness and secures the injured person using an additional rope.
A redirectional carabiner for the free end of the rope is not required.
For all rescue manoeuvres the use of gloves is recommended. The
rescue worker and the injured person must be secured with an
additional rope that is independently fastened on the anchor.
WARNING: During a rescue at a speed above 1 m/s, the descender
can heat up so much that the rope may become damaged.
6. Simple pulleys and pulleys with a brake
Lifting from a fixed position using the LORY device is best with
a 1:1 counter weight and, for heavier loads, using a pulley system
with a ratio of 3:1 (Figure 6). Ergonomically speaking, lifting will be
easier if you use an additional pulley to redirect the free end of the
rope. For the transition between ascent and descent, remove the
pulley system, attach a redirectional carabiner to the rope above
the LORY and start the descent (Figure 4/B).
7. Rigging for rescue
A double length rope is required.
8. Working on wind turbines
Use the LORY as a descender (EN 12841 C) and a work positioning
lanyard (EN 358) for positioning on the turbine blade.
9. Belay
For lead climbing, only LORY with dynamic ropes (EN 892) is
suitable. Do not use LORY PRO. Always hold the free rope end
in your hand. You will prevent a fall by holding the free rope end
in your hand. When lowering a climber, follow a similar procedure
as when abseiling.
10. Temporary anchoring around a structure
To construct an anchor, pass Rope for LORY PRO installed in the
LORY around the structure and attach both connectors to the next
element of the safety chain (Figure 10A). Ensure that the structure
on which the anchor is secured has sufficient strength. Secure the
device with a mule knot and an overhand knot tie off (Figure 10B).
With large angles, avoid tri-axial loading on plain connectors
