down the plastic bag containing the rest of the descent rope. The rope has to fall away without
forming loops and it must reach to the next lower descent point (see picture 3).
Caution: Make sure appropriate precautions against falling down from a height during the
preparations for the descent are in place!
One karabiner hook is attached to both ends of the descent rope. The descent rope runs through a
rope pulley. If one rope end with karabiner hook is at the upper descent point the other rope end
with karabiner hook must be at the lower descent point.
The first person has to put on the rescue harness that is attached to the descent rope (see pictures
4 and 5).
Please follow the instructions of use for the rescue harness or the fall arrest harness.
Now pull at the long descent rope hanging down until a taut connection between the descender
device and the rescue harness has been established (see picture 6).
Caution: Never let yourself fall when the rope is slack.
During the abseil procedure, the hand wheel must always be in a closed
position and the latching bolt must be in a pulled back locked position.
(see picture 10)
Close the hand wheel as follows: Push the ball downwards and hold it in place. Close the movable
hand wheel segment and collapse the handle.

Turn your face to the wall and start the descent (see pictures 7 and 8). The descent velocity is
automatically controlled. Look out for obstacles! When you reach the ground, take off the rescue
harness but leave it on the rope (see picture 9). If several persons need to descend, at least 2
rescue harnesses are required. Now the second person has to fix the karabiner hook that is
attached to the rope end that is now located at the higher point of descent to the attachment point
of the second rescue harness and secure it. Now put on the rescue harness of the descent rope
(see picture 4 and 5).
Caution: Please follow the instructions of use of the rescue harness or the fall arrest
harness.
Pull at the long descent rope hanging down until a taut connection between the descender device
and the rescue harness has been established (see picture 6). Turn your face to the wall and start
the descent (see pictures 7 and 8). When you reach the ground, take off the rescue harness but
leave it on the rope (see picture 9). The other end of the descent rope with the rescue harness
attached is now again at the upper descent point and the third person can pull the harness towards
himself. This person has to leave it attached to the karabiner hook of the descent rope and put it
on. (see pictures 4 and 5). Now pull at the long descent rope until a taut connection between the
descender device and the rescue harness is established (see picture 6). Turn your face to the wall
and start the descent (see pictures 7 and 8). When you reach the ground, take off the rescue
harness but leave it on the rope (see picture 9). Any other persons can descend in the same way as
person 3 one after another.
4.2 Simultaneous descent of casualty and rescuer
The rescuing person can descend at the same time as the person that is rescued. For this
operation both persons have to attach the karabiner hooks of the upper descent rope end to the
respective attachment points of the rescue harness and secure them.
For this use the rope should not be pulled through the open eye bolt.
Caution: Make sure you are appropriately secured against falling from a height until the
beginning of the descent (on person after another or two persons
simultaneously). Do not descend above liquids or loose bulk goods.
4.3 Lifting function
In order to lift a person from a lower to a higher lying location, the rescue device for descending
and lifting must be securely fastened by the carabiner hook found on the device to an attachment
point that complies with EN 795. By using the descent rope, lower the rescue harness attached to
the descent rope . The victim to be lifted puts on the rescue harness attached to the descent rope.
Open hand wheel as follows: Extend the handle and the movable hand wheel segment until it locks
in position. (see image 11). The latching bolt must be in a pulled back, locked position. By turning
