FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLES
Figure 1: INSTALLATION OF THE ROPE
To install the descender on the rope, press the opening button and
simultaneously slide the housing sides apart. The working end of
the rope exits the device close to the axle around which the
housing sides rotate (consult the sketch on the housing for help).
Lead the rope around the cam so that the free end of the rope exits
the device between both camming elements. Slide the housing
sides back together. The device is only closed properly once the
opening button locks the top housing side and is fully released.
The Lory used as a descender can either be attached to a harness
concordant with either EN 361+EN 358, EN 813 or EN 12277 (fig.
4/A – the operator slides with the descender along the rope) or it
can be fastened to an anchor (fig. 4/B – the rope slides through the
non-moving descender).
WARNING: If the rope is not inserted correctly the locking
mechanism does not work.
