General Recommendations; Technical Specifications - KRATOS SAFETY LIFT RES-Q FA 70 201 00 Manual Del Usario

Maximum descent distance recommended by the manufacturer:
• max. descent distance with 1 person up to a max. of 75 kg: 10000m
• max. descent distance with 1 person up to a max. of 100 kg: 7500 m
• max. descent distance with 1 or 2 persons up to a max. of 150 kg: 5000 m
• max. descent distance with 1 or 2 persons up to a max. of 225 kg: 3000 m

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

Warning! Do not lose control of the descent because it may be difficult to regain it.
Warning! Check during use that the connector is properly positioned and locked in the descender. Pulling efforts on the connector
should be made in the direction of the major axis only.
Warning! Make sure that the rope end is always properly knotted in order to prevent the rope from unintentionally going out of
the descender at the end of the rope – this will prevent serious injuries and even death. The rope should always be properly stored,
e.g. in a bag, without any knots or twisting, so as not to impede descending.
It is prohibited to use the device with sharp edges, structures with small diameters and corrosion as this can affect the performance
of the system, unless these are adequately protected.
Ensure a safety distance from electrical lines or an area presenting an electrical hazard.
Ensure that the general set-up limits swinging in the event of a fall, and that the work is performed to limit the risk and the height
of a fall.
Use the product between: - 40°C / +65°C.
Before and during use, we recommend that you make the necessary arrangements for a safe rescue, should this be required. Pro-
longed hanging in a harness following a fall or a long descent can result in various after-effects (such as suspension trauma), which
is why it is essential that the rescue operation is carried out as safely and quickly as possible.
This product offers you a range of applications for various situations. Using this product requires solid training by professionals who
have been trained on this product. The device must only be used by trained, competent and healthy persons. Warning! Certain
medical conditions can affect user safety, if in doubt please contact your doctor.
It is forbidden to fasten the product through intermediary of any other device than those specified by KRATOS SAFETY.
Before and after each use, check the condition of the device: visual inspection in order to make sure of the descender's condition:
it must be clean, no deformations, no cracks, no wear, no oxidation, no abrasive or sharp parts that might damage the rope;
the bolts should be properly tightened. Check for the absence of foreign bodies (sand, etc.) in the mechanism and the absence
of lubricant in the rope passage. Inspect the rope along its entire length to verify the integrity of the sheath and the core,
and the regularity of the diameter (9.6 mm). Check if the rope runs smoothly. Pull both rope ends slowly one after the other. If
you feel slight resistance, the product works. Check the fly wheel brakes. Pull both rope ends quickly one after the other. If you
hear a „click" and the rope resists sligthly when you pull it, the brakes are OK. Check the condition of the connectors used and the
functioning of their closure and locking system. Product markings should be readable. If any defects are found or suspected, the
device should not be reused. When the product must not be reused, it must be marked "OUT OF SERVICE" (see the "INSPECTION"
section). All belaying supports used must be checked before and after each use.
Using this product without having performed a visual and functional inspection can lead to accidents
resulting in severe injuries or death. The visual and functional inspection must be carried out by a
competent person. KRATOS SAFETY offers trainings for that purpose.
Perform the operating tests before each use.
Do not remove, add or replace any component of the device.
Chemical products: do not use the device in the event of contact with chemical products, solvents or fuels that could affect its
operation.
