The Slyde Stairwell Belay System includes a rope, stairwell belay device, anchor point runner/sling, an anchor carabiner and Slyde carabiner.
WARNING
Only trained operators, trained in stairwell belay use, should use the Stairwell Belay System. Do not use the Stairwell Belay
System for hoisting. To reduce the risk of injury, keep clothing, hair, fingers, & other body parts clear of the Belay System.
The Stairwell Belay System safely supports a maximum of 800 lb when installed and used as directed
for controlled descent of a person or equipment on the Slyde Evacuation Sled down inclined ramps or stairs.
TO USE THE STAIRWELL BELAY SYSTEM:
Figure 1
Figure 2a
1. Inspect equipment prior to use. See front page for the Stairwell Belay System configuration. Stairwell belay equipment comes pre-assembled (see Figure 1).
2. Determine a firm anchor point in the stairwell. As examples use accessible fixed handrail, vertical support beam or the anchor in the optional Stairwell Belay Box (DQE
Model IC5031).
WARNING
3. For a firm anchor point, such as a fixed handrail or support beam, wrap the free end of the colored anchor point runner around the anchor point and attach it back
into the anchor carabiner and lock (see Figure 2a). When using the optional Stairwell Belay Box the anchor carabiner will be attached to the P38 anchor bolt in the box
(see Figure 2b). Alternatively, you can run the free end of the anchor point runner through the P38 anchor bolt (see Figure 2c). Unlock and re-lock the anchor carabiner
through the free end of the anchor point runner.
WARNING
4. Attach the rope to both handles at the head end of Evacuation Slyde/Bariatric Evacuation Slyde by using the Slyde carabiner (see Figure 2d).
Note: If extra slack is present in the handle straps, take the left side handle strap at the head end of the sled and feed it down and through the front loop and back
up to the top of the sled to attach it to the Slyde carabiner as shown in (see Figures 3a - 3d). Repeat the same process for the right side handle strap.
Figure 3b
5. Now that the stairwell belay is attached to its anchor point and the Slyde carabiner is attached to the Evacuation Slyde/Bariatric Evacuation Slyde head end handles,
the system is ready for use to control the descent of the patient down the stairs.
Note: Communication between all operators, specifically between the stairwell belay operator and the foot end operator, is critical. Operators must communicate
all actions to one another.
6. The stairwell belay operator wraps the rope around their back and takes out the slack in the rope (see Figure 4).
7. The foot end operator pulls Evacuation/Bariatric Evacuation Slyde three-quarters of the way off the first stair (see Figure 5).
8. The stairwell belay operator removes the slack in the rope, between them and the Slyde, to hold the weight of the patient (see Figure 6).
9. The stairwell belay operator slowly releases the rope through the stairwell belay device to control the speed of descent until the Evacuation Slyde/Bariatric Evacuation
Slyde reaches the lower landing.
10. The stairwell belay operator removes the Stairwell Belay System and moves to the lower landing to help make the corner turn. Repeat steps 2-10 on the next set of
stairs.

OPERATION MANUAL
Figure 2b
Never use a person as an anchor point. Ensure that the anchor point is secure before using.
Inadequate clearance may result in the inability to control the speed of the descent.
To avoid the risk of patient or operator injury, make sure that both carabiners
are locked by twisting the thumb lock mechanism before use.
Figure 3c
Figure 3d
To avoid the risk of patient and/or operator injury, keep a firm grip
on the stairwell belay rope at all times to maintain control over the descent.
