3.2 Important notes on the usage of the eye bolts
Eye bolt
Longer rope end, runs through the eye bolt
Using the eye bolts, you can control the descent speed or stop the descent. The longer,
unloaded rope end runs through the eye bolts. If you hold on to the longer rope end, you
can throttle the descent speed or stop the descent. If you don't use the eye bolts, the de-
scent speed will be regulated automatically by two fly wheel brakes (speed ca. 0.8m/sec)
If you are using the descender as a shuttle system, make sure that you use the eye bolts
correctly.
Standard rule: Only run the unloaded, longer rope end through the eye bolts!
Longer and shorter rope end
If you run the shorter rope end through the eye bolt (shorter rope end = loaded rope
end, on which a person is suspended) the descent will be blocked and the person
cannot be lowered to the ground.
• Only run the longer, unloaded rope end through the eye bolts!
short rope end
avoid slack rope
long rope end
CORRECT
Shorter rope end, has to be tightened (no
loose rope)
