IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE USE OF EYEBOLTS
1.- Eyebolts
2.- Shorter end of rope, has to be tightened (no slack rope)
3.- Longest end of the rope, pass through the eyebolt
With the eyebolts you can control the descent speed or stop
the descent. The longer, unloaded end of the rope passes
through the eyebolt. By holding the longer end of the rope,
the descent speed can be reduced or the descent can be
stopped. If the eyebolts are not used, the descent speed
is automatically regulated by two flywheel brakes (speed
approx. 0.8 m/sec).
If you use the descender as a descent system, be sure to use
the eyebolts correctly.
Standard rule: Pass only the longer, unloaded end of the rope
through the eyebolts.
If the shorter end of the rope passes through the eyebolts
(shorter end of the rope = loaded end of the rope, on which
a person is suspended), the descent will be blocked and the
person will not be able to descend to the ground.
Pass only the longer, unloaded end of the rope through the
eyebolts.
CORRECT

Short end of the rope, under tension.
