11.2 INSTALLATION AND USE (Remote Assisted Rescue)
Step 1:
Install the FS810-3 Reinforced Cross Arm Strap as described in Section 11.0.
Step 2:
Connect the rescue device to the small D-ring of the FS810-3.
Step 3:
Pull lifeline through the rescue device to a length that will allow connection to the fallen worker.
Step 4:
To deploy the rescue pole, attach the small web loop of the included web connector to the red rescue carabiner (provided) or any ANSI Z359.12-2009
compliant carabiner, and install onto the end of the rescue pole (Figure 8, Dwg 1, 2 and 3).
Step 5:
Attach rope lifeline to the web connector using the supplied ANSI Z359.12-2019 compliant carabiner (Figure 9).
Step 6:
The rescue pole has a pre-installed tool attachment for connection of our SW436 15 lb. Elasticated Tool Tether (included). Connect the opposite
end of the Elasticated Tool Tether to an object, structure or stationary piece of equipment, ensuring the rescue pole is secured in the event
of an accidental drop (Figure 10).
Step 7:
The rescue pole is adjustable in length and can be extended to a maximum of 18'. To make connection to the worker via the rescue pole, remove the
rescue pole from the carry bag. Adjust the length of the pole by using the twist locks (Figure 11). Turn the twist locks counterclockwise to loosen
and clockwise to tighten. With a twist lock loosened, the rescue pole may be extended (or shortened) to the required length. Re-tighten twist
locks when necessary pole length is achieved. In its stowed configuration, the rescue pole measures 4' in length.
Step 8:
Carefully position the rescue pole in an orientation that allows the rescue carabiner to be attached to the fallen worker's Front, Sternal, or Dorsal D-ring
(Figure 14). To complete the connection process, simply pull the rescue pole away with the rescue carabiner still hooked through the worker's
D-ring. As the rescue carabiner disengages from the rescue pole, the carabiner's gate closes automatically. The rescuer has now made
connection to the fallen worker. NOTE: If the victim's rescue D-ring(s) are laid flat against their FBH or not easily reached, the rescue pole hook
may be utilized to position the D-ring for rescue connection (Figure 13).
Step 9:
With the rescue carabiner hooked through the fallen worker's Front, Sternal, or Dorsal D-ring, the rescuer will remove any slack in the rope lifeline
between the device and fallen worker. Using the rescue wheel on the device, the rescuer must raise the worker slightly to disengage their fall arrest
subsystem. With tension released from the worker's fall arrest subsystem, the rescuer can disconnect the worker from their fall arrest device and lower
them to the next lower safe level. The rescuer controls the worker's descent rate by applying tension to the free end of the rope lifeline. The rescue
device will automatically limit the descent rate to Avg. 2.6 f/s (.8 m/s), Max 6.6 f/s (2 m/s). This ensures the fallen worker can descend safely even with
no input from the rescuer.
NOTE: If the fallen worker can assist in making connection to their FBH the rescue pole may not be required. The rescuer can lower the Rope
carabiner to the fallen worker, with the fallen worker making the connection to their FBH, or they can lower the 022-6069 Rescue Assist Sling
(sold separately) to the fallen worker to facilitate rescue.
