DESCENT AND LIFTING LOGS
Each descent and lift made with the rescue device should be logged in the tables below. This record is important for ensuring
that the rescue device does not exceed the capacity limits specified in Table 1.
A.
RECORDING DESCENTS: Any descent made with the rescue device must be recorded. To record a descent:
1.
Enter the date of use.
2.
Record the number of users secured to the rescue device.
3.
Record the combined weight of those users.
4.
Record the distance traveled during use.
5.
Check the date that the rescue device was last sent to an Authorized Service Center. Add the descent distance from all
previous descents since the last service date to obtain the Cumulative Descent Distance.
6.
Check the Cumulative Descent Distance against the Maximum Cumulative Descent Distances listed below. If the
Cumulative Descent Distance exceeds the maximum listed for any previous descent since the last service date, then the
product must be removed from service immediately.
