The person must read or have explained to him/her the instructions. Disregard of the
instructions can lead to very serious risks and injury and even to death.
IV. RESCUE
Safety procedures must be set up well in advance of use so that any problem arising
later can be dealt with quickly and effectively. Another person must also be present
to get help in an emergency.
If the help is slow in coming the RODEOSTOP B100 enables the user to lower
himself down alone gently with a "8" descender ("8" shaped buckle) controlling his
own movements such as stopping and starting.
Alternatively, someone on the ground can evacuate the user in difficulty in the same
way and in complete safety.
V. MODIFICATION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Under no circumstances should the RODEOSTOP B100 be modified or opened up.
Repairs can only be effected by people authorized by the manufacturer.
All repairs must be done by the manufacturer on the basis of an estimate or an all-
inclusive price for the parts or in a workshop authorized by the manufacturer.
Any departure from these restrictions will invalidate the manufacturer's guarantee.
VI. CHECKING THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE USE
Before use check that the anchorage point is completely vertical above the work
place and that it can accept a charge of 1500 DaN.
Check that everything on the RODEOSTOP B100 is in a perfect state and that all
screws are tightly fixed.
VII. INSTALLING THE ROPE
Rope installation in the RODEOSTOP B100 is easy.
At the bottom of the device introduce the rope (3) in the U of the groove (13) inside
the brace (11). Pull the rope (3) through by pushing it into the center of the pulley and
bringing the rope out again (3) on the other side in the U slot inside the brace (11).
