Positioning - Skylotec MILAN series Gebrauchsanleitung

(N) Abseil rope
protrudes from
exit point
Use your right hand to keep the rope end taut and release the LEFT ratchet again.
Rope friction and traction force now support the load.
Lastly, deactivate the LEFT ratchet by extending the switch lever and directing the ratchet down-
wards. Alternatively, the ratchet can be directed upwards and to the other side of the housing
via the emergency release mechanism. Push the ratchet switch lever outwards to deactivate
the ratchet.
Rope deflection (Figures N-Q) can be used to control the ascent speed safely by hand.
Always fit the rope into the guide when using the device to ascend and then continue travelling.
NOTE:
In the case of free travel always ensure that the rope is undamaged
and cannot be pulled into the rope clamp. A sudden stop can damage
the rope.

4.5.3 Positioning:

Travel can be stopped at any time by increasing the traction power on the rope. In the case of
brief pauses, the rope can be inserted in the rope clamp (after complete stop) and the device will
maintain its position.
The rope should only be clamped for a SHORT period and should not be
used in this position for long breaks or continuous work.
The rope may be inadvertently pulled out of the clamp, causing absei-
ling to continue abruptly. This unexpected change in position does not
present any danger of falling, but may alarm the operator and cause an
undesired reaction (dropping tools, incorrect operation of the device),
as well as injuries.
(O) Run rope
downwards and around
the cleat
(P) Run rope
upwards and insert
in rope slot
(Q) Run rope down-
wards and control
abseiling operation
manually. If necessary,
secure the rope in the
rope clamp.
