Descent
Vertical descent
Check that the rope is correctly anchored.
Always keep your body weight on the rope.
WARNING DANGER, when transitioning from
horizontal to vertical (clearing obstacles), the
descender can be jammed on an edge (see
drawing). The descent can be interrupted. You
must have acquired good reflexes during your
training.
Gradually pull on the handle with the left hand.
Always hold the braking side of the rope with
your right hand. The handle can assist in
braking, but the rate of descent is controlled by
varying the grip of the brake hand on the braking
side of the rope.
You must always control your descent
speed: 2 m/s maximum.
WARNING, if you release the handle, continue to
keep a firm grip on the braking side of the rope.
WARNING
- Any jamming of the rope in the descender
(knots, rope jammed behind the cam, tangled
rope), will stop your evacuation.
- In a descent that is too fast, a sudden stop on
a knot or the sewn termination can break the
system or cause a serious injury.
Detaching from the system
When your descent is finished, verify that you
have reached safety and detach the connector
from your harness.
