5. DESCENT DEVICE & WINCH
RESQ DD™ can work as both a descent device and as a manual winch, (DDE models are
only for descending). By unfolding / extending the winder in accordance with the instruc-
tions in Chapter 7, RESQ DD™ is positioned for rescuing by manual lifting and descent.
When the winder is retracted RESQ DD™ functions as an automatic descent device dur-
ing evacuation. Only the winder's position determines which position RESQ DD™ is in.

RESQ DD™ Ought to be used by persons with adequate competence in rescue opera-
tions. Competence ought to/shall be regularly updated in compliance with applicable
health and safety legislation.
An emergency situation can be extremely demanding with major time pressure on the
rescue equipment to be used. Consequently it is of great importance that personnel in
high altitude areas equipped with RESQ DD™ undergo regular refresher training so that
handling procedures in accordance with these instructions can be derived.
