Handling - Evacuation (Automatic Descent) - Cresto RESQ DD-X Bedienungsanleitung

6. HANDLING – EVACUATION
(Automatic descent)
For automatic descent the equipment shall be top-mounted, at which the rope feed is
controled by back up person and the rescue rope is attached to the person(s) needing
evacuation. The back up person (operator) shall be positioned up at the rope feed and
control the descent process by holding the rope feed.
Only once the last evacuee is ready to be evacuated. i.e. the operator him/herself is
about to be lowered, the equipment is reattached so that the rope is affixed to the har-
ness' approved A-point chest eye loop or D-ring and follows the operator down to the
ground.

Note: When using RESQ DD™ in extreme sub-zero temperatures it is recom-
mended before descent to activate the winder function and to advance
around 1-2 decimetres of rope, de-activate the winder and ensure that
the rope runs normally through RESQ DD™. See Chapter 7 - Handling.
