RELEASING THE SAFETY CATCH
A To release, the two lock sliders are
pushed toward the Quickout D-ring to
uncover the two unlocking bolts.
UNLOCKING
B Pressing both unlocking bolts at the
same time releases the fastener
mechanism of the Quickout. The
Quickout can now be removed from
the TQR basic element. When
unlocking the Quickout when under
load, ensure that there is enough
space because the Quickout swings to
the side or downwards.
ATTENTION:
Only abseil with the Quickout is inserted
and secured.
INSERTION OF THE QUICKOUT
C Insert the Quickout into the basic
element from above so that the
marking points of the Quickout and
the basic element are opposite one
another.

D After pressing the unlocking bolts at
the same time, the Quickout can be
inserted into the TQR basic element.
LOCKING AND SECURING THE
QUICKOUT
E Once inserted, the two unlocking bolts
need to return to their initial position
automatically and completely, and the
Quickout must lie evenly and
completely in the basic element. Then
the two lock sliders are pushed over
the two unlocking bolts again.
CAUTION: RISK TO LIFE!
Never use the device without first
checking that it functions, and locks
safely.

USE AS AN EMERGENCY RELEASE
SYSTEM ON AN ANCHOR POINT
During tactical abseiling manoeuvres, in
particular on helicopters, operational
considerations may make it necessary to
discharge the abseiling ropes.
The fast separation unit is only
connected to the helicopter using a
connector acc. to EN  on a specifically
designated anchor point on the aircraft.
This is based on the respective flight
operation manuals, operational proce-
dures and the specifications of the heli-
copter manufacturer.
Steps should be taken to ensure that
there is no tilting on the anchor point
and that the connector lies unhindered
in the karabiner centring of the fast
separation unit.
CAUTION: RISK TO LIFE!
Anchor points must be adequately strong
(observe  kN according to EN  and/
or DGUV Regulation -)!
CAUTION: RISK TO LIFE!
When selecting the attachment point,
minimise the fall height and/or the free
fall!
COMBINATION
When combining this product with
other parts, there is a risk of mutual

SAFETY REGULATIONS
There is a risk to life if these safety
instructions are not observed!
• The personal protective equipment
(PPE) may no longer be used even in
the case of very minor faults.
• Damaged, fall-stressed or dubious
personal protective equipment or
safety devices must be immediately
withdrawn and not used. The equip-
ment may only be inspected by an
expert in compliance with DGUV
(German Social Accident Insurance)
principle -, by BORNACK or by a
workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK. This must be documented
in the test card.
• Independent modifications or repairs
are not allowed.
• Rope protection is part of the personal
fall prevention equipment and should
be assigned to a specific person.
• The personal protective equipment
may only be used by qualified staff
that are familiar with the material.
They must be proficient in handling
the personal protective equipment
and must have been briefed about the
possible risks associated with its use.
• In accordance with the accident preven-
tion guidelines (UVV), the users of
personal protective equipment against
falls (Category III) must attend a theo-
retical training course and a practical
training course. Make use of the
training competence of the BORNACK
training centres: [e-mail]
• Clothing and shoes must be suitable
for the task at hand and the weather
conditions.
• Only use if fully fit and healthy.
• Health impairments can jeopardise
the safety of the user when working at
heights or depths.
• If this PPE is used as an arrester system
(free fall is possible), only full body
harnesses that comply with EN 
may be used.
• Calculation of the possible fall path if
all necessary PPE components are used
correctly: (if necessary braking path
HSG) + surplus lanyard (situation-
dependent) + braking path energy
absorber (max. . m) + height of
D-ring (. m) + safety reserve . m.
• Before use, ensure adequate clearance
below the user to prevent impact on a
protruding object or the ground.
• Protect personal protective equipment
during storing, use and transportation
against the effects of heat (e.g.
welding flames or sparks, burning
cigarettes) and chemicals (e.g. acids,
alkalis, oils) and mechanical impact
(e.g. sharp edges).

EN
• The combinability and protective
eect of the PPE must be checked for
each hazard situation (risk assess-
ment).
• If a casualty hangs motionless in a full
body harness for a longer time, blood
cannot flow back from the legs and/or
the flow may be interrupted. This can
lead to a suspension trauma, a circula-
tory shock with serious to fatal conse-
quences.
• Before starting work, the responsible
person must draw up a plan of rescue
measures that defines how to rescue
casualties quickly and safely and
ensures first aid measures. The rescue
should be carried out as quickly as
possible, longer suspension times
(> min) can lead to medical prob-
lems. BORNACK can help you draw up
tailor-made rescue concepts and
includes these in the necessary
training courses.

OTHER
MAINTENANCE
• If necessary, apply a small amount of
oil on the joints so that the moving
parts of the karabiner and other
devices run smoothly. Preferably, use
an acid-free oil or a Teflon or sili-
cone-based agent. Ensure that the oil
does not come into contact with
textile PPE components.
• Maintenance may only be carried out
by a qualified expert in compliance
with DGUV Principle -. All
instructions in this User Manual must
be strictly observed.
• Protective equipment that is clean and
well looked after will last longer!
CLEANING
• Dry damp personal protective equip-
ment in the air, not on artificial heat
sources. Dry metal components with
cloths.
• Clean soiled textile components (e.g.
arrester harnesses and ropes) with
lukewarm water and a little detergent
for delicates. Then rinse carefully and
allow to dry in the air. Other cleaning
agents are not allowed!
• Spray with an alcoholic disinfectant.
Observe the usage instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
• If the personal protective equipment
comes into contact with salt-water,
keep it wet until it can be rinsed with
plenty of distilled water.
• Use compressed air to blow on the
unit if necessary.
LIFE SPAN
The following recommendation applies
for the use of the TQR:
Maximum usage period after being
used for the first time:
x activation under load, as long as
the device shows no signs or damage or
malfunctions, and safe locking is guar-
anteed.
The red lock sliders of the TQR may
lose their colour over time as a result of
weathering, e.g. UV radiation. This is a
normal process. The TQR must be
withdrawn from use at the latest when
the plastic is visibly porous and a signif-
icant loss of strength is recognisable.
The expert makes a decision about these
parts based on his technical expertise.
Metal parts are not subject to age-
related life span deadlines. The expert
makes a decision based on his technical
expertise and the latest version of the
standard.

 | 
OTHER
For reasons of safety, intensive use and/
or extreme application conditions such
as sharp edges, chemical influences, UV
radiation etc. will reduce the usage
period. The company owner needs to
take this into account in the workplace
risk analysis.
The company owner must ensure
compliance with the maximum usage
period by documenting first-time use in
the test card.
The test card at the end of this User
Manual must be presented during the
regular expert inspections and be
completed by an expert.

REPAIRS
• For reasons of liability, repairs may
only be carried out by BORNACK or in a
workshop authorised in writing by
BORNACK.
• Only original spare parts from the
manufacturer may be used.
STORAGE
• Dry wet PPE before storage.
• Store in a dry place away from direct
sunlight.
• Do not store PPE near radiators.
Permanent exposure to temperatures
below  °C or above + °C has a nega-
tive impact on the strength of the
textile material and shortens the life
span.
• Do not allow PPE to come into contact
with aggressive substances (e.g. oils,
grease, acids, chemicals). Precision
mechanics oils may be applied to
moving metallic parts during mainte-
nance. Always ensure that textile PPE
components do not come into contact
with the oil.
• Do not store personal protective
equipment close to aggressive
substances (see above) because even
the vapours of aggressive substances
can have a negative effect on the
strength of the PPE.
• Protected storage in the device case or
device bag.
TRANSPORT
• Protected transport in the device case
or device bag.
