Use
To control the device in descent, your left
hand is used to position the handle, and
your right hand is used on the trailing
length of rope to give you extra security
and fine adjustments of speed control. If
in the situation that you pull the handle
too far the device will STOP. To RESET
the device rotate the handle clockwise, in
the direction of the arrows. This will
allow you to continue to DESCEND. All
rope adjustment devices create heat
when travelling along rope at speed,
which can cause damage to the rope.
Always check the rope for damage as well
as the device.
Storage & Transportation
The product should be stored in a clean,
dry environment away from exposure to
UV, corrosive or chemical substances or
extreme heat sources. Care should be
taken to protect the product against
damage during transportation.
Product Inspection & Maintenance
In addition to the visual inspections (see
Inspection) a thorough examination
should be carried out by a competent
person in line with applicable legislation
withdrawn from use and not used again
until confirmed in writing by a competent
person that it is safe to do so, should any
doubt arise about its condition for safe
use or, if it has been used to arrest a fall.
The
potential lifetime of ISC products is up to 10
years for plastic or textile products, and indefi-
nite for metal products. The actual lifetime of a
product depends on a variety of factors such
as, the intensity of use, the frequency of use,
the environment in which it has been used, the
competency of the user, and how well it has
been maintained and stored etc.
Cleaning
The product must be cleaned regularly
(or after every use in a marine
environment) with a mild detergent.
Afterwards the product should be rinsed
in clean water and allowed to dry
naturally. Alternatively an air gun can be
used to clear debris from device. Moving
parts may be oiled regularly with a light
oil such as 3-in-1.
