read the entire instruction manual and
have a thorough understanding of the
device, prior to use. A secondary rope
grab must always be used.

Device Labels
The Ronin Lift can only be serviced
or repaired by Ronin or an approved
certified repair center. The
maintenance or repair can be
scheduled by visiting
www.roninpowerascender.com and
obtaining a Return Material
Authorization (RMA). Do not open
the Ronin Lift or warranty will be
voided. The “Do Not Open” label is
a tear away one-use label for anti-
tampering.
The brake label provides instructions
on which direction to operate the
brake handle for releasing the brake.
The brake is always in the “On”
position. To release the brake, you
must physically pull down on the
handle and hold it open to descend.
Once you release the brake, then it
will automatically spring back to the
on position. The brake is an On / Off
switch and cannot be feathered. To
control descent speed and ultimately
come to a stop, it is recommended
to tend the tailing line of the rope in
your right hand, while holding the
brake open with your left hand.
Simply squeezing the rope with your
right hand will slow you down or
bring you to a stop, then release the
brake handle. This will help to
preserve your ropes life

will have the below tensioner
label. The tension label describes
which direction to turn the red
tensioner knob to apply less
tension (Left Turn) or more
tension (Right Turn) to the rope.
Less tension (Left Turn)
decreases the grip on the rope for
lighter loads or to increase
descent speed. Turning the
tension fully to the left is to load
rope only. Turning it to the Right
(clockwise) direction increases
grip on the rope for ascending /
lifting loads.
Serial Numbers 3200-R and
Below the tension label describes
which direction to turn the red
tensioner knob to apply more (Left
Turn) or less tension (Right Turn)
to the rope. More tension (Left
Turn) increases the grip on the
rope to reduce rope slippage with
heavier loads. Turning it to the Left
(Counterclockwise) direction
increases grip on the rope.
Turning it fully to the Right
(Clockwise) direction allows rope
to be loaded in the device.

Rope Requirements
Ronin Lift Serial Numbers 3000-R
and up only
We do not force usage of a
single rope for our
ascenders. However, not all
ropes are created equal.
With that in mind here is a
list of ropes we’ve
approved for use with our
system. Rope will have a
big impact on how your
ascender performs.
13

Remove any tape or markers from the
ends of the rope, before inserting into
the Ronin Lift. Make sure your ends are
burnt so NO inner core is visible. A hot
knife cut, or factory burn is not
acceptable.
Please follow the instructions below.
Rope Preparation
•Remove any tape or markers from
the ends of the rope.
•Eject the inner core out from the
outer jacket about 0.5 in (1.3 cm).
•Cut the inner core with rope cutters
and milk the outer sheath back over
the inner core. The inner core
should be recessed into the outer
jacket now.
•Burn the ends of the rope with a
torch and use a rag to cone the end
after burning.
•Make sure your rope tip is coned
and no inner core is visible.

•Make sure you are using a secondary
rope grab system.
•Check that your primary and secondary
climbing lines are in acceptable climbing
condition.
•All PPE is on and secured (Helmet,
Gloves, eye protection.)
•Battery indicator is showing sufficient
charge for the job.
•Be sure to clean out any rope fibers from
the brake teeth, visible from the rope exit
hole.
•Attach the battery to the Ronin Lift and
confirm you hear a series of 5 beeps.
(Be sure to push down the battery with
some force, when connecting to the
Ronin.)
•Slowly roll down the thumbwheel. The
motor should activate and speed up as
you roll down further. When you release
the thumbwheel, the motor should turn
off. (If you have a Deadman handle
upgrade then perform this while
squeezing the Deadman trigger)

Be sure you’ve read and understand the Rope Preparation
section on page 14, before continuing.
Step 1: Fully rotate the red tensioner knob in
the counterclockwise (Left) direction, until the
rocker arm bottoms out on the ascenders
housing. This will pull down the tensioner and
create space to allow the rope to feed into the
system. Make sure the red knob is turned
fully counterclockwise (Left), until it cannot
be turned any more.
Step 2: Insert an approved Static Line Rope
(10 mm to 13 mm diameter) through the rope
inlet hole. Push until it stops. TAP the
thumbwheel once, while pushing the rope.
The system should have pulled in about 2 in (5
cm) of rope

Step 3: Now pull down on the red brake
handle slightly and slowly roll down the
thumbwheel, until the rope comes out the rope
exit hole. Do not pull the red brake handle
fully open or this will activate reverse
function.
Step 4: Before Ascending turn the red
tensioner knob to the clockwise (Right)
direction, until hand tight. If you feel the Ronin
slipping on the rope during ascending or
winching, then stop and turn the red tensioner
knob clockwise (Right) 1-2 additional turns,
until slipping stops.
Step 5: Roll down the thumbwheel slowly and
run out the slack in your climbing line until your
Ronin is at waste level. If your Ronin is
equipped with a Deadman handle upgrade,
then you will need to pull the Deadman
trigger first before the thumbwheel can
activate the motor.

Step 1: Connect the Ronin Lift to your harness
with a load rated carabineer clip, using the
lower housing attachment point
Step 2: Rotate the thumbwheel down slowly to
start ascending. The thumbwheel switch is a
variable speed thumbwheel capable of
providing ascent speeds of 0.5 –1.5 ft/sec
(0.15 - 0.46 m/sec). The further you roll down
the thumbwheel the faster the ascent will be.
(Note: The brake is always engaged
automatically, while ascending. When you
release the thumbwheel, the Ronin will
automatically brake in that spot.)

Caution: Ensure you have all safety
equipment on and properly secured, prior

Step 3: Once your reach your desired
height, then simply release the
thumbwheel. The brake will
automatically hold you in place.
Step 4: When ready to descend its best
practice to TAP the thumbwheel and then
simultaneously pull the brake handle down.
This will help to preserve your rope. If you run
out of battery at any time and do not have
power, then you can always just pull the brake
handle open to descend. (Note: If you pull
the brake handle open and do not descend
or descend very slowly, then this is due to
the tensioner knob being set too tight for
the weight you are lifting. turn the red
tensioner knob counterclockwise (Left) 1-2
turns to remove tension and repeat step.)
Caution: Do not pull open the brake and
roll the thumbwheel down to descend.
Reverse function is not used to descend
the line.
