Retrieving the User After a Fall
Once a fall has been arrested, the user will remain suspended until rescued to a safe platform or the ground. It is
important that the rescue procedure is carried out quickly after a fall.
In order to release the fall arrest brake mechanism, the suspended person must be raised, allowing the rope to retract a
little way into the retrieval. The rope can then extract from the unit, allowing the user to be rescued to a safe place.
The retrieval destination and the manner of retrieval must be determined during a pre-use assessment. The user must
not be left suspended for extended periods of time.
The retrieval mechanism may be engaged to retrieve the user. Instructions to Engage the Retrieval Mechanism are also
situated on the rear label.
1. Pull out/up and hold locking Button. Push Handle into body to engage mechanism. Align gears if necessary by
slight rotation of Handle.
2. Release locking Button. Ensure it seats within the slot.
3. Attempt to pull Handle away from the body of the unit to check gearing is locked in position.
4. Rotate Handle up half a turn to disengage Fall Arrest brake.
5. The User can now be Raised or Lowered to safety.
