Emergency descent
A brake is always engaged when power is
disconnected or when the speed control
handle is at rest. When powered on the
system is in control of the brake, making it
very hard to manually operate.
The emergency descent handle shall
be used like any other descent device. The
speed and descent distance shall be ad-
justed according to the circumstances. Use
the emergency in normal speed (<140m/
min).
An emergency descent at very high
speed and over very long distance will risk
damage to the battery due to uncontrol-
led charging of the battery. This risk is
increased with a fully charged battery.

CAUTION

high speed and/or over very long distances.
The battery may be destroyed.
RECOMMENDATION
When used in training, descend short to me-
dium distances at normal speed with less than
100% battery capacity.
