Ascent & Descent - ActSafe T1-16 Manuel Utilisateur

Ascent & descent
1. Switch the ascender on.
2. Choose travel direction up/down.
3. Turn the speed control towards you
to increase the speed.
4. Feed away the dead rope gently
during the first few meters of ascent.
After approx 5 meters the weight of
the rope will be sufficient to "clean"
itself from the ascender.
5. Stop the motion by turning the handle
away from you or letting it go.
Always make sure that the rope feeds
smoothly. During ascent make sure the
outgoing rope is not blocked in any way.
During descent make sure no twists pass
the rope guide.

CAUTION
Do not hold the rope just above the winch,
there is a risk of being pinched.
RECOMMENDATION
Stand straight beneath the anchor point in
order to avoid a pendulum movement when
starting off the ground.
Adjust the speed according to the circumstan-
ces, be aware and use common sense.
If balance is needed, hold on to the primary
connection sling or karabiner.
When descending, be careful as the high de-
scent speed may activate the fall arrest device.
