BeFoRe eAcH Use

Before loading and using a vertical rescue system,
check every component of the system, including:
1) anchorage connector, 2) rope, 3) controlled
descent device, 4) connectors, 5) harness, and
6) the rescue transfer unit, if your system includes this
part. Pre-rigging as much of the system as possible
saves time and avoids mistakes. Ensure that every
component of your vertical rescue system is safe and
ready to use.
See the section titled "Care and Maintenance" for
specific procedures.
L
WARNING: If any of these inspections fail or
if you have any doubts about any component
of your vertical rescue system, do not use it.
Inspection increases the likelihood but does not
guarantee having a safe vertical rescue system
and inspection offers no additional warranty
rights above those contained in this manual.

The following drawing shows how to thread
rope into a DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent
device. If you want to use the manual brake by
tailing the free end of the rope, and you want to
do that with your right hand, thread rope through
the DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent device
so that the free end of the rope exits the device
on the side nearer to the back cover hinge. The
illustration at right shows how to thread rope into a
