Fig. 1 Depress to Release
Automatic Fall Arrest Mode
Some rope grabs can be placed in a closed (unlocked) position, which allows the device to follow the user
freely up or down the lifeline. In the event of a fall, the rope grab (fall arrester) will automatically grip the
lifeline and arrest the fall. Never manipulate or hold the fall arrester body or lever, instead move the fall
arrester up/down by the lanyard component.

3.3.3 Installing and Using

To attach certain rope grabs to the rope, hold the rope grab with the arrow pointing up. In accordance with
CSA regulations, some devices have an anti-upside down feature which prevents opening or closing if in
the improper orientation.
