27. Rescue exercises can be designed to be very versatile and very complex and therefore do not meet the specified standard
test procedure. This can lead to premature wear of the descender and rope . The reason for this can be for example: Lower
descent heights - the rope runs through the device more often; reciprocal strain from the lifting device and descent - gear box,
pulley and rope are strained more heavily; mainly unilateral strain on the device - gear box, pulley and rope are very heavily
used; turning the hand wheel against the backstop - excessive force may result in backstop failure and block any descent; in
addition, the effects can be exacerbated, for example from how the user handles the rope /device and the ambient conditions
(environmental influences, pollution, chemical effects, edge loads, etc.)
28. The following recommendations on use should be observed: The descent rescue equipment and the descent rope s can be
strained until they reach their tested descent load 140 kg (7,500,000 joules) / 200 kg (1.500.000joules). Any descent work
by the devices shall be documented in the test log after the end of the exercise. When the maximal required descent work is
reached, the device with the corresponding notation in the test log should always be sent to the manufacturer. If the device is
mainly strained on one side, then the maximum possible descent load 140 kg (3,750,000 joules) / 200 kg (750.000 joules) is
halved.
29. The exercises should be planned so that the maximum possible descent load of the device to be performed 140 kg (7,500,000
joules or 3,750,000joules as per Item 28) / 200 kg (1.500,000 joules or 750,000 joules as per Item 28) is never exceeded.
30. The descender devices for rescue heats up from the centrifugal brake. If several exercises take place consecutively, plan an
appropriate time to cool down the device between exercises. Always wear gloves to prevent burns and injuries.
31. After the end of the exercises - no later than one day after an exercise - have the descender devices for rescue checked by a
qualified person (see Items 6 and 8). Only defect-free devices can be reused.
Device storage and transport
The packaged device, rope and accessories are to be protected from any external influences. These include extreme heat or
cold, electric influences, strong sunlight (ultra-violet degradation), sparks, knocks, falls, sharp or pointed objects, damp or other
mechanical or aggressive chemical effects. The device should always be transported in suitable packaging or one specified by the
manufacturer.
Cleaning
Clean the device after use if necessary. Rub down the rope with mild, luke-warm soapy water, rinse clean and dry. Drying should
be by natural means, i.e. do not hang up directly over heat sources. Store the descent device in a dry, well-ventilated and dark
location. Avoid contact with acids, corrosive substances and oils.
Before using disinfectants, you have to contact the manufacturer due to the complex legal product classifications based on the
specific applications and constituents.

Accessories

Please note: In order to prevent a negative impact on the safe function of the controlled descend devices, it is only permitted to use
accessories approved by the manufacturer (e.g. rescue clamps to DIN 19428:2018, protective covers, etc.). The manufacturer is
not liable for any accidents involving the life and limb of the user if using non-approved accessories.
