Emergency Descent
The dead rope must
never be loaded (in
order to avoid side
loading on the Rope
Guide). Do not build
tramways using the
primary rope as
shown in the picture.
CAUTION
When descending, make sure the rope is fed
neatly into the Rope Grab so that there are no
kinks or twists in the rope. Take special care
when using long ropes to prevent twists or
kinks. Good rope management is ESSENTIAL.
RECOMMENDATION
When descending, hold the rope entering
the Ascender to prevent it from running
twisted into the Ascender.
i
Ensure, especially when descending, that
the rope runs untwisted into the Ascender.
Twisted ropes caught into the Rope Guide
can cause a rope jam and can, in rare
cases, result in rope damage.
