Illustration of the AG 10 Hoist A aluminium-carabiner aluminium-handwheel aluminium shackle with a device to redirect the rope descender device AG 10 with a centrifugal force brake for a regular descent cam cleat descender rope static sheathed core rope = 9 mm retracted handle aluminium-carabiner 1. Description The Abseiling Rescue Device AG 10 Hoist A is used for the rescue of injured persons from high or deep work locations. The abseiling device AG 10 Hoist A is not a fall arresting system.
PAGE 5
The carabiner located on the abseiling device is hooked into the eye of the anchor point and secured with the swivel nut. The textile rope is lowered coil-free to the ground. The abseiling is also possible if the rope stock remains on the platform. The rescue rope must be inserted into the AG 10 Hoist A so that the carabiner on the end of the rope is located on the device side opposite to the aluminium shackle.
PAGE 6
Both persons to be abseiled must wear a full body harness or rescue harness (observe the respective insructions for use). After the injured person was lifted to a secured platform, the rescuer can lock the carabiner at the end of the rope, which is located in the chest or back eye of the full body-harness of the injured person into his own chest eye too and secure the carabiner with the swivel nut.

In the case of numerous use or greater stressing (e.g. environmental or industrial factors affecting the materials), the complete abseiling equipment should be subjected to inspection at an accordingly higher frequency.
