Product Manual
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.
The rope between the abseiling decive and the person to be lowered must not be a slack 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 swicel nut.
The rope between the abseiling device and the person to be lowered must not be a slack rope; the free rope on the
other side must be pulled downwards and held force. The free rope is leaded through the aluminium shackle during
the process. Both persons can now abseil from the rescue platform by releasing the held rope.
The descending speed will be controlled automatically by a centrifugal force brake. It is also possible to interrupt
the descend on the upwards sliding rope by braking with the hand.
Special reference:
If no more persons are on the platform, an individual person is able to abseiling itself like described above, but it
does no longer exist for the entire abseiling way the possibility of manual stopping, because after passing the half
abseiling distance, the “coming up rope” is above the abseiling person.
The simultaneous abseiling of two person allows a casualty to be lowered under accompanying medical supervision.
Recovering the rescuer after the rescue process
After completion of the rescue operation, the AG 10 Hoist A is released from the anchor point by the rescuer and
carabiner located on the rope termination of the free rope is hooked into the anchor point and secured with the
swivel nut. The carabiner on the AG 10 Hoist A is hooked into the chest eye of the full-body harness so that the
person can descend by way of the abseiling rescue device.
The rope below the device (run-in-point of the rope) must be pulled downwards and held with force-the rope must
not be a slack rope. The rope is further leaded through the aluminium shackle. The person can now abseil from the
rescue platform by releasing the held rope.
The descending speed will be controlled automatically by a centrifugal force brake (standard speed of approx. 2.30
ft per second). It is also possible to interrupt the descend by braking (holding) the upward travelling rope below the
device with the hand, so that a lowering of the device along the rope is not possible.
During this described process, the rescued casualty remains on the ground without being released form the rescue
rope by a third person.
5. Storage and transportation
The rescue equipment should be stored in a dry and cool room and protected from UV light. Avoid contact with
acids, caustic liquids and oils. Rope which has been unavoidably wetted should only be dried in a natural way.
A strong equipment bag or equipment case should alwasy be used for the transportation of the abseiling equipment
in order to avoid a damage by exteranal influences.
6. Cleaning
A cleaning of the textile components of the abseiling equipment may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
7. Maintenance
The abseiling equipment must be visually examined by the user prior to each use in order to confirm that the
equipment is in a fit-for-use condition.
The rescue equipment is to be withdrawn from use and subject to an inspection by the manufacurer when damage
to rope, carabiner or the abseiling device is ascertained.
With determination of any damage at rope, equipment housing, shcackle, safety snap hook or the handwheel the
equipment the device is to be with drawn immediately from use and is to be delivered to the manufacturer or a
person designed by the manufacturer for the examination.
A utilization period of 6-8 years can be assumed for the textile ropes under normal conditions of use.
Attention: A modification or add-on to the abseiling device is not permitted.
