MAX Descender Range
The MAX Descender is the most versatile constant rate descender on the market today,
packed full of innovative features. Models are available for both automatic hands free
operation and multiple descent models with advanced rescue functionality, as well as
power assisted option (seperate Checkmate approved drill required). The device is
designed to be used attached to the anchor point in regular mode of operation, or in
an inverted mode, attached to the user and/or casualty. The device is completely
symmetrical, allowing full use of all functions regardless of the direction the MAX is
running. This also gives full functionality for each multiple descent or rescue. This
device has an automatic braking system. This manual must be provided to the
user/rescuer before use, all users must read and understand the information given in
this manual before using this device. The MAX descender range is designed for
emergency descent & rescue purposes only and must not be used for fall arrest
applications, lifting/ lowering loads or other non-rescue related tasks.
