IMPORTANT: The anchorage must support the loads specified in section 2.3. Make

certain all connectors are compatible. See section 2.1 and 2.2.

B. DESCENT PATH AND LANDING AREA CLEARANCE: Your descent path must

be unobstructed. Landing area must be clear of obstructions to permit a safe

landing. Failure to provide an unobstructed descent path and landing area may

result in serious injury or death. See Figure 5.

C. SHARP EDGES: Avoid using this equipment where system components will be

in contact with, or abrade against, unprotected sharp edges. If using this

equipment near sharp edges is unavoidable, cover the edge with a heavy pad.

D. SYSTEM LENGTH: Make certain the system length is sufficient to reach the

desired level. If the rope is too short, the descent will stop before you reach the

desired level. If the rope is too long, multiple descents will be delayed because of

the need to manually pull rope through the device to reach the end of the system.

3.3

INSTALLATION OF EACH COMPONENT:

WARNING: All users must be trained in the

operation of this device before use. See

section 4.0 of this manual. Failure to train and

practice with this device may result in serious

injury or death.

A. RESCUMATIC® EMERGENCY

ESCAPE DEVICE: The device must

be positioned close to the escape

point. Attachment of the escape

device to the anchor point is made

with the carabiner provided with the

system. See section 2.4, 2.5, and

2.6. See Figure 6.

B. ROPE SPOOL: The rope spool

should be mounted to a rotating

spindle if the rope length is over 250 ft (76.2m)or if an angled descent is desired.

The rope spool should be located just below the Rescumatic® Emergency Escape

Devise. Make sure the reel rotates freely and rope can unravel as the descent

proceeds. The rope spool and rotating spindle should be protected from weather and

the environment. See Figure 7. For vertical systems 250 ft (76.2m)or less, the spool

can be dropped to the safe level before descending.

IMPORTANT: Do not drop the rope spool from great heights. READ these instructions

carefully and completely before using this equipment.

IMPORTANT: Only one person may use this equipment at a time. The Rescumatic®

Emergency Escape Device is designed for EMERGENCY descent use only.

C. ANGLED GUIDELINE CABLE: Applications with a angled descent require a guide

cable. Systems requiring a guide cable must be designed by a qualified person.

The angle at which the guide cable is secured, as well as the amount of sag in the

guide cable, will affect the descent speed. The guide cable must be installed with

sufficient slope and limited sag to ensure the user will reach the landing area. The

guide cable and the anchorage point must support the weight of the user in a

descent. Guide cable must be 3/8 in. (10mm) minimum wire rope (the DBI/SALA

snatch block will fit 3/8 in. (10mm) maximum size guide cable).

The cable is installed permanently at approximately a 15 to 45 degree angle from

vertical. It may be secured to the ground with a screw anchor or other suitable
