SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Descending equipment (emergency)

If needing to descend (for example when

running out of fuel), there is a rescue kit on

the ActSafe Ascender that enables the wor-

ker to simply connect a descending device,

disengage the ascender, and then descend

to the ground.

The rescue kit consists of

• 1 sling

• 1 step loop

• 2 karabiners (colour coded blue and red).

• 1 rope clamp

• 1 descender device including

red karabiner

How to perform self rescue is further

explained on page 20 and is also a part

of the basic Ascender training.

Over load protection

The ascender is equipped with overload

protection that is based on a centrifugal

friction function.

When the engine speed increases, two

brake shoes are forced towards a drum; the

friction causes the rope grab to be driven.

If the ascender is run according to the

instructions, the overload protection will

withstand 300 kg.

The maximum load can also be limited if

the engine’s power diminishes, e.g. if lower

quality fuel is used, if the air lter is dirty, if

the weather conditions are bad, if used at

higher altitude etc.

When the Ascender is new, a somewhat

lower lift capacity may be experienced due

to the fact that the brake shoes have not

yet been run in.

If the ascender still has a low lift capacity,

despite a running in period, this can be due

to worn brake shoes. Contact your ActSafe

local distributor.

The transmission is equipped with a

safety shear bolt protecting it from dama-

ge. It is located under the rescue kit bag.
