No modifications may be carried out on parts.

A deformation can impair the function of the sliding vehicle or internal non-visible fractures can reduce its strength.

Gloves and helmet The IMMOOS 4-stroke engine for the SS1 is optional available. Thanks to the engine the rescuer can indepen- dently move uphill (up to max. 36% / ~ 20 °). For this purpose, please note the instructions of use „GA_EN_Zu-...
The IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 enables a rescuer to reach the occupied cable car vehicle along the rope (stran- ded rope) during a ropeway rescue. Version 1: The rescue carriage type SS1 mGB / SS1-Twin / SS2 mGB has automatic brakes (centrifugal and dead man's brake). It is admit- tet for maximum 105% rope inclination. Version 2: The rescue carriage type SS1 oGB does not have automatic brakes.
The hook of the safety line is attached to a suitable place during every action. The rescuer secures the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 on the safety harness using the laterally adjustable stay rope 2 m (chapter 3, position 3).

When mounting the rescue carriage, make sure that the counterpressure roller is pressed slightly onto the rope with the brake lever and the catch engages with the toothed insert. The locking screw, if needed, is turned only until the roller is not completely blocked. If the counterpressure roller is blocked, the danger exists that the rubber will be damaged and the counterpressure roller will lose its function.

If the hand brake is opened too far during the run, the deadman’s brake will be ineffective. The speed at the IMMOOS carriage typ SS1 / SS2 mGB (Version 1) is regulated by the automatic centrifugal brake (max. approx. 1.8 m/s).
Travelling with the Rescue Carriage Type SS1 / SS2, Flat Rope The hook of the safety line must be attached to a suitable place during every action. Screw the locking screw on the counter-pressure roller to the point that the roller can rotate Insert hand cranks (optional) into a free opening of the roller axle.
Stopping at the Grip of a Cable Car Vehicle or Pulley Array Stop before the grip of the cable car vehicle. The hook of the safety line must be attached to a suitable place during every action. Before the grip of the cable car or before the roller battery at the cable car tower, the speed is reduced by pulling the hand brake lever.
The rope grip is driven over when the device is open. 11. Taking the Rescue Carriage off the Rope The hook of the safety line must be attached to a suitable place during every action. If the rescue carriage is taken off the rope, the quick release pin with T-grip is pulled out from one side. The lower part of the rescue carriage is swung away and the rescue carriage is removed from the rope.
Always dry naturally, i.e. never near fire or other sources of heat. 13. Inspection, Cleaning, Maintenance and Repair As we all know, emergency ropeway rescues are seldom. As a result, the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 is used very little (except for the exercises required by law).
MOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 must be serviced by the manufacturer or by a person he has authorized. If there exist several numbers of IMMOOS rescue carriages SS1 / SS2 , we recommend using for training and instruc- tion purposes always the 1-2 same carriages.
