3. ASAP usage when approaching an obstacle or the ground
FOR
BEGINNER
3.3. Deliberately locking the ASAP in a high position
At the work station, the ASAP will naturally slide down the rope to a point below the fall arrest attachment point.
Use the ASAP LOCK's locking function if you are operating close to the ground or an obstacle, to optimize clearance.
The ASAP B71 and ASAP B71 AAA models have no locking function. It is possible to deliberately lock them by a quick downward
pull, to keep them in a higher position. Apart from cases where user safety is at stake, this deliberate locking is not recommended,
as repeated deliberate impacts can accelerate wear of the ASAP, and a simple involuntary movement can unlock it without the
user's knowledge.
3.4. Monitor the rope tension
Close to the ground, with little rope weight, it is important to make sure the rope is properly sliding through the ASAP, to avoid
creating a loop of slack that can increase the potential fall distance.
