Pull out on the plunger pin until the ratch-
et handle pops outward. It may be nec-
essary to rotate the handle slightly to fully
engage the internal gears. The plunger
pin should snap back into its original po-
sition when the gears are fully engaged.
The unit is now in retrieval mode.
NOTE: A rescue may be executed by rais-
ing a person to safety.
TO RAISE: While maintaining light
tension on the lifeline, rotate the ratchet
handle counter-clockwise (CCW) to
crank the lifeline into the housing.
WARNING: Always ensure that the
plunger pin has returned completely
into the locked position when changing
the unit from retractable to retrieval
mode. Do not use the unit if it will not
hold the load while in retrieval mode.
Self-Retracting Lifeline Operation
To return the unit to the retractable mode, re-
move the weight from the lifeline and secure
the end of the lifeline as it will begin to retract
once the internal gears are disengaged. Pull
out on the plunger pin and hold. Push inward
on the ratchet handle, where it connects to the
gear shaft, to disengage the gears and let pin
drop into the locked position.
