OR AS FOLLOWS:
In order to carry out a rescue the rescuer requires a harness with a front point of attachment.

the rope length in the kit must be four times the distance from the anchorage to the point of safety.
INSPECTION & EXAMINATION:
USER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Keep these instructions, or a copy with the RES-Q Rescue Kit to aid future inspection,
& examination.
The equipment must be given a visual and tactile inspection when delivered to site/works, & before
every use. We recommend recorded inspection by a competent person every 6 months.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:
Metal-ware & Rope:
Inspect for signs of damage/distortion/corrosion, & correct operation & locking of connectors.
Examine for any signs of wear/abrasion, including inter strand wear, unraveling, extension and fusion. Part Code: RESQKIT
Local abrasion as distinct from general wear may be caused by the passage of the rope over sharp
edges or protrusios while under tension & may cause serious loss of strength. Slight damage to outer
fibers & occasional yarn may be considered harmless but any reduction in diameter of the rope
or serious distortion to the sheath pattern should lead to rejection.
All Personal Protective Equipment should be immediately removed from service after being subjected
to any shock or if there is any doubt about its condition.
The RES-Q Rescue Kit may be cleaned if required. The following procedure must be adhered to:
• Use a mild detergent with hand hot water.
• Use a cloth, or sponge to wipe the RES-Q Rescue Kit & avoid over wetting.
• This procedure should then be repeated with clean water to rinse.
• Then allow drying naturally away from any direct heat source.
If you require more information please contact LINQ.
All equipment should be stored and transported with the following precautions:
• Prevent contact with sharp objects.
• Keep away from harmful substances.
• Keep in a cool dry place free from direct sunlight.
