The upper end is attached to the eyelet provi-
ded in the overhead guard via a carabiner.
The rucksack itself is sealed using a plastic
seal.
The original system must not be used for prac-
tice, because this causes a certain amount of
wear and the seal no longer serves as a moni-
toring element.
A figure-of-eight knot is tied on the other end
to protect it from unthreading. This knot is se-
cured with a cable tie.
Operating instructions
The rucksack contains the operating instruc-
tions for the system. These instructions must
be observed and must not be removed under
any circumstances.
Redirecting point for the rope
In order to bring the person abseiling into a
more favourable position, the rope can be re-
directed with an additional snap hook in most
versions of the overhead guard. This addition-
al carabiner is attached to the safety harness
chest eyelet area. To redirect the rope, the
snap hook is detached from its original posi-
tion and reattached in a bore provided in a
strut on the overhead guard (2).
Testing
A technical expert must check the abseil sys-
tem at least once a year to confirm that it is in
perfect condition and functions correctly. To
perform this check, remove the seal to ensure
that the system can be removed. Once the
check has been successfully performed, seal
the rucksack using the next seal. The maxi-
mum number of seals required is included in
the rucksack.
Replacement state of wear
The maximum permissible service life for this
abseil system is restricted. During this time,
only minimal use is permitted and the system
must be stored in optimum conditions. See the
operating instructions for the respective abseil
