How to use Safely

Your safety requires your diliagence! 

Core Safety Rules

• No Single Line Protection: Never use the Rise or Lift as your sole independent safety line or for primary fall arrest. 

• Avoid Slack: Keep the line tight. Allowing slack can cause the device to shock-load, slip, or severely damage/shear the rope.

• Correct Orientation: Always install the device with with rope facing toward the direction of pull or anchor point. Test before climbing. 

Operation and Inspection

• Check Rope Limits: Only use ropes and carabiners matching safety standards with diameters listed that fit the device being used. 

• Inspect the Mechanism: Before putting any weight on any device make sure that the mechanism locks completely shuts and aligns smoothly. 

• Ground Practice: Test and practice with the mechanical ascender close to the ground before relying on it at any elevation above ground level
