Installation on the anchor
Defining and making an
anchor is a topic that is
too complex to be fully
described in this notice.
Only a few examples are
shown. You must have
completed a specific
training and be practiced
in setting up an anchor to
use an EXO.
9A. Around a structure
Pass the hook end of
the rope around a solid,
stationary anchor.
Secure the connection by
threading a loop of rope
through the hitching slot
and wrapping the anchor
hook.
9B. Using the hook
- on a window sill: set the hook on the
window sill (head on the inside) with
the left hand. Place it on the left side
of the window, so as to create the best
placement for performing the roll-out.
- around a post, on the edge of a
wall, etc.: place the hook as low as
possible in a stable position and
always keep the rope between the hook
and the descender under tension.
WARNING DANGER OF DEATH: you
must always keep your rope under
tension. Do not allow any slack in the
rope between the descender and the
hook as this creates a risk of the hook
detaching from its anchor.
WARNING DANGER OF DEATH: your
rope must not be in contact with
an edge that is sharp or abrasive or
having a high temperature.
WARNING, the hook must not be
cantilevered (for example on a beam),
as there is a risk of unhooking.
Do not allow any slack in the rope between the descender and the hook
