<li>Before using the Davy Descender carry out a brief security inspection to ensure the unit has not been tampered with.</li>
<li>If the Descender is not permanently located at the fixing point, open the cover or enclosure where the descender is stored and attach it to the eye at the fixing point.</li>
<li>Check to make sure the karabiner is latched and fully locked.</li>
<li>Ensure that the descent path is clear of obstructions.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Davy descender operating instructions:</h2>
<ul>
<li>1. Drop the reel (only if using the rubber cable reel) to the landing level.</li>
<li>2. Pass the sling over the head and under the arms, then move the sling slider into the chest removing the slack.</li>
<li>3. Pull on the free end of the rope to remove any slack and make the descent rope taut.</li>
<li>4. Gently move out from the step off point and descent will commence.</li>
<li>5. Prepare for landing by bending the knees.</li>
<li>6. After landing quickly remove the sling so that the subsequent escapees can make their descent by repeating steps 4 - 6.</li>
<li>7. After an evacuation the responsible person must inspect and check over the unit before repacking and returning to use.</li>
