5.3.8 Moving the Rope Adjuster Towards the Pole: Pull your body into the pole to release tension on the rope and pull the tail end of the rope
straight towards the pole. Alternately, grab the rope near the pole with one hand and pull the tail of the rope towards the pole with the
opposite hand as shown in Figure 14 below.
5.3.9 Moving the Rope Adjuster Away from the Pole: Press the Rope Adjuster release lever with your thumb while sliding the Rope Adjuster
down along the rope. Alternately, grab the rope with one hand to support your body weight while releasing the Rope Adjuster with the
opposite hand. Fully depressing the release lever allows for a more controlled descent into proper position. See Figures 15 and 16 below.

5.4.1 Ascending:
1. Connect the device around the pole about waist high.
2. Adjust the device so that both Cleats are in contact with the pole.
3. Adjust the Rope so that your body is a comfortable distance away from the pole, about 2 feet away.
4. Hold the brown Web Strap Handles as shown in Figure 17 below. Do NOT hold the inner rope or snap hook as this may prevent the
cleats from engaging in the event of a fall.
