Manufacturer's instructions must be followed for proper use, care, and maintenance of this product. These instructions must be retained and be kept available for the user's reference at all times. Alterations or misuse of this product, or failure to follow instructions, may result in serious injury or death.

INTRODUCTION: Kstrong introduces the IRSQ RESCUE KIT specifically designed to be used to rescue a casualty who is currently suspended by a fall arrest lanyard or Fall arrest Block. The Rescuer can raise the casualty to release their current attachment so they can be raised or lowered to safety without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty. The Kit comes complete with a Aluminium Double Pulleys, Steel Karabiners, 50m of Kernmantle Rope, Grip Descender, Rope Clamp, Telescopic Pole with Aluminium Rebar Hook, Anchorage Webbing Slings & Kit Back Bag. The IRSQ RESCUE KIT is to provide a rescue kit that will enable a rescuer to:

Attach a casualty who is suspended by a fall arrest lanyards.

Raise the casualty in order to release their current attachment.

Raise or lower the casualty to a point of safety.

The above capabilities are all achievable without the need for the rescuer to access the casualty. To carry out this, the rescuer must be able to access the point at which the casualty has anchored their lanyard. The control feature of the rescue kit locks automatically if released. The IRSQ RESCUE KIT can be used in two different modes depending upon whether the anchor point is at the rescuer's foot level or above (being 1.5 m above to have any material effect). If the anchor is at foot level, then the system will not be able to raise the casualty sufficiently to bring them back to their start point. The casualty must be raised to release their lanyard, then lowered to the ground if there is no obstruction. To help the rescuer to raise the casualty, the kit has been designed with a mechanical advantage of (4:1). If the anchor is 1.5 m above foot level, preferably at head height it will be possible to raise the casualty to their start point. Again the rescuer is able to use their weight to assist in the operation with the help of the mechanical advantage of (4:1).

INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION: Keep these instructions, or a copy with the IRSQ RESCUE KIT to aid future inspection, and examination. The equipment must be given a visual and tactile inspection when delivered to site/works, and before every use. We recommend recorded inspection by a competent person every 6 months. Particular attention should be paid to the following: Ÿ Hardware & Rope: Inspect for signs of damage/distortion/corrosion, and correct operation & locking of connectors. Examine for any signs of wear/abrasion, including inter strand wear, unravelling, extension and fusion. Local abrasion as distinct from general wear may be caused by the passage of the rope over sharp edges or protrusions while under tension and may cause serious loss of strength. Slight damage to outer fibres and occasional yarn may be considered harmless but any reduction in diameter of the rope or serious distortion to the sheath pattern should lead to rejection. All Personal Protective Equipment should be immediately removed from service after being subjected to any shock or if there is any doubt about its condition.
