Ropeways with hydraulic promotion rope tensioning arrangement have to be switched o before beginning of the

rescue, in order to prevent a moving of the rope by the tensioning arrangement. Rescue work within the endanger-

ment range of the rope may take place only after the disconnection was operated.

These operating instructions relate to the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2. Please read through these opera-

ting instructions carefully and keep all product instructions and information.

Activities at high altitudes are dangerous and can lead to serious and even fatal injuries. It is solely your responsibility

to learn the user and safety precautions.

The IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 may only be used by instructed and trained, expert personnel.

The IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 is only designed for rescuing people in cableway installations. The ma-

nufacturer should be consulted regarding use for non-intended purposes.

The operating instructions of the various products used in conjunction with the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 /

SS2 must be complied with.

No modiﬁcations may be carried out on parts.

In the event of a serious accident or if the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 itself falls down or a heavy object

falls onto it, the device may no longer be used. A deformation can impair the function of the sliding vehicle or internal

non-visible fractures can reduce its strength.

The rescue carriage may only be used for the purpose intended. Other applications, such as the transportation of

materials, is not allowed.

1. Important Information

The IMMOOS rescue carriage is limited for a working load of maximum 2.5 kN by no motion (v = 0). By motion (v ≠ 0)

the maximum working load is 1.25 kN.

Test drives:

Dierent test drives were carried out with the rescue carriage on various ropeways.

The advantage of this lies in the fact that this rescue carriage can be driven independently to the blocked cable car

vehicle without a retaining rope and without the aid of an additional rescuer or helper.

The device can be used on all ropeway systems for sliding the "rescuer on the rope”. (SS1 = Rope diameter 12 - 60 mm

/ SS2 = Rope diameter 30 - 75 mm)

The IMMOOS 4-stroke engine for the SS1 is optional available. Thanks to the engine the rescuer can indepen-

dently move uphill (up to max. 36% / ~ 20 °). For this purpose, please note the instructions of use „GA_EN_Zu-

satz_SS1mitMotor“.

The IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 is mounted from the pylon platforms or from the vehicles.

Before mounting, the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 is adjusted to the appropriate ropeway-diameter. The three rope

diameter ranges are:

SS1: 12 - 24 mm / 24 - 44 mm / 44 - 60 mm SS2: 30 - 46 mm / 46 - 64 mm / 64 - 75 mm

The hook of the safety line is attached to a suitable place during every action.

5. Preparation of the Rescue Carriage

The IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 is mainly used for rescuing persons on ropeways.

4.1 Braking and Safety

The IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 enables a rescuer to reach the occupied cable car vehicle along the rope (stran-

ded rope) during a ropeway rescue.

Version 1:

The rescue carriage type SS1 mGB / SS1-Twin / SS2 mGB has automatic brakes (centrifugal and dead man's brake). It is admit-

tet for maximum 105% rope inclination.

Version 2:

The rescue carriage type SS1 oGB does not have automatic brakes. It is admittet for maximum 50% rope inclination.

Securing with a retaining rope is not necessary.

4.2 Description

The rescue carriage basically consists of:

- A body with a drive braking roller, guide roller and counter-pressure roller.

- A centrifugal brake for limiting the speed at approx. 1.8 m/s. (only version 1)

- A dead man's brake which is activated automatically when releasing the dead man's brake lever.

- A foldable suspension as connection to the lower part.

- Quick release pin on both sides for adjusting the correct rope diameter.

- A handbrake with counter-pressure roller for mechanical braking.

- Turning handle to adjust the brake, acting on the counter-pressure roller

- A suspension with 3 ﬁxing points for the rescuer and materials.

- Suspension line (safety line 2 m with rope shortener Grillon and 2 karabiners)

- Descent and ascent aid with 1 karabiner

Accessory options:

- Hand cranks

- Battery-driven hand drill with special bolts

- 2. Suspension for rescuer (rope sling 24 cm and karabiner)

The "rescuer on the rope" is protected against falling by means of the additional safety line attached to the rope with a hook.

4. Application and Description

The rescuer secures the IMMOOS rescue carriage type SS1 / SS2 on the safety harness using the laterally adjustable

stay rope 2 m (chapter 3, position 3).

The lower quick release pin of the foldable suspension is removed on one side and the lower part swung away.

The device is mounted onto the rollers over the rope (stranded rope) and then the lower suspension is swung back and

locked using the quick release pin.

The counterpressure roller is pressed lightly against the rope with the brake lever and the catch engages with the too-

thed insert. Then lock the device in place with the deadman’s brake.

The counterpressure roller can also be braked if needed through the locking screw.

The rescue carriage is thus attached to the rope. The dead man's brake and braked counter-pressure roller prevent

the rescue carriage from driving away.

The hook of the safety line is attached to a suitable place during every action.

6. Mounting the rescue carriage

Pay attention to correct direction of motion (directional arrow) of the rescue carriage.

The upper quick release pin is used for limiting the foldable suspension.

If the rope diameter is almost at the lower limit of a range and the rollers of the rescue carriage are already a little

worn, the next smaller range can be set.

In general, as soon as it has been placed on the rope, the hand brake lever in the device must always have a reserve

downward of at least two to three teeth.

In these cases, the ranges can be used as follows:

SS1 / SS1-Twin SS2

Range: Eective rope diameter: Range: Eective rope diameter:

12 - 24 mm 12 - 27 mm 30 - 46 mm 30 - 50 mm

24 - 44 mm 24 - 48 mm 46 - 64 mm 46 - 68 mm

44 - 60 mm 44 - 60 mm 64 - 75 mm 64 - 75 mm

Adjust the device on both sides to the rope diameter by means of the lower quick release pin and

insert the upper quick release pin as a stop.

Lower quick release pin

for positioning

When mounting the rescue carriage, make sure that the counterpressure roller is pressed slightly

onto the rope with the brake lever and the catch engages with the toothed insert.

The locking screw, if needed, is turned only until the roller is not completely blocked.

If the counterpressure roller is blocked, the danger exists that the rubber will be damaged and the

counterpressure roller will lose its function.

The rescuer climbs to the device using the descent and ascent aid, shortens the stay rope to the minimum using the

rope shortener Grillon and attaches himself/herself to the stay rope below the rescue carriage.

For the rescuer’s own safety, the hook of the additional stay rope is hanged on the overhead car cable (stranded

cable). This should be adjusted so that it runs loosely over the cable when moving and has no braking eect. But it

should also be made only as long as necessary.
