How do you determine the ratio of a mechanical advantage system?
Count the pulleys
What must you be aware of at all times when rigging?

Semi-Remote
What are the problems with a two line system?

Base line (pathway), Working line (lifts and moves), Auxiliary line (supplemental tasks)
When do you attach to the suspect device?
Always last just before returning the safe area
What is the greatest advantage of a two line system?

Both systems involve a great deal of stress on the suspect package.
What is the advantage of using a drag assembly in a multiple line system?
