This connector can be used with personal fall protection

systems such as fall arrest systems, work positioning

systems, restraint systems and rescue systems.

This carabiner is also designed for use in mountaineering,

climbing and vertical activities using similar techniques.

This connector is used for connecting pieces of equipment

together.

This product must not be loaded beyond its strength rating,

nor be used for any purpose other than that for which it is

designed.

WARNING, speciﬁc training in the activities deﬁned in the ﬁeld

of application is essential before use.

This product must only be used by competent and

responsible persons, or those placed under the direct and

visual control of a competent and responsible person.

Gaining an adequate apprenticeship in appropriate techniques

and methods of protection is your own responsibility.

You personally assume all risks and responsibilities for all

Nomenclature of parts

(1) Frame, (2) Gate, (3) Hinge, (4) Locking sleeve,

(5) Keylock, (6) Keylock slot, (7) Red alert.

Principal materials: aluminum alloy.

Inspection, points to verify

Before each use

Verify that the frame, gate and locking sleeve are free of

any cracks, deformation, corrosion, etc. Open the gate and

verify that it closes itself automatically when released. The

Keylock slot must not be blocked by any foreign matter (dirt,

pebble, etc.).

During each use

It is important to regularly inspect the condition of the

product. Check its connections with the other equipment

in the system and make sure that the various pieces of

equipment in the system are correctly positioned with respect

to each other.

Consult the details of the inspection procedure to be carried

out for each item of PPE on the Web at www.petzl.com/ppe or

on the PETZL PPE CD-ROM.

Contact PETZL if there is any doubt about the condition of

this product.

Compatibility

For all of your applications, verify the compatibility of

this product with the other elements of your system

(compatibility = good functional interaction).

A connector must be compatible with the equipment to which

it is attached (shape, size, etc.). An incompatible connection

can cause accidental disconnection, breakage, or affect the

safety function of another piece of equipment.

WARNING if the connector is attached to an element of the

system that is too large (e.g. wide webbing, large bars, etc.)

the connector’s strength can be reduced.

Contact Petzl if you are uncertain about the compatibility of

your equipment.

Working principle

Diagram 1. Manipulation

Diagram 2. Installation

This connector must always be used with the gate closed and

locked.

When the locking sleeve is open, the red warning indicator

is visible.

To lock the connector, screw the locking sleeve until it stops

and blocks the gate from opening.

WARNING, vibrations and/or rubbing can loosen the locking

sleeve and unlock the connector. Check the connector

regularly to verify that it is securely locked.

The strength of the connector is greatly reduced if the gate

is open.

The carabiner is strongest when closed and loaded on its

major axis. Any other position reduces its strength.

Nothing must obstruct the connector. Any constraint or

external pressure is dangerous.

Diagram 3. Warning danger of death

Any external pressure on the gate (with a descender, for

example) is dangerous. When a sudden tension comes

onto the rope, the locking sleeve can break and the gate can

open itself. The device or rope may detach itself from the

connector.

Remember: For your safety, get into the habit of always

doubling-up your systems, especially carabiners.

Anchors

Work at height

The anchor point of the system should preferably be

located above the user’s position and must conform to

the requirements of the EN 795 standard, in particular the

minimum strength of the anchor must be 10 kN.

If your application requires frequent opening and closing of

this manual locking carabiner (multiple times in the course of

a day’s work), you should use the autolocking TRIACT -LOCK

version instead.

Sport

Respect the rules of the activity. Consult the instructions for

use for the anchors you are using.

Supplementary information regarding

standards (EN 365)

Rescue plan

You must have a rescue plan and the means to rapidly

implement it in case of difﬁculties encountered while using

this equipment. This implies an adequate training in the

necessary rescue techniques.

Clearance: amount of free space below the user

The clearance under the user must be sufﬁcient to prevent

him from striking an obstacle in case of a fall (the length of

the connector can inﬂuence the height of a fall).

Various

- Take care to minimize the potential for falls and the height of

any potential fall.

- WARNING, take care that your products do not rub against

abrasive or sharp surfaces.

- Users must be medically ﬁt for activities at height.

WARNING, inert suspension in a harness can result in serious

injury or death.

- You must verify the suitability of this equipment for use

in your application with regard to applicable governmental

Petzl general information

Lifetime

WARNING, in extreme cases, the lifetime of the product can

be reduced to one single use through exposure to for example

any of the following: chemicals, extreme temperatures, sharp

edges, major fall or load, etc.

The maximum lifetime of Petzl products is as follows: up to

10 years from the date of manufacture for plastic and textile

products. It is indeﬁnite for metallic products.

The actual lifetime of a product ends when it meets one of

the retirement criteria listed below (see “When to retire your

equipment”), or when in its system use it is judged obsolete.

The actual lifetime is inﬂuenced by a variety of factors such

as: the intensity, frequency, and environment of use, the

competence of the user, how well the product is stored and

maintained, etc.

Inspect equipment periodically for damage and/or

deterioration.

In addition to the inspection before and during use, a periodic

in-depth inspection must be carried out by a competent

inspector. This inspection must be performed at least once

every 12 months. The frequency of the in-depth inspection

must be governed by the type and the intensity of use.

To keep better track of your equipment, it is preferable to

assign each piece of equipment to a unique user so that he

will know its history. The results of inspections should be

documented in an “inspection record”. This document must

allow recording of the following details: type of equipment,

model, name and contact information of the manufacturer

or distributor, means of identiﬁcation (serial or individual

number), year of manufacture, date of purchase, date of ﬁrst

use, name of user, all other pertinent information for example

maintenance and frequency of use, the history of periodic

inspections (date / comments and noted problems / name

and signature of the competent person who performed the

inspection / anticipated date of next inspection). See example

of detailed inspection record and other informational tools

available at www.petzl.com/ppe

When to retire your equipment

Immediately retire any equipment if:

- it fails to pass inspection (inspection before and during use

and the periodic in-depth inspection),

- it has been subjected to a major fall or load,

- you do not know its full usage history,

- it is at least 10 years old and made of plastics or textiles,

- you have any doubt as to its integrity.

Destroy retired equipment to prevent further use.

Product obsolescence

There are many reasons why a product may be judged

obsolete and thus retired before the end of its actual

lifetime. Examples include: changes in applicable standards,

regulations, or legislation; development of new techniques,

incompatibility with other equipment, etc.

Modiﬁcations and repairs

Do not modify your product in any way unless the

modiﬁcation is speciﬁcally authorized by Petzl. An

unauthorized modiﬁcation can reduce the product’s

effectiveness.

Repairs made outside of Petzl facilities are prohibited. Contact

Petzl if your product needs repair.

Storage, transport

Dry your harness after use and store it in a bag.

Store it away from exposure to UV, moisture, chemical

products, etc.

Traceability and markings

Do not remove any markings or labels. You must check to

ensure that the product markings remain legible during the

entire lifetime of the product.

Guarantee

This product is guaranteed for 3 years against any

faults in materials or manufacture. Exclusions from the

guarantee: normal wear and tear, oxidation, modiﬁcations or

alterations, incorrect storage, poor maintenance, damage due

to accidents, to negligence, and to uses for which this product
