Nomenclature of parts

(1) Body, (2) Gate, (3) Hinge, (4) Locking sleeve, (5) Keylock,

(6) Keylock slot.

Principal materials: aluminum alloy.

Inspection, points to verify

Before each use

Make sure the body, gate, and locking sleeve are free of any

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

that it closes and locks itself automatically when released.

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

pebble, ice, etc.).

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.

Retire the equipment if it shows any sign of reduced strength

or impaired function. Destroy retired equipment to prevent

further use.

During each use

It is important to regularly inspect the condition of the

product and its connections with the other equipment in the

system. Make sure that the various pieces of equipment in the

system are correctly positioned with respect to each other.

Compatibility

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: the connector’s strength can be reduced if it is

attached to an element of the system that is too large (e.g.

wide webbing, large bars, etc.).

Contact Petzl if you are uncertain about the compatibility of

your equipment.

How to use this equipment

Diagram 1. Manipulation

Diagram 2. Installation

This connector must always be used with the gate closed and

locked. The strength of the connector is greatly reduced if the

gate is open.

Check the connector regularly to verify that it is securely

locked. Lock it manually if necessary. Contaminants such

as mud, sand, paint, ice, dirty water, etc. can prevent the

automatic locking system from working.

The carabiner is strongest when closed and loaded on

its major axis; any other position reduces its strength.

The carabiner must be able to move freely and without

interference; 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.

The locking sleeve can break and the gate can come

open, allowing the device or rope to 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

In accordance with the EN 362: 2004 standard, 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.

Sport

implement it in case of difﬁculties encountered while using

this equipment. This implies an adequate training in the

necessary rescue techniques.

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

of any potential fall.

- 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).

- You must check to ensure that the product markings remain

legible during the entire lifetime of the product.

- You must verify the suitability of this equipment for use

in your application with regard to applicable governmental

regulations and other standards on occupational safety.

General information

Lifetime

Maximum lifetime of Petzl products: 10 years, taking

into account the development of new techniques and the

compatibility of products with other products.

The lifetime is difﬁcult to predict without taking into account

the conditions of use. It depends on the intensity and

frequency of use, and on the environment where the product

is used.

To prolong the life of this product, take care when

transporting and using it. Avoid impacts, and rubbing against

abrasive surfaces or sharp edges, etc. (list not exhaustive).

Certain environmental factors will greatly accelerate wear:

salt, sand, snow, ice, moisture, chemicals, etc. (list not

exhaustive).

For your safety, in addition to following the «Inspection points

to verify before, during, and after each use», the equipment

must undergo an in-depth inspection by a competent

inspector.

This inspection must be performed at least once every

12 months.

The frequency of the in-depth inspection depends on the

frequency, intensity, and type of use of the equipment.

For better control of your equipment, we advise you to keep

an «inspection record» for each product.

It is preferable to issue new equipment to each user of PPE so

that he/she will be able to know its entire usage history.

WARNING, an exceptional event can reduce the lifetime of the

product to one single use. For example, the product is used

to arrest a major fall, there is a major impact on the product,

it is exposed to extreme temperatures, etc. The resulting

deterioration may not be visible on the product.
