Checking And Maintenance - CAMP SET FERRATA KINETIC Bedienungsanleitung

The product is intended for use to protect against the risk of falling from a height in the practice of via
ferrata climbing, limiting the force of impact transmitted to the user.
Use
This product is made to be used as an energy absorber in via ferrata systems by users with a total weight
between 40 kg (excluding equipment) and 120 kg (including equipment). The distance of a free fall must not be
Harness attachment: This product can be used with a full-body or sit harness. If the user is carrying a heavy rucksack,
the use of full-body harness is recommended. As an example only, we illustrate how to bind the attachment loop [2]
to a harness ( ), but we advise you to consult the usage instructions for your harness for precise instructions on
how the sling should pass through the point of juncture.
Attention: Incorrect passage of the sling can cause the harness to fail in the case of a fall.
Progression: Illustrations from 3 to 6 show the correct way to use this product.
WARNING: If one of the carabiners or one of the lanyards (
to the harness [2], the energy absorber [1] will not function: danger of death. Do not tie knots on the lanyard [4].
Do not insert your head between the two lanyards [4]: risk of strangulation.
During the progression, systematically check that the gate of the carabiners are securely locked. Respect the
indications for use of the carabiner. The case of the energy absorber [1] must remain closed. For users weighing
less than 40 kg (total weight excluding equipment) and more than 120 kg (total weight including equipment), we
recommend rope progression: in this case, it is necessary for the user to know the techniques of rope progression.
Falling: in the event of a fall, if the yellow warning label sewn on the webbing comes out of the case of the energy
absorber [1] and is visible (
ferrata safely, use another set or tie in with a roped party.
Carabiners: carabiners must be used as shown in chart A and
is shown in . Warning: certain situations may reduce the strength of the carabiners (

CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE

Check that the energy absorber [1]
During use, avoid contact of the sling with sharp edges to avoid the breaking strength decreasing or cuts. Humidity,
intense cold, exposure to UV rays, and the aging due to use can reduce the resistance of the sling.
A carabiner looses half of its resistance when the gate is open (see chart A). It is recommended to check that the
gate is properly working before use:
• if the gate [8] does not come back properly when closing. During the inspection, the gate [8] should be released
slowly in order to nullify the spring action.
• wrong or incomplete functioning of the gate closing system [8]. Never use a carabiner if it is just partially blocked.
The automatic closing must be carried out completely, without any external aid. In certain environments, contami-
nants (mud, sand, paint, ice, dirty water, etc.) can prevent the automatic locking system from working.
If one of the defects appears, after cleaning, oil the gate mechanism with a silicon based lubricant. Note: cleaning
and lubrication is recommended after every use in marine environment. If, after oiling, the defect persists, the
carabiner has to be put out of use.
