Please read these instructions thoroughly before
using this product and follow all the information con-
tained within. Failure to observe these instructions
can lead to a reduction in the protection this product
provides.
Please note: mountain climbing and indoor climbing
are high-risk sports which can involve unforesee-
able dangers. Your decisions and activities in this
sport are your own responsibility. Please familiarise
yourself with all associated risks before attempting
climbing of any sort. SALEWA recommends that
before attempting any climbing, you should obtain
training and advice from suitably qualified persons
(for example mountain guides or climbing teachers).
In addition it is the user's responsibility to keep
himself or herself informed of the correct techniques
for carrying out safe rescue operations. The manufac-
turer bears no liability in the case of any misuse or
abuse of this product. Also check for the appropriate
certification of all other pieces of equipment.
B INstRuCtIONs FOR use
The correct use is shown in diagram B.
WARNING: We have not shown all possible misuses.
„Class H" Carabiners can be used for various
types of belays. „Class K" Carabiners
developed for the specific needs of via ferratas. Each
Salewa carabiner is individually tested and complies
to the EN 12275 Norm.
You always have to make sure that the carabiner is
properly connected to the belay system and that any
external bodies, such as small stones, do not hinder
its correct closing.
WARNING: If employing a Twist Lock carabiner, do
not use the clove hitch knot to belay, under any
circumstances. This knot may, in fact, cause this type
of carabiner to open unwillingly, therefore leading to
possible falls.
C sAFetY INstRuCtIONs
Before use, carefully check each product part.
Diagram C
Double check all the components of this product for
wear marks, chips, bends and corrosion, and replace
if needed. Make sure that the gate closes properly.
Carabiners are manufactured so as to be loaded
lengthways. Every other direction of load will reduce
the supporting load. Especially avoid compressive
load and any other pressure on the gate.
You should take into account that the gate may open
during use due to inauspicious rope friction or vibra-
tions. Please double check regularly during use that
the carabiner is still properly locked.
The instructions for use supplied with the product are
always to be stored with the product. This product is
only to be used by appropriately trained and/or com-
petent persons, or when the user is under the direct
supervision of such a qualified person.
Make sure that compatible and certified components
are used. We recommend the sole employment of
mountaineering gear which complies to the relevant
norms, for instance EN 892 for ropes.

WARNING
·If there is the least doubt about the safety of the
product, it is to be replaced immediately.
·Any change to this product can reduce safety sig-
nificantly.
D LIFesPAN
The lifespan of the product is dependent on a number
of factors, such as the manner and frequency of use,
UV exposure, moisture, affects of weather, storage
conditions, and dirt (sand, salt, etc.). Under extreme
conditions the lifespan can be reduced to a single
usage or even less, if the equipment has suffered
damage (for example during transport) before ever
being used. Please note: Products manufactured from
synthetic fibres are subject to ageing even when not
used. This ageing depends mainly on environmental
conditions as well as the impact of UV light.
The potential lifespan of metal products is unlimited,
since the effective lifespan depends on the previ-
ously mentioned factors. Salewa recommends the
replacing of products after maximum ten years.
