REPLACEMENT OF FRICTION HITCH CORD (VALDÔTAIN 4+4) AND SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
4) Install the second karabiner in the middle or top hole,
with the opening upward. Connect the eye termination
of the climbing line with the upper karabiner. Ensure the
constriction band on the eye termination is in close contact
with the load settling point of the karabiner. This is to en-
sure correct karabiner orientation (as specified by the kara-
biner manufacturer).

5) Before working at height, check that the grab function
of the friction hitch is reliable and that a controlled ascent
and descent is possible. Check that a small impact load is
effectively braked.
