Handling The Device - EDELRIDe Eddy Manual Del Usuario

ATTENTION – When the lead climber is belayed
directly by being clipped on the roped-up harness,
the belaying person must likewise be belayed by
suitable means in order to ensure that he/she
is not pulled away when intercepting the lead
climber's fall.

HANDLING THE DEVICE

Opening the device (fig. 5)
Press down the spring bolt fully.
Fig. 6: Then push open the moveable housing flank.
Push open the moveable housing flank fully.
Inserting the rope (fig. 7)
The rope running out to the lead climber runs out at
the axis on the flanks of the housing.
Pay attention to the identifier on the outside of the
moveable housing flank.
Fig. 8: Guide the rope completely around the braking
cam situated in the device. Make sure the rope runs
cleanly!
Fig. 9: Push back the moveable flank of the device.
Closing the device (fig. 10)
The device is only correctly closed once the spring
bolt has fully snapped back into place.
Check! If the device is closed correctly, the flanks
cannot be moved against one another.
Check whether the rope has been inserted in
accordance with the identifiers.
ATTENTION – there is no belay function if the rope
is inserted incorrectly!
Fig. 11: Clip on the karabiner at the eyelet provided
on the device. Only use screwgate karabiners. Make
sure that the screwgate is correctly closed.
Belaying the lead climber (fig. 12)
Hold the device between your thumb and your middle
finger and tilt it slightly to the side. At the same time,
grasp the rope which runs into it with the ring finger
and little finger of the same hand.
Letting out the rope (fig. 13)
By pressing the upper part of the brake cam lightly
with your index finger, the rope leading to the leader
can, where necessary, be let out very quickly with
your free hand. In the process, the rope continues to
run through two fingers of the hand which is holding
the device.
Since in the event of a fall a reflex-like clenching of
the fingers cannot be ruled out, the cam must be
released again and the rope running in clasped as
quickly as possible.
Pulling in, shortening the rope (fig. 14)
To do this, simply pull in the rope which was originally
fed in by hand. When the rope is pulled in, the
braking cam takes a neutral position and does not
need to be activated.
PULLING IN, TENSIONING
THE ROPE (fig. 15)
Pull in the rope tightly enough (tighten the rope) until
the rope tension causes the braking cam to snap into
