due to the impact of the recoiling spring.
Corrective Procedure: In such a case, just press the wire rope inside the block, pressing it against the
spring in the upward direction till a "click" sound is heard (see fig.) or alternatively. The user can
gently tap the block with his fist, or shake it up slightly, till the "click" sound of release of the brakes is
heard. The lanyard can now reeled out freely, and is ready to be use again.
