Art RopeGuide TwinLine Anleitung Seite 24

Every climbing action must be analysed critically in the case of special weather conditions
such as heavy rainfall, strong wind or approaching storms, and should be abandoned if
necessary.
Especialness:
The shock absorber (ZIP-Absorber) of a Ropeguide TwinLine reduces the shock-load of a
vertical fall (factor 1) of 1 meter with a weight of 100 kg to below 6 kN, also in using with
static ropes.
Caution
The shock absorption serves to increase passive safety and may under no account lead to
the assumption that it produces a guarantee of injury-free falls. For example, obstructions
in the fall area as well as an unfavourable body posture when the fall is intercepted may
precipitate considerable injuries.
Warning
No energy absorbing lanyard is released in the case of oscillating falls on a taut rope.
This device fundamentally serves personal protection only.
The attachment point (tree, part of a building, girder, scaffolding etc.) for the rope system
must demonstrate a minimum load capacity of 12 kN. Following professional ascension and
application of a correct short safety line the attachment device must be placed such that it is
permanently positioned above the climber. Climbing must also take place with a taut rope in
order to minimise the risk of free falls.
Contamination/storage
If soiled, all parts of this equipment can be cleaned at temperatures of up to 40° C using
water and a neutral soap. After washing all textile components (insofar as these exist) must
be carefully rinsed with clear water. This device should be hung up to dry in a shaded and
well ventilated place. The equipment may not be dried on heated surfaces such as radiators
or near a fire. Contamination of the metal parts from tree resin can best be removed by
rubbing with butter.
This device must not be exposed to any damaging influences like sources of heat above
55°C, fire, flying sparks, caustic substances, acids (car batteries and their fumes), fuels,
oils etc., during use, transportation or storage. Care must be taken that there is suitable
packaging during transportation (bag).
