Connection to the harness
Connection to the harness
Quicklink or Climbing sling.
For climbing slings with lark's head: reduce the length by a few centimetres (5cm).
Caution : It is forbidden to tie extra knots on the lanyard (and on the sling), as this would
reduce the resistance of the product. You must respect the usage pattern of the product.
All elements of the lifeline must be CE certified. You must only use a reinforced sling
supplied by SARL DEHONDT. The use of an EN566 standard sling is strictly forbidden.
If using a quick link, observe the tightening torques specified hereafter. For the MRNI07.0
link, tighten the nut to 2.5N.m or use threadlocking compound.

This product is available with two types of anchor detection:
1 : Magnet on connector (the connection is possible on a steel cable, on a CLiC'n'ZiP
and a C-ZAM L+ ring). Considered safety level D only if exclusively the safety line is in
magnetizable steel.
2 : Magnet on anchor (the connection is only possible on a CLiC'n'ZiP and a C-ZAM L+
ring)
1.3 Connector CLiC'n'ZiP
Connector equipped with an integrated pulley for zip-lines, connects only on magnetic
steel cables.

3.1 Fitting a connector
Each connector is fitted with an anchor point sensor system preventing it from being
hooked onto a device not made of steel (magnetisable).
1. Place the nose of the opened connector in front of a magnetisable anchor point. Wait
until the barrel is released; the detection system self-locks if you force it.
2. Push the connector into its locked position without forcing. When this connector is
locked, the other one can be opened.
3.2 Removing a connector
CLiC-iT is fitted with a mechanism preventing one connector from being unhooked if the

AVERTISSEMENT
other one is already unhooked.
1. Press the trigger of the locked connector with your index
2. Remove the connector while keeping the trigger pressed. The connector is open, it can
be hooked onto another anchor point.
3.3 Starting on a route
When starting on a route, check that one connector is open. If both connectors are
locked, place them both on a free cable end in a safe area, then follow instructions to
open 1 connector.
1. Lock the open connector on the lifeline.
2. Place the second connector on a free cable end, then open it by pressing the trigger.
3. Lock the connector on the lifeline. Make sure that the user connects well both connec-
tors on the lifeline at the beginning of the course.
3.4 Leaving a route
Procedure for releasing the connectors from the cable, to be performed only in a safe
area. Follow the safety instructions applicable to the area in question.
1. Unclick the connector 25 by pressing its trigger.
2. Click it on the free cable end (or on the way-out C-OFF reference DAS044). Pull it out of
the cable end without unclicking it. Finally unclick the connector CLiC'n'ZiP by pressing
its trigger.
3.5 Briefings
1. Place the connector 25 in front of the CLiC'n'ZiP pulley on ziplines in order to reduce
friction on the cable.
2. Let the users handle the CLiC-iT connectors on the ground (on a taut cable) before
starting the course.
3. Special recommendations for use on a zip line:
- Make sure the lanyards are not twisted before hooking onto the zip line cable.
- Make sure that the connector 25 and the CLiC'N'ZiP pulley are both connected to the
zip line cable before starting the ride.
- Sit in the harness before starting the zipline ride rather than jumping.
- Make sure no one is using the zip line and that the finish area is empty before starting
the ride.
- During the slide down, direct your gaze towards the finish line and put your feet forward
to cushion in the event of an obstacle on arrival.
- Do not place your hands on the cable during the slide down, hands can be safely placed
on the CLiC'N'ZiP handle.
3.6 Forbidden manoeuvres
Neglecting the basic operational rules may lead to a defect of the product causing
injuries to the user. If an operational defect occurs, the product should be checked imme-
diately following the CLiC-iT control procedure.
Contact the manufacturer in case of improper operation.
1, At the start of the route, make sure that both connectors are properly locked on the
Lifeline.
2, Don't try to force open the connectors or to manipulate the U hook by hand. Don't
place your hand between the cable and the connector.
3, Don't try to fit the connectors on the lanyard, the harness or a branch, a rope (which is
not an anchor point).
4, Don't lock the connector on a tool, a magnetisable object a magnet or on another
connector other than on the safety line. Tricking the product with tools,
or magnetizable metal objects is strictly prohibited.
5, Do not place your hands on the cable during zip line slide down.
6, Don't place your head between the lanyards, there is a risk of neck entrapment or
laryngeal trauma in case of fall. (cf 6.Caution)
7, Don't pull on the connectors or the lanyard during ziplining.
8, Don't drop or drag the connectors on the ground.
9, Don't hang on the lanyard sheath, this could damage the lanyard and the control
cables.
10, Don't twist the lanyard. If the lanyard is twisted and one of the connectors is stuck,
remove the other connector and untwist the lanyard. If 2 connectors are
stuck (several twists) : Pull the connectors apart and remove one of the connectors. To
ensure optimal durability of the product, we recommend never to exceed two twists.
11, Excessive spin of the central part of the lanyard may damage the control cables.
12, Don't bend the lanyard.
Points 9, 10 and/or 11 and/or 12 can lead to the failure of the synchronization function
and possibly lead to simultaneous opening of the two connectors.
13 Don't hit the connectors against each other or against an obstacle or on the cable.
14 Do not attempt to trick the connector with the magnet of a C-ZAM L+ ring or
C-CONNECT.
Points 13 and 14 can cause the closing of a U-hook out of the lifeline. This allows a
potential disconnection of the second connector of the lifeline.
