CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE – GOBLIN
After cleaning, lubricate the pins of the moving parts with silicone-based lubricant.
Note: cleaning and lubrication are recommended after each use in a marine environment.
CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE - CARABINERS
A carabiner looses half of its resistance when the gate is open (see Tab.K): check the correct operation the lever
prior to use: The lever must return against the connector body when closed, the automatic locking device must close
fully with about external help. Mud, sand, pain, ice, dirty water and other agents can compromise the operation. Do
not use connectors with defective operation. If an operational defect appears, clean and lubricate the mechanism
with a silicon based lubricant. Clean and lubricate are recommended after each use in marine environments. If, after
oiling, the defect persists, the carabiner has to be put out of use
