the full opening of the cam (B).
In conditions of absolute safety, make sure that this device slides in the right
direction (upwards) and locks in the other direction (downwards) before using
it.

recommended to insert a proper connector into the hole (E) or (F) and make
the rope pass through it.
Fig. 3 –Above the attachment point – This device must always be above the
attachment point of the harness.
Fig. 4 – Unblocking – To unblock this device pull the cam (B) after unloading.
Fig. 5 – Wrong move! - The rope clamp can slip down towards the bottom.
