) must avoid detaching them several times in the same working day. The quick links are
used for connections that are not opened often, we recommend closing with a torque of 3 Nm for quick links with
a diameter of 8 mm and 7 Nm for those with the 10-12 mm diameter, partial closure of the nut must always be
avoided ( Fig. K5 ). For proper use and for connection to a reliable anchoring point with only one sub-system and to
other components in a fall protection system, see Fig. K6

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
