10
- suspended, the centre point of the lanyard must be below the neck. (cf 6.Caution)
OR
- standing, the centre point of the lanyard must be higher than the neck. (cf 6.Caution)
3. Install C-ZAM L+ (Ref: DAS148) rings to ease the connection onto the lifeline.
4. The maximum authorized zip line length is 400 meters.
5. Make sure that all anchor points are magnetic. Use C-CONNECT CLiC'N'ZiP (Ref:
DAS184) for Tarzan jumps and automatic fall arrest.
6. On ladders, use C-UP (Ref: DAS193) + C-ABS (Ref: DAS192) or fall arrest systems
(adjust according to weight of the CLiC-iT). There should be no slack between the
self-retracting fall arrest system and the lanyard when arriving at the platform to avoid a
free fall.
7. For free falls (QuickJump, Tarzan jumps…), use a third anchor point to connect directly
to the harness attachment point in addition to the C-CONNECT CLiC'N'ZiP. This ensures
a redundancy/margin of safety and helps to avoid putting the lanyards in tension during
jump and thus protect lanyards and control cables from premature wear.
8. At the end of the zip lines, install stops to avoid a sudden descent. The maximum
allowed diameter of the central part of the stopper is 16mm.
9. Install C-OFF (Ref: DAS044) at the beginning and at the end of the courses, only in an
area out of danger of falling. Free cable ends need to be protected by a plastic cap to
avoid injuring the user.
10. In order to facilitate movement between two activities, fit a safety rope around the
trees or poles.
11. CAUTION: Magnets contained in CLiT-iT products can cause malfunction of the
pacemaker.
12. When used on an inclined lifeline, the presence of an integrated pulley increases the
risk of a rapid fall.
For activities with vertical progression or with an inclined lifeline we recommend the
installation of a fall arrest system, in accordance with the construction standard for
parks EN 15567-1.
4.2 Storage
Store and transport in a cool and dry place, away from direct light. Avoid unnecessary
exposure to UV light. Store and transport without any mechanical constraints. Store ma
-
terial vertically to remove humidity from the cables of the lanyard. For optimal storage of
CLiC-iT lanyard, we recommend using C-RACK (Ref.: DAS280).
The storage of the lanyard under stress (folded and loaded textile part) causes pre
-
mature wear of the control cables, which can lead to an increase of the risk of double
opening.
4.3 Evacuation in case of emergency
Use a C-ZAM Rescue: Unlock one of the connectors. Using the magnetic ring of the
C-ZAM Rescue, close this connector. Then unlock the second connector from the lifeline.
Supply the operators with C-ZAM Rescue (Ref : DAS194) to unhook a user from the
lifeline in case of emergency.
4.4 Unlocking the CLiC-iT system
1. Pull the trigger
2. Pull the connector until the barrel locks
3. Unlock according to variant 1 or 2
Variant 1: Insert the recommended tool (Ref : DAS 226) diagonally in the slot at the red
circle on the image and press while maintaining a pressure on the barrel by pushing it
towards its opening
Variant 2: Insert the recommended tool (Ref : DAS 226) in the slot and push it down while
maintaining a pressure on the barrel by pushing it towards its opening
4. Remove the tool (Ref: DAS226) while maintaining a pressure on the barrel pushing it
towards its opening
4.5 Product inspection
Each CLiC-iT karabiner includes 3 independent safety systems which need to be checked
before each use to ensure reliability and the safety of its users. In order to avoid any
unclipping from the lifeline, due to a mechanical malfunction of the belay system, it
is essential to conduct a daily check of the equipment. Before each use, inspect the
general condition of the lanyards and connectors as well as the proper functioning of the
connectors. Inspect the seams of the lanyard, as well as the state of the seams between
the swivel and the lanyard.
Inspect the CLiC-iT swivel according to its instructions for use.
In particular, it is important to check that:
1. Both connectors can’t be unlocked at the same time
2. For Ax1 version, the connector 25 can only hook onto a (magnetic) steel anchor point.
For Ax2 version, the connector 25 can only hook onto C-ZAM L+ ring. The CLiC’N’ZiP
connector can only anchor onto a magnetisable safety line Ø 10mm minimum to Ø
12.7mm maximum.
3. It is impossible to unlock a connector without pressing the trigger.
4. Check the two pulley connecting pins and the two wheel axle nuts. In the event of a
loose or missing pin, or in the event of a loose or missing nut, do not use the product and
contact SARL DEHONDT.
4.6 Cleaning and lubrification of connectors
In order to remove dust inside the connectors (around the magnet and inside the
mechanism), use an air gun (maximum pressure: 6 bars). To ensure a smooth operation
without seizing and to protect the system from humidity, spray BALLISTOL and WD40
lubricant inside the mechanism.
To prevent dust accumulation around the magnet, spray silicone into the area of the
toggle.
