To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep
cords out of the reach of young children. Cords
may become wrapped around a child’s neck.
Move beds, cots and furniture away from window
covering cords. Do not tie cords together, make
sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
Installing this device reduces the hazards of
strangulation or entanglement as the Wheel and
Chain will release from the Gear Housing to meet
the 6kg testing requirement. Using this device
removes the need for wall fixed chain tension
devices and allows chains to be fitted 60cm from
the ground. The use of this and other child safe
devices help reduce the risk of strangulation, but
vigilance is always required.

WARNING
Young Children can be strangled by loops in pull cords,
chains, tapes and inner cords that operate the product.
Make sure you wrap the operating chain round
the Safe-Release wheel (
fig
1
) before you insert
into the chain housing. Then squeeze the spring
side of the wheel (
fig
2
) and push the wheel &
chain into the slot – with the spring wheel facing
towards the mechanism (
fig
). When fully
inserted the pivot lock can be closed (
fig
).
If not inserted already, the housing simply
slides into the headrail as shown above (
fig
)
NOTE: Make sure that the Axle Bar connection
screw is positioned correctly and the tab lock
is open. When fully inserted and flush with the
headrail twist the tab lock to secure (
fig
) and
fix the Axle Bar via the screw from below (
fig
).
