. A flawlessly functioning braking device is guaranteed only in combination with a connector
with a locking system (screwlock or autolock) and a wide body (e.g. AUSTRIALPIN RONDO or OVALO).
Rope diameter and other characteristics of the rope change through usage of the rope. The brake effec-
tiveness is influenced by rope diameter and outer rope surface. Moisture, ice, wear-and-tear, dirt and
detritus, etc. can alter brake effectiveness as far as utter ineffectiveness of the system. Check and verify
the correct brake function before every use.
IMPORTANT: the free rope end must at all times be firmly held by the brake hand. These operating
instructions contain various areas of application. All other applications are not permitted.
Climate for use:
The ongoing temperature tolerance of the product (dry) is from about -10°C to +40°C.
Product life:
ATTENTION: unusual conditions can limit the product life of this tool to one usage, e.g. contact with
chemicals, extreme temperatures, saline/acid atmosphere, sharp edges, severe fall, very heavy burden.
The product life depends in large part on the manner and frequency of its use, together with external
influences. Maximum product life in optimum storage conditions and without use is 10 years. The
actual product life of the tool terminates when at least one of the following criteria are met (see point
“Divergence” below) and depends on a series of different factors: intensity of use, frequency of use,
environmental conditions during use, competence of user, storage conditions, maintenance, etc. The
recommended operating life amounts to:
- with intensive use (e.g. canyoning-guides): 1 year from first use
- with frequent use (several times monthly): 2 years from first use
- with use only seldom, up to 10 years from date of first use
Divergence:
In the following cases, the equipment should immediately be removed from active use:
- if the tool has been subject to strong, high burdens.
- the history of its use is unknown or incomplete.
- the product has cracks or fractures, deformations or signs of corrosion or strong abrasion.
- it has come into contact with chemicals or electricity.
- you have doubts about the reliability of the equipment.
- the product is too old (or legal requirements have changed, technical standards have been altered,
new rules are introduced, incompatibility with other products is determined, etc.).
Dispose and destroy the divergent, removed parts immediately in order to prevent any further use by
others.
Alterations and Repairs:
The equipment must not in any way which is not expressly recommended by the manufacturer be alte-
red or fitted out with additional parts.
Storage, Transport and Maintenance:
Store your equipment in a dry state in a dry place protected from daylight at normal environmental
temperatures (-10° to +30°C) without any mechanical squeeze-grips, pressure-grips or weighing down.
Store the equipment away from chemicals and not in acidic or saline atmosphere. This can change the
material characteristics without it ever becoming visible externally. Avoid ongoing vibrations. Use the
protective bag or special storage and transport containers with non-metallic bottoms (to prevent contact
corrosion).
Cleaning:
Clean dirty products in lukewarm water (if necessary using neutral soap). Rinse them well. At room
temperature, never place in an electric dryer or near electric radiators. Use only approved household
disinfection liquids not any containing halogen as needed. Instructions for other components of the
system: dirty ropes can immensely shorten the life of the device. Maintain your complete equipment in a
clean and dry state. Moisture, wetness, ice, dirt and other factors change the slipperiness of a rope and,
thereby, its braking qualities.
Guarantee:
For this product, a guarantee warrants against any and all material or manufacturing defects for a
period of 3 years. Excluded from this guarantee are the effects of normal wear-and-tear, oxidation,
alterations, improper usage or storage or maintenance, as well as damages resulting from accidents,

In combined use of this product with other component parts, the danger of impeding their safety
through conflicting parts can arise. Please make sure of the compatibility of the parts. Combined
employment requires for personal safety (PPE) coupling only with CE-authorized components of tools
to shield against falls from great heights. Unforeseen dangers can occur if equipment parts are wrongly
combined and do not suit each other, in which case the safe functioning of a given part is no longer
guaranteed. Please heed the specific operating instructions for each specific product. Use ropes with
permissible diameters only
see chart 1.
ADVICE: for belaying lead climber use dynamic ropes according
to EN 982 only. For abseiling (rappeling) static ropes according to EN 1981 are permissible.
Attention:Ordinary commercial rope diameters have permissible deviations of +/- 0.2 mm. The flawless
functioning of AUSTRIALPIN NEMO is guaranteed only in combination with an AUSTRIALPIN CORE.DY 6
mm cord (rope)!
Things to check during and following each use of the tool:
Please make quite sure that the product has no cracks or fractures, deformations or signs of corrosion.
Check and verify the correct brake function and rope issue before use with the rope which will be used.
Make sure that all component parts are correctly attached/connected with each other. Make certain
that the rope issue and positioning of the carabiner are correct. Pay special attention to the carabiner’s
perfect locking.
