5. Sur les échelles, utiliser des enrouleurs antichute à rappel automatique (force de
rappel à régler selon poids du CLiC-iT). Il ne doit pas y avoir de mou possible entre l’anti
4. Make sure that all anchor points are magnetic. Use C-CONNECT V2 (Ref:
DAS170) for Tarzan jumps and automatic fall arrest.
6. On ladders, use 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. As general rule, for vertical
progressions use anchor points and belay systems recommended and certified by
CLiC-iT. For any other belay system, CLiC-iT cannot be held responsible in case of
accident.
7. When climbing and descending slopes, install C-STOP stops (Ref: DAS075)
to avoid a sudden descent.
8. Install C-OFF (Ref : DAS044) at the begining 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.

CAUTION:
Magnets contained in CLiT-iT products can cause malfunction of
the pacemaker.
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
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
Connector 21 :
1. Pull the trigger
2. Pull the connector until the barrel locks
3. Insert the recommended tool (Ref : DAS 226) on the left side of the cable
under the barrel and push the latch
4. Remove the tool (Ref: DAS226) while maintaining a pressure on the barrel
pushing it towards its opening
Connector 25 :
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 Checking the product
Each CLiC-iT karabiner includes 3 independent safety systems which need to be checked
before each use to ensure the reliability and 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 the stitchings of the lanyard as well as the proper functioning of the
connectors. In particular, it is important to check that :
1. Both connectors can’t be unlocked at the same time
2. For Ax1 version, the connectors can only hook onto a (magnetic) steel anchor point.
For Ax2 version, the connectors can only hook onto C-ZAM L+ ring.
3. It is impossible to unlock a connector without pressing the trigger.
4. Visually inspect the state of the seams of the absorber and the serial number.
4.6 Precaution of use
1. Caution: On "via ferrata" which have no cable loop, the connector directly bangs the
anchor. This stress on the connector may cause the product to break. The connection
between the lifeline and the anchor must be designed so as to minimize the misa
-
lignment of the load on the connector. Otherwise, belay with a rope while respecting
climbing techniques. (Refer to appendix A of standard EN16869 - 2017).
2. The various components of the lifeline must comply with European safety standards
(CE) and be used with full knowledge of their limits of use. The distance between two
anchor points must be a maximum of 3m in order to limit the fall to 5m maximum (see
sketch).
Caution :
When two anchor points are spread out more than 3m apart, the potential
fall height can be superior than 5m. The impact force may be too high and cause the
absorber to break.
3. The distance between two separate anchor points must be a maximum of 1m
(EN16869-2017).
4.6 Cleaning and lubrication of connectors
In order to remove dust inside the connectors (around the magnet and inside the mecha
-
nism), 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.
