TRISKELION
USER MANUAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
TRISKELION AS A CHANGE OF
DIRECTION
To use the Triskelion as a change of direction:
•
Use the integrated pulleys in the Triskelion head
OR
•
Attach a pulley to an anchor point on the Triskelion
head.
The resultant force bisects the rope/cable coming into and
out of a pulley (Figure 17).
The resultant force (indicated by the dashed line) must be
kept within the triangle formed by the feet when there is no
stabilization rigging
‡
as it can topple the Triskelion.
This is achieved by keeping the haul line parallel with the
legs and inside of the Hobble Strap.
Safety / Belay / Backup Line omitted from Figures 18, 19
and 20 for clarity.
