9.5. Installation of Self Belay key
10. Usage of the Self Belay
The Self Belay key is intended to be attached securely at a safe location where the user
connects and disconnects themselves from the device. The key features rectangular openings
for attachment by means of webbing, and a circular hole for a connector or other attachment
To attach:
•
Insert the quicklink in the opening of the Self Belay device. Push the quicklink all the way
down into the device; the locking discs of the device rotate as you push the quicklink.
•
When the quicklink is properly inserted, the Self Belay key can now be removed; pull it
away and release it.
•
Make sure that the device is properly locked; try removing the quicklink from the device
to verify that it is firmly secured in place.
•

key is around 800-900 mm (32-35 in.) from the floor. Adjust accordingly to accommodate
children.
It is strongly recommended to install protective flooring at locations where the
Self Belay is used, or provide means to prevent the key from being dropped on
the ground between uses. While the key by itself is sturdy enough to sustain such
damage, repeated drops from height may cause its unlocking features to bend or
break, causing downtime and unsafe operation.
Note that Self Belay keys showing signs of being dropped repeatedly during normal
usage of the device are not subject to warranty replacement.
