OPERATION: General procedures for using the Cabloc System are as follows:
WarnIng: Before each use, carefully inspect Cabloc System per instructions below and don a full body harness. The harness
must be examined before each occasion of use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The harness should be properly
adjusted to a snug fit and should not be used if loose. (Table 1).
Step 7. Pre Use checks - The System: Before each use, carefully inspect Cabloc System
1) Check that there are no obvious signs of damage to the system, such as breaks, kinks or excessive sag in the cable
or damaged brackets.
2) Check that the disk attached to the tensioner is free to turn. For system with the bottom anchor ring check that the
groove is visible on the bottom anchor.
3) Always verify the free space required beneath the user to ensure there will be no collision with the ground or other
obstacle in the fall path.
4) Check the system label for the maximum number of users and that the systems certification is valid.
Step 8. Pre Use checks - Traveller: Before each use, carefully inspect the traveller
1) Check that the spring is functioning by lifting the cam arms and letting go, the cam arms should spring back.
2) Check the rivet and rivet nuts for signs of damage.
3) Check the gate of the carabiner opens, closes and locks.
4) Check for cuts, abrasions and fraying.
5) Check that there is no visible damage to the connection between the integral energy absorber and Cabloc traveller
and the integral energy absorber and karabiner.
6) Check that the energy absorber element is intact, in good condition and has not been deployed.
Step 9. Attaching to the system - Cabloc Traveller:

6) Push the gate of the carabiner upwards, twist clockwise and then open. Pass the attachment point of your harness
through the gate and let go. The karabiner will lock automatically.

functionally of the traveller and in the event of a fall will increase the free fall distance and the loading to the system and the
user.
