lubricate the pins of the moving parts with silicone-based lubricant. Note: cleaning and lubrication are recommended
after each use in a marine environment.
CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE - CARABINERS
A carabiner looses half of its resistance when the gate is open (see Tab.K): check the correct operation the lever prior
to use: The lever must return against the connector body when closed, the automatic locking device must close fully
with about external help. Mud, sand, pain, ice, dirty water and other agents can compromise the operation. Do not
use connectors with defective operation. If an operational defect appears, clean and lubricate the mechanism with a
silicon based lubricant. Clean and lubricate are recommended after each use in marine environments. If, after oiling,
the defect persists, the carabiner has to be put out of use
