to each other. Open the pouch with the
shock absorber and check the stitching.
If the seams are torn open (blue threads
visible), the via ferrata set must not be used.
Professional verification: Apart from regular
checks prior to and during use, the products
must be checked by a professional authority
at least once annually.
Operating instructions
Fix the via ferrata set via the attachment loop
to the belay loop on your climbing harness
with a cow hitch. see figure 4
Always clip both carabiners to the steel
cable. see figure 5
At the interim securing points of the cable,
first detach and reattach one carabiner and
lock it over the fixed point before detaching
the second carabiner. One of the carabiners
must always be attached to the cable.
CAUTION: Under
no circumstances should the carabiners be
clipped to any part of your harness (e.g. gear
loops, belay loop) or be clipped back into the
via ferrata set itself. In these positions the
shock absorbers become ineffective. see
figure 6 Both carabiners should be guided
continuously along the cable with your hand
as you move.
WARNING: danger of strangulation if
Y-lanyards get tangled and/or shock
absorber torn open.
PLEASE NOTE: The via ferrata set may only
be used only by persons weighing between
40 kg (body weight without equipment) and
120 kg (body weight including equipment). If
the person's weight is not within these limits,
it is necessary to use the AUSTRIALPIN
FERRATA. BLOC or to join a rope team.
ATTENTION: In case of a fall, i.e.
appropriate load, the shock absorber is
torn open and blue seam stitching becomes
visible. In addition, a red safety label with
perforation is integrated. see figure 13.
If this label is damaged, the via ferrata set
may no longer be used. A shock absorber
which has already been released – even
if only partially – is no longer capable of
absorbing the shock of an additional fall.
In this case, stop using the shock absorber
immediately.
AUSTRIALPIN COLT via ferrata carabiner:
The lock opens by moving the pressure
lever on the back side of the carabiner, then
pressing the gate inwards.
TIP: Hold the carabiner as close as possible
to the Y-lanyard in order to ease use of the
pressure lever and to protect your fingers
from the steel cable.
Special operating instructions for via ferrata
set AUSTRIALPIN HYDRA:
HYDRA is a combination of the via ferrata set
COLT and the FERRATA.BLOC as a third arm.
This YELLOW third arm with the FB clamp
is firmly fixed to the loop of the Y-lanyard
after the shock absorber with a cow hitch. If
the FB is not in use, it is stored in the shock
absorber pouch in the rubber loop provided
for this purpose. see figure 7
CAUTION: Carabiners must under no
circumstances be attached to supporting
spots of the climbing harness or be clipped
to the via ferrata set, since the shock
absorber thereby becomes ineffective.
The FERRATA.BLOC with the YELLOW
arm must under no circumstances be
detached from the HYDRA set or used for
any other purpose!
For use of the FB clamp, see section "Use of
FERRATA.BLOC"
FERRATA.BLOC as independent device
