the fall height. The connection of the connector is indicated in the tab.K W DQG ƬJ K1 to K4. The user of
connectors with manual locking (ƬJ.) must avoid detaching them several times in the same working
day. For the proper use and for the connection to a reliable anchor point, and a sub-system and to other
fall protection systems, see )LJ .. Some situations can reduce the strength of the connector. Avoid
positioning situations that stress the connector lever ()LJ..); if it is not possible to avoid stresses on the lever,
choose to use ANSI Z359.12 connectors with greater lever resistance ()LJ.).
CHECKING AND MAINTENANCE – GOBLIN
After cleaning, 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

Check the legibility of the product’s markings. In case of one of the following defects are present, the product
should be withdrawn from service immediately:
• presence of permanent deformations on any component
• XQDXWKRULVHG PRGLƬFDWLRQ WR WKH SURGXFW ZHOGLQJ GULOOLQJ HWF
• malfunction of the locking lever, the action lever, the safety lever, the button
• burrs, sharp edges, wear on the surface of the rope in contact with the locking lever, the action lever, the stop

• deep corrosion that seriously alters the surface state of the metal (which does not disappear after a light rubbing
with emery paper)
• play or exit of the rivet from the gate of the carabiner
• incorrect placement of the gate on the carabiner body
• play or exit of the rotation axis of the gate

Any product or component showing any defect or wear, or if in doubt, should be withdrawn from service
immediately. Each product in the safety system can be damaged during a fall and must be always inspected before
use it again. Do not continue to use a product after a major fall because a damage may have occurred, even no
external signs are visible.
