Black Diamond Camalot c3 Instrucciones De Uso página 5

placed over an edge,
inspect it afterward to
make sure the stem hasn't
been kinked. If for some
reason the plastic stem
tube on a Camalot C3 is
cut or torn, the unit may
not be usable. Inspect any
exposed cable for signs
of fraying and check the
"action" of the Camalot C3
to determine if a retract0r
wire is bent and/or needs to be replaced.
Your Camalot C3's wire loop can be damaged or deformed in a very hard
◆
fall. Inspect the cables for broken strands and retire if damaged.
A completely retracted Camalot C3 can be very difficult to remove. Leave
◆
room for the cams to retract a little further so your device can be retrieved.
BAD PLACEMENTS
Never position a Camalot C3 at the edge of a crack (illustration 9), it
◆
could slip out of the crack and fail to arrest a fall.
Never place a Camalot C3
◆
so that the cams are offset,
e.g. with one cam extended
and two cams retracted.
Illustration 10 shows a
Camalot C3 with the front pair
of cams well placed while the
back cam is too extended.
It may not hold a fall. In
illustration 11 the cam on the
right is too extended. This
placement may not hold a fall.
Do not place C3 Camalots in
◆
the "open" position as passive
protection (Illustration 12).
