PREPARING TO CLIMB
Loading & Function Test
I. Place the Akimbo with the rope passing vertically
through the device, with the arms positioned to hold
its location on the rope. Connect to the Akimbo using
a suitable triple action oval connector.
Always tie a stopper knot on the climbing end of the
line to prevent the Akimbo from inadvertently coming
off the rope.

Akimbo User Instructions
J. From a safe height, place increasing amounts of body
weight onto the Akimbo, including a "bounce" on the
device. If the Akimbo slips along the rope, refer to
page 9 for instructions on increasing the friction
settings before proceeding.
– Friction settings other than described may
result in the Akimbo not catching in the event
of a fall.
– Perform all friction tests with the Akimbo
from a safe height, in a no-risk environment
before working at height.
