stress on the lever, choose to use ANSI Z359.12 connectors that have greater lever strength (Fig. K11).
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
