2. FIELD OF APPLICATION
Introduction
CAPTO is an intuitive device that reduces the time
and equipment required for hauling, ascending, and
related tasks. Featuring an integrated rope grab,
pulley, and becket, CAPTO allows rapid rigging of
mechanical advantage systems without the need to
use prusiks or attach multiple components.
CAPTO's innovative V-groove Cam is intended to hold
a 2-person rescue load without damaging the rope.
Unlike toothed devices, the V-groove Cam is uniquely
designed to dissipate energy in overload situations by
slipping on the rope. Visit CMC's website for data on
CAPTO slip performance across a range of industry
ropes in multiple hauling configurations.
The V-groove Cam installs quickly and easily on
tensioned and un-tensioned lines. It smoothly
releases, even after a slip event, running up the rope
with minimal friction and engaging again with ease.
An accessory loop can be installed in CAPTO's
hollow Cam axle to allow remote resets of mechanical
advantage systems and ergonomic stowage on a
harness or gear rack.
Built into CAPTO chassis is a high-efficiency needle
roller bearing pulley with an integrated becket. Both
28
the Cam and pulley are immediately accessible
when the Sideplate is open, making it possible to
rig 3:1 haul systems in a single motion. Rope can
be installed and removed without detaching from
the becket. As an independent attachment point, the
becket is ideal for connecting mechanical advantage
components or personal ascent equipment such as
lanyards, retention systems, etriers, and foot loops.
Applications
The CAPTO shall not be used outside of its limitations,
or for any purpose other than that for which it is
intended.
This equipment meets the requirements of NFPA
2500 when used as an ascender and as a pulley.
It is designed for use in fall prevention during work
and rescue.
When used as an ascender, the CAPTO can be
used for work positioning and for travel restriction
(restraint). The CAPTO will grab when loaded in one
direction and move freely in the opposite direction
when attached to a rope of an appropriate diameter.
When used as a pulley, the device can be used to
link a rope or an accessory cord to a connector to
reduce the friction while the rope or accessory cord is
moving under load.

Responsibility
These instructions explain the correct use of your
equipment. The warning symbols inform you of
some potential dangers related to the use of your
equipment, but it is impossible to describe them
all. You are responsible heeding each warning and
using your equipment correctly. Any misuse of this
equipment will create additional dangers. This product
shall only be used by a person that is trained and
competent in its safe use.
Contact CMC if you have any questions or difficulty
understanding these instructions. Check cmcpro.com
for updates and additional information.
User Information shall be provided to the user of
the product. NFPA 1983, incorporated into the 2022
edition of NFPA 2500 recommends separating the
User Information from the equipment and retaining the
information in a permanent record. The standard also
recommends making a copy of the User Information
to keep with the equipment and that the information
should be referred to before and after each use.
Additional information regarding life safety equipment
can be found in NFPA 1500, and NFPA 1858 and
NFPA 1983, incorporated in the 2022 edition of NFPA
2500. This document must be provided to the user by
the retailer in the respective country's language and
must be kept with the equipment while it is in use.
Observe relevant national regulations.
Before using this equipment, you must have a rescue
plan in place to deal with any emergencies that could
arise and be medically fit and capable of controlling
your own security and emergency situations. Check
equipment before and after use. No alterations or
additions to the equipment shall be made without

CMCPRO.COM
the manufacturer's written consent. The user must
ensure that, in the event of falling into the PPE sys-
tem, rescue can take place immediately, effectively,
and safely. Motionless suspension in a harness may
cause severe injury or death.
While the CAPTO is intended to slip in overload
situations, unforeseen or untested scenarios, envi-
ronmental conditions, or other factors could prevent
slippage. In these cases the total applied loads should
not exceed 2500 lbf (11kN) to prevent damage to
the CAPTO, rope or other system components. CMC
recommends the use of an Enforcer Load Cell or other
load-sensing device in training scenarios to better
understand these limits.

4. INSPECTION, POINTS TO
VERIFY
Inspection
User safety depends on equipment integrity.
Equipment should be thoroughly inspected prior
to being placed into service and before and after
each use. In addition, a detailed periodic inspection,
by a competent person, is required at least every
12 months (depending on current regulations, and
conditions of use). Follow the inspection procedures
available at cmcpro.com. Record and store the results
of the inspection in the Inspection Checklist. If the
equipment fails inspection, it should be withdrawn
from service and marked accordingly or destroyed to
prevent further use.
Before & After Each Use
Perform the checks listed below to ensure that the
equipment is in serviceable condition and operates
normally before it is used:
• Confirm the device is functioning properly.
• Verify the presence and legibility of the product
markings.
• Verify there is no excessive wear or indications of
damage such as deformation, corrosion, sharp
edges, cracks, or burrs. Minor nicks or sharp spots
may be smoothed with emery cloth.
• Check for the presence of dirt or foreign objects
that can affect or prevent normal operation such as
grit, sand, rocks, and debris.
• Check the Side Plate for deformation or
excessive play.
• Check the movement of the Cam and the effective-
ness of its spring.
• Check the Cam grooves for excessive wear.
• Confirm the pulley is functional and freely rotates
around its axis.
