Field of application

Pulley with integrated connector for tyroleans. TRAC pulley for

standard tyroleans. TRACPLUS pulley for long tyroleans.

This equipment is personal protective equipment.

This product must not be loaded beyond its strength rating, nor be

used for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.

Warning, the installation and use of a tyrolean traverse requires the

abilities of an expert. A cable tyrolean creates much greater stress on

anchor points than a rope tyrolean.

WARNING

Activities involving the use of this equipment are inherently

dangerous.

You are responsible for your own actions and decisions.

Before using this equipment, you must:

- Read and understand all instructions for use.

- Get speciﬁc training in its proper use.

- Become acquainted with its capabilities and limitations.

- Understand and accept the risks involved.

Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in severe

injury or death.

Responsibility

WARNING, speciﬁc training in the activities deﬁned in the ﬁeld of

application is essential before use.

This product must only be used by competent and responsible

persons, or those placed under the direct and visual control of a

competent and responsible person.

Gaining an adequate apprenticeship in appropriate techniques and

methods of protection is your own responsibility.

You personally assume all risks and responsibilities for all damage,

injury or death which may occur during or following incorrect use of

our products in any manner whatsoever. If you are not able, or not

in a position to assume this responsibility or to take this risk, do not

use this equipment.

sleeve).

Inspection, points to verify

Before each use

On the pulley, verify that the sheaves turn freely. Verify the condition

of the ﬁxed side plates, sheave grooves and axles.

On the carabiner, verify that the frame, gate, hinge, and locking

sleeve are free of any cracks, deformation, or corrosion. Open the

gate and verify that it closes and locks itself automatically when

released. The Keylock slot must not be blocked by any foreign matter

(dirt, pebble,etc.).

Consult the details of the inspection procedure to be carried out for

each item of PPE on the Web at www.petzl.com/ppe

During each use

It is important to regularly inspect the condition of the product.

Make sure that all pieces of equipment are properly connected and

positioned with respect to each other.

Contact PETZL if there is any doubt about the condition of this

product.

Compatibility

Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the

system in your application (compatible= good functional interaction).

Usage on cable, or rope, from 9 to 13mm in diameter.

Attaching a lanyard to the pulley

A- Remove the positioning cover with a screwdriver.

B- Remove the VERTIGOWL carabiner from the pulley. Attach a

lanyard to the VERTIGOWL.

Take care to make the carabiner directional, so that it is loaded

correctly (on the major axis), using a STRING, for example.

C- Re-attach the carabiner to the pulley.

D- Replace the positioning cover. Make sure that the cover is

correctly attached.

Installation on the tyrolean

A- Clip the carabiner-pulley unit onto the tyrolean cable or rope.

Warning :Make sure that the tyrolean cable or rope does not get

jammed between the carabiner and the side plate (more likely with

a rope).

B- Clip your lanyards’ other carabiners onto the cable or rope and

position them on the carabiner support areas.

Before starting, verify that the carabiner gate is closed and locked.

Before putting your weight onto the pulley, make sure it is correctly

positioned with the rope or cable in the grooves of both sheaves. Put

your weight onto the tyrolean, without jumping, to avoid any risk of

poor positioning of the pulley and carabiner on the tyrolean.

Attention, the carabiner must always be used with the gate closed

and locked. Nothing must obstruct the connector. Any constraint or

external pressure will reduce its strength.

Take care to avoid getting ﬁngers or hair caught between the pulley

and the cable.

Warning, when the TRAC/TRACPLUS pulley is not in use, attach it to

an equipment loop on the harness. A pulley hanging on the end of a

lanyard can be dangerous (e.g. risk of hitting the eyes).

Tyrolean precautions

- When installing your tyrolean, be sure to do some preliminary

adjustment tests (tyrolean tension, slope,etc.) with different weights,

to verify the compatibility of the pulley with your installation.

- Warning, the TRAC pulley’s ball bearings make it capable of

reaching higher speeds than those of the TRACPLUS. A tyrolean

designed to work with the TRACPLUS must not be used with a TRAC

(or TANDEMSPEED).

- We recommend a maximum speed of 20m/s. Warning, a collision

with an obstacle can result in serious injuries.

- At the end of the tyrolean, be sure to install an absorption system

for the safety of the user, and to avoid damaging your pulley.

Maintenance

- For intensive use (e.g. in an AdventurePark), be sure to regularly

lubricate the moving parts of the carabiner (hinge, spring and locking

sleeve) with a drop of oil.

Do not use penetrating oil. Do not lubricate the pulley’s sealed

bearings as this can have the harmful effect of retaining dust and dirt.

- The maximum acceptable wear on the carabiner frame is 2mm,

where it contacts the pulley. Retire any carabiner with excessive wear.
