INSTALLATION
Use the carabiner termination to attach a wire suspension to the ceiling material or invert the suspension to attach to the intended application.
- The first step of the installation process is to attach the wire support to the anchor point (ceiling).
- The second step in the installation process is to fit the Zip-Clip locking device and connect to the intended application
STEP 1
- Confirm the chosen anchor point is compatible with the carabiner.
- Fully open the snap gate of the carabiner.
- Pass the hook of the carabiner through the anchor point.
- Ensure the snap gate fully shuts once the carabiner has been installed.
Note:
- Ensure carabiner is loaded along the longest axis only.
- Carabiner and wire suspension must be loaded along same axis.
- Do not load the carabiner with the snap gate open.
- Do not allow a point load to be applied to snap gate.
STEP 2
- Pass the wire rope through the Zip-Clip device in the direction of the arrow.
- Pass wire rope through or around your required fixture/application and back through the Zip-Clip leaving 15 cm of wire protruding.
- Confirm engagement of the Zip-Clip on the wire by pushing the pin in the opposite direction to the arrows indicated.
