In certain work situations, it is necessary to secure all tools and equipment to prevent them from being dropped.
It is possible to attach the ASAP to the OK TRIACT carabiner, using a keeper cord. Warning: using a keeper cord
makes handling the device more difficult, while increasing potential hazards and possibilities of misuse.
Installing the keeper cord
Tie one end of the keeper cord to the lower hole of the ASAP (identified as n° 7 in the "Nomenclature" section of
the Instructions for use). The knot of the keeper cord must be tied as close as possible to the device to keep the
size of the loop to a minimum.
Make a loop at the other end of the cord and connect it to the OK TRIACT carabiner. The loop must be tightened
on the carabiner frame so that it stays in place close to the ASAP attachment holes.
The cord must be short: once in place, it should be no longer than 11 cm. An elastic cord may be used to make
handling easier, provided it is no longer than 11 cm when unstretched.
When attaching the ASAP to the rope, run the keeper cord along the backside of the device (the side opposite the
toothed wheel). Once the OK TRIACT carabiner is connected to the ASAP, the keeper cord must not be able to
reach the toothed wheel.
WARNING, DANGER:
- If the keeper cord is longer than 11 cm when tied to the device
- If the keeper cord is on the wheel side of the ASAP, there's a risk that the
keeper cord may get jammed in the toothed wheel, causing the ASAP to
malfunction
WARNING, when using the ASAP, the OK TRIACT carabiner must be
clipped through the 2 attachment holes and the rope must run inside the
carabiner, IF NOT, DANGER OF DEATH.
