Never push the trigger when there is no resistance against the inner tube. The explosive
release of the inner tube could injure someone and will eventually damage the BigBro.
Practice placing BigBros and testing their stability extensively on the ground before relying on
them in a climbing situation.
Do not forget to tighten the collar and test for stability before clipping the rope to a BigBro.
Always carry and store the BigBro in the compressed position to protect the threads.Keep
your BigBros out of the dirt whenever possible.
Inspect your BigBros and their cord before and after any use. Retire if there is any visible
damage.
Wash them in warm soapy water. Lubricate them with Elmer's "Slide-All" dry teflon lubricant.
Never use an oil-based lubricant or WD-40.
After extensive use the aluminum may become galled, resulting in sluggish BigBro action. If
cleaning does not improve the performance disassemble the BigBro and sand (use 600 grit
emery paper) the rough or worn areas on the threads and inside the outer tube. Wash them
and lube with Elmer's "Slide-All".
Spring
Collapse the BigBro and make sure the trigger is fully engaged. Remove the guide bolt with a
screwdriver.
CAUTION—THE BIGBRO IS NOW A LOADED WEAPON WITH NO SAFETY. THE INNER
TUBE IS A DANGEROUS PROJECTILE WHEN THE GUIDE BOLT IS REMOVED.
With your hands holding the ends of the BigBro together, carefully push the trigger.
Allow the BigBro to expand and pull the inner tube and spring out of the outer tube.
Put the spring in the outer tube and compress the inner tube until the trigger catches.
Place the guide nut in the slot and screw the guide bolt into it through the guide hole.
Tighten it securely.
Turn the bolt in the reverse direction to align the nut parallel to the
slot. Check to see the that the inner tube sliders freely.
