The load capacities in Table 3 refer to the system configuration in Table 4. Example: a) Use of 19 KabuKlip release units each with 2 m connecting cable and 50 m control cable (from the control unit to the first KabuKlip release unit) permissible.
After fastening, the KabuKlip release units must be properly secured using the integrated steel safety clip.
