Operator. Details of replacement parts may be found in the Replacement Parts section of the Operator Manual. The TRUBLUE iQ+ Auto Belay MUST be installed with the flat plastic cover facing the climbing/descent wall. The TRUBLUE iQ+ Brake Module MUST face away from the climbing/descent wall.
Page 16 The TRUBLUE iQ+ Auto Belay has a plastic mounting insert which is inserted through the primary mount attachment point. The mounting connector or carabiner should always be used with the plastic mounting insert during installation. This plastic mounting insert is designed to protect the aluminum mounting point from deformation due to swinging and movement of the Auto Belay during use.
Page 17 DEVICE ORIENTATION Always mount the TRUBLUE iQ+ Auto Belay with the covers parallel to the face of the climbing wall. Mounting in this direction will allow the TRUBLUE iQ+ Auto Belay to swing laterally and minimize the wear on the webbing line, Nozzle assembly and mounting points.
