Fig. 2: For orientation only. Not for high speed
or multi-rotation. See fig. 2. (A) Verify swivels
rotate freely. Swivel-type devices must NEVER
be used with steel cable or wire rope unless the
wire rope manufacturer verifies such use is ap-
proved and that the cable/rope will not unwind
when used with a swivel. (B) Verify spring pin is
in place and has not been removed. (C,D) Ensure
swivel axle has not loosened by checking axle
head with your fingers and making sure swivel
top does not move up or down.
MANDATORY CARABINER LOCKING PROCEDURE:
Serious accidents have resulted from unlocked
carabiners. Dirt, ice, etc. can jam a sleeve. Never
assume autolock carabiners lock on closing - al-
ways confirm!
You must understand how the sleeve works and
know what it looks like when it is locked and un-
locked.
You must faithfully do the following every time you
clip a locking carabiner:
1. Visually confirm the carabiner is locked.
2. Push in on the gate/sleeve to confirm by touch
that it is locked.
Do not allow ropes or objects to rub or twist the sle-
eve because this could unlock it. Vibration can also
unlock a sleeve. Regularly check that the carabiner

MANDATORY PULLEY LOCKING PROCEDURE:
The sideplate must be closed and locked with the
button fully extended, or strength will be greatly re-
duced and the rope may fall out with catastrophic
results. You must understand how the sideplate &
locking button work & must faithfully do the fol-
lowing every time you use it:
1. Visually confirm the sideplate is fully closed and
the locking button is fully extended.
2. Test the sideplate by attempting to rotate it to
confirm by touch that it is locked.
Do not allow anything to contact the button in
use. Regularly check that the sideplate is locked
and the pulley is positioned properly. If the pulley

USE
This PPE is intended to protect against falls from
height and conforms to EU regulation 2016/425.
Declaration of Conformity is available at www.roc-
kexotica.com.
Strength: In a single pulley, half the load is on one
side of the rope and half is on the other. The total
load on the pulley is thus 2x the mass that is being
raised or lowered. In a double pulley the total load is
4x the load on the 4 individual ropes. This is illustra-
ted on the pulley. Breaking Strength & Working
Load are based on this equal loading. If the side-
plate is not fully locked by the button, the strength
will be severely reduced, to about 10kN, but also,
the rope may fall out. Pulleys must be free to align
with the load, any restraint is dangerous.
Working Load Limit: Is based on about a 4:1 safety
factor. You must decide if that is sufficient in your
situation or if you need to adjust the WLL.
Sle-
Prusik Use - Caution! Prusiks must always have an
experienced person tending them. Never allow a
jammed Prusik to be pulled in between the sidepla-
tes. This can bend or break the pulley and allow the
rope to fall out! See fig. 5.
Breakage Hazard: Do not let an object in between
the sideplates and never rig your system so that the
pulley is forced against something that could break
or open the sideplate, allowing the rope to fall out.
DANGER! NEVER APPLY A BENDING FORCE TO
OMNI-BLOCK SWIVA BINER! Due to leverage, even
a small amount of weight can cause catastrophic
breakage. Never use when bending could occur!
See fig. 6.
To Open Sideplate: Depress the button & rotate si-
deplate counterclockwise (clockwise for the back
side of the double). It should stop at the 2nd button

Notified body which per-
detent. In this position the strength is severely redu-
ced, but the rope will not fall out as easily as it can
in the fully open position. To fully open, just depress
the button again & rotate.
To Close Sideplate: Rotate sideplate past the 2nd
detent to the fully closed position. Verify the button
extends fully through the hole & test that the side-
plate is really locked & secure. You should be able
to close it one-handed, but the components will last
longer if you depress the button a little to help it
when closing.
In Use: Do not allow anything to press button & ac-
cidentally unlock sideplate. Do not allow anything
to pry the sideplates apart, or opening or breakage
may occur.
Pinching Hazard: Rope travelling through a pulley
can suck in hair, fingers, clothing, etc., causing inju-
ry & jamming the pulley. Guard against this.
The Omni-Block SwivaBiner must only be used in
a straight pull. It must NEVER be subjected to a
bending force.
Intended Use: This Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) should only be used with energy absorbing
systems such as dynamic ropes, energy absorbers,
etc. & slack must be kept out of the system to pre-
vent high impact falls. It is intended for use by medi-
cally fit, specifically trained and experienced users.
Limitations On Use: It is impossible to imagine all
the ways this equipment can be misused. It must be
used only for the specific purpose it was designed
for; it must not be used for any other. Only loading
shown in the "OK" box is allowed. See fig. 7.
Loading & Force: Carabiners achieve full strength
only when loaded near the back of the frame.
Any other position reduces its strength. See fig. 8.
Strength will also be reduced by wide webbing or
clipping over large objects.
