Spiderjack 2.1 Warning!

[gustharts]

Morning Fellas,

 

Recieved an email this morning regarding the Spiderjack 2.1 that I thought I would bring to your attention.....

 

Dear ART-Dealer,

 

we have to inform you about a potential operating error with the Dyneema-Kit on the SpiderJack 2.1.

 

A climber had not clipped stainless steel ring of the Dyneema-Sling into his lower carabiner by mistake. That way he hang with half of his weight on the little screw (# 15 in the manual) which fixes the guiding flange (#16) of the dyneema-sling. Luckily the screw didn’t fail, the climber noticed that something was wrong when the flange became loose slowly.

The only duty of the guiding flange is to keep the dyneema-sling in place on the SpiderJack. The load has to be taken by the lower carabiner of course.

There is no danger when the Dyneema-Kit is used correctly, that is when the ring clipped into the climbers central carabiner!

Fair play to the guy reporting it. Just got my dyneema kit in the post. Will keep an eye on it.

if you get the 2.1 (which i would recommend) you,ll need a couple of krabs and a skinny rope....and maybe a pulley saver if you,re feeling rich...i,ll leave the cost to Gustharts...(worth every penny!)
