! PRODUCT WARNING ! Spiderjack 2.1 Dyneema
We have been informed 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 has hung 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!
Before climbing make sure that the ring of the Dyneema-Kit is clipped in !
