Troubleshooting
Rope is difficult to feed through the device.
Ensure the rope is correctly threaded and that the carabiner is properly positioned. Also, make sure the rope diameter is compatible with the device.
The device locks up unexpectedly.
This is a normal function of the assisted braking. If it happens frequently, ensure the rope is running smoothly and that the belayer is managing the rope properly.
