These shackles are designed for carriage driving, enabling quick and secure attachment and detachment of horse harness traces to the carriage's swingle tree, used during training and competition.
They are designed for standard carriage driving applications. Users should verify the dimensions of the shackle and their carriage's attachment points to ensure compatibility.
Attach by aligning the shackle to the swingle tree and inserting the pin. Pass the trace through the hook and engage the quick-release lock. Detach by operating the quick-release mechanism on the hook.
The shackles are made from stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor use and ensuring durability.
Each shackle has a breaking load of 1662KG, indicating its high strength and suitability for demanding equestrian use.
Clean with a damp cloth regularly, avoiding abrasive cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly after use, especially in damp conditions, to maintain the polished finish and prevent water spots.
The dimensions are: A - 125.5MM, B - 28.5MM, C - 22MM, D - 20MM, E - 9.5MM.
These particular shackles are sold as a pack of two.
Ensure the shackle and pin are clean and free of debris. Check for any minor deformation on the pin or in the mounting holes. A light application of lubricant might help, but avoid over-lubrication that can attract dirt.
Inspect the hook mechanism for any obstructions or buildup of dirt. Clean the mechanism thoroughly and test its movement. If stiffness persists, a small amount of marine-grade lubricant may be applied to the pivot point.
While stainless steel is resistant, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or salt can cause surface staining. Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse and dry completely. Ensure regular cleaning and drying after use.
Examine the locking parts of the hook for wear or damage. Ensure the trace is correctly positioned within the hook before engaging the lock. If the locking mechanism appears damaged, the shackle should not be used.
Setup: To install the SecureFix Direct Quick Release Safety Shackles, align the shackle with the attachment point on your carriage's swingle tree. Insert the removable pin through the designated holes to secure the shackle. Then, pass the carriage trace through the quick-release hook and engage the locking mechanism.
Compatibility: These shackles are designed for standard carriage driving applications. It is essential to measure the dimensions of your carriage's swingle tree and trace attachment points to ensure a proper fit. The shackle's dimensions (A-125.5MM, B-28.5MM, C-22MM, D-20MM, E-9.5MM) should be compared with your existing hardware.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the stainless steel shackles, clean them regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the polished finish. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying. Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent water spots.
