Ropes should be tidy and aligned, with no overlapping at ALL times.

Ropes should not be overlapping other points. Risk of rope cutting when under heavy load.

Knots should not have loose spots in the knot. Easy to unravel.

Only 1 loop attached in each point at a time. Base knots must NEVER be untied.

Observe the different shapes. Knot of left is incorrect.

Intermediate points should rightly be a FIGURE-8 or ALPINE BUTTERFLY knot. Note the distinct shape of the number “8” in Figure-8 knot.

Other knots run the risk of unravelling and sudden drop of the apparatus during use.

Loops for the intermediate points should at least fit our four fingers/palm.

Do NOT use Single Loop knots as they can unravel due to tension and the inherent structure of the knot.

This loop here is too small and runs the risk of retracting and unravelling when this rope is loaded using one of the other points. The knot failure will be sudden and cause a sharp drop. It’s dangerous.

Adding 1 (only) carabiner to increase length slightly as a quick fix is ok. Please return to rack after use.

Sleeves are used to reduce hardware sound and wear down. Please ensure that locks are securely fastened and not obstructed by sleeves.
