2. حفاظتی معلومات

Always prioritize safety. Read and understand all instructions before use. Improper use can lead to serious injury or death.

• Ensure the belay device is compatible with your rope diameter (8.9 mm - 11 mm).
• Always use a locking carabiner with the Jul 2. The Edelrid Bruce Steel Carabiner is recommended for optimal performance.
• Perform a thorough pre-climb check of all equipment, including the belay device, rope, and harness.
• Maintain constant control of the brake strand with your brake hand. Never let go of the rope.
• Regularly inspect the device for wear, cracks, or deformation. Discontinue use if any damage is found.
• Seek professional instruction for belaying techniques if you are new to climbing or using this device.

3. سیٹ اپ

Proper setup is critical for the safe operation of the Jul 2. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Rope Insertion: Insert the rope into the Jul 2 according to the figures shown on the device. The lead rope (climber's side) should pass through the main opening, and the brake rope should run over the nose of the device. Ensure the device's nose points away from your body.
2. کارابینر اٹیچمنٹ: Attach a locking carabiner through the Jul 2 and your belay loop. Ensure the carabiner gate is fully closed and locked.
3. سسٹم چیک: Double-check that the rope is correctly threaded, the carabiner is locked, and the belay device is securely attached to your harness.

4. آپریٹنگ ہدایات

The Jul 2 offers two primary methods for paying out rope to a lead climber: the Thumb Method and the Tuber Method. The Thumb Method is generally recommended for beginners due to its ease of learning.

4.1. Paying Out Rope (Lead Belaying)

Thumb Method:

• Insert the thumb of your brake hand into the thumb loop of the device.
• By lifting the device slightly with your thumb, the rope will release, allowing the lead rope hand to pull out slack.
• Always keep your brake hand closed on the brake rope during this procedure.

Tuber Method:

• This method is similar to belaying with a standard tube-style device.
• Use your brake hand to feed the rope into the device while your lead rope hand pulls the rope out.
• Note that paying out rope with the Tuber Method can be more challenging with certain rope conditions.

4.2. Taking In Slack

To take in slack, pull the lead rope upwards with your lead hand while simultaneously pulling the brake rope downwards with your brake hand. Ensure smooth, continuous motion to keep the rope taut.

4.3. Holding a Fall

In the event of a fall, the Jul 2's assisted braking mechanism will engage. Immediately pull your brake hand down and back, locking the rope. The device will jam the rope between itself and the carabiner, providing a secure hold. Maintain a firm grip on the brake rope until the climber is stable.

4.4 ایک کوہ پیما کو نیچے کرنا

To lower your partner, take both hands onto the brake rope. With one hand, lift the thumb loop of the Jul 2 to unlock the device. With the second hand, control the rate at which the rope feeds through the device, allowing for a smooth and controlled descent. Always maintain control of the brake rope.

5 دیکھ بھال

Proper maintenance extends the life of your Jul 2 and ensures its continued safe operation.

• صفائی: Clean the device with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
• معائنہ: Before and after each use, inspect the device for any signs of wear, corrosion, cracks, sharp edges, or deformation. Pay close attention to the rope channels and attachment points.
• ذخیرہ: Store the Jul 2 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it with sharp objects that could cause damage.
• سروس کی زندگی: The service life of the Jul 2 is dependent on usage, care, and storage. Discard the device if it shows significant wear, damage, or if there is any doubt about its integrity.

6 خرابیوں کا سراغ لگانا

If you encounter issues with your Jul 2, consider the following:

• Rope Not Feeding Smoothly:
  • Check rope diameter compatibility.
  • Ensure the rope is not twisted or kinked.
  • Verify correct rope insertion as per instructions.
  • New or stiff ropes may require more effort.
• Device Not Locking Properly:
  • Confirm correct rope insertion and carabiner attachment.
  • Ensure your brake hand maintains a firm grip on the brake strand.
  • Check for any obstructions in the rope path.
• Excessive Wear on Carabiner:
  • The steel construction of the Jul 2 can cause wear on aluminum carabiners over time. Consider using a steel carabiner, such as the Edelrid Bruce Steel Carabiner, to minimize wear.
