8. Magnetic Units • TRUBLUE is designed specifically for the climbing industry, the TRUBLUE self-regulating braking system is the result of over four years of research, development and testing. • The TRUBLUE auto belay is the only auto belay device that meets the same safety standards as other climbing gear. • American National Standard ANSI/ASSE Z359.4-2007 • Canadian Standard, CSA Z259.2.3-99 Australian/New Zealand Standard, AS/NZS 1891.3 • European Union Directive BS EN 341 • CAN BE USED FOR: • 41’ Vertical belay line • Traversing Elements (cat walk, vine walk, etc.) • Zip Line Breaks • TRUBLUE - $1,995

9. Fall Protection • ANSI • Non-Certified | Certified • Fall Arrest Systems 5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN) | 2 X maximum arresting force • Work Positioning Systems 3,000 lbs. (13.3 kN) 2 X foreseeable force • Restraint & Travel Systems 1,000 lbs. (4.5 kN) 2 X foreseeable force • Rescue Systems 3,000 lbs. (13.3 kN) 5 X applied load • All fall protection equipment and anchorages must be inspected at the beginning of each eight-hour shift by an authorized person and at least once per year (or more frequently if required by manufacturer) by a competent person or a competent rescuer as appropriate to verify equipment is safe for use. • Written or electronic records of inspection should be kept on file for service life of product. • ASTM F-24 • Specifically, within the scope of the F – 24 standard referred to (F-1159), the only mention of anything related to a climbing wall, is: • a.) For design purposes, the weight assigned to a “passenger” shall be 170 lbs., and: • b.) That any required fall protection for such rides, shall meet the minimum design requirements specified in OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926.502 (d) – Personal Fall Arrest Systems. • OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926.502 (d), • 1926.502 (d) (9): States that Lanyards and vertical lifelines shall have a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs. • 1926.502 (d) (12): States that self retracting lifelines which automatically limit free fall to 2 ft or less, shall be capable of sustaining a minimum tensile load of 3,000 lbs. • CE 341, AS/NZS, CSA • The static load required in the CE 341, AS/NZS, and CSA are roughly 12 kN (or 2,697 lbs). The dynamic load is much greater, but is dependant upon the how the catch mechanism works

13. Extreme Engineering TROUBLE SHOOTING Cable does not retract at all or not all the way to the top of the wall. Not enough air pressure in air/oil tank. Pressurize the tank. Reference the maintenance section for proper pressure setting. Something is interfering with cable travel. Verify cable does not touch anything but pulleys and all pulleys rotate freely. If the cable is rubbing on something, remove the obstruction. Something is blocking one or both check valves. Replace the check valves. Climbers can climb up the wall quicker than the cable retracts. Not enough air pressure in air/oil tank. Pressurize the tank. Reference the maintenance section for proper pressure setting. Something is interfering with cable travel. Verify cable does not touch anything but pulleys and all pulleys rotate freely. If the cable is rubbing on something, remove the obstruction or correct the positioning of the item causing the obstruction. Something is partially blocking one or both check valves. Replace the check valves. After climbing to the top of the wall and then releasing to lower back down, the Auto-belay drops freely without restriction a foot or more. The Auto-belay possibly has air in the check valves. Follow the Prime Before You Climb instructions at the beginning of this manual. The oil level in the Auto-belay air/oil tank is insufficient for proper belaying operation. Follow the Oil Check procedures found under the maintenance section of this manual.

14. Spectrum Appendix C Trouble Shooting Guide Problem: Auto-Belay cable will not retract Q: check the air pressure in the tank If NO; • Charge tank to the appropriate psi, and then check for air leaks by using soapy water. If YES; • Check cable/rope routing to ensure there is no cable obstructions. • Check pulleys and the pulley cart to ensure the pulleys are turning freely and that the cable/rope pulley cart is free from obstructions. • Ensure the ram alignment is true. Q: When proper air pressure, does the tracking pulley cart seem to stop at a point and not track?? IF NO; • Spectrum Sports Int’l for advice 888 563 0163 IF YES; • Check bearing for proper turning/tightness or track is clear of debris

15. Vertical Reality Trouble Shooting Guide Auto belay cable will not retract when wall is vertical • Check air tank pressure is between 35 to 40 psi • Check for air leaks using soapy water • Check cable routing for obstructions • Check that pulleys are rotating freely • Check Hydraulic ram alignment.
