Directions for Use

Attach the snap shackle to a suitable connection point using the large swivel eye.

The large eye provides space for connecting several compatible ropes, while the swivel allows the shackle to rotate freely.

To open the snap shackle, pull the release pin. You can also attach a small cord to make the release mechanism easier to operate.

Before applying any load, make sure the shackle is properly closed and the swivel moves freely.

Important Information

Do not exceed the specified working load of 2,800kg. The breaking load of 7,500kg is not the permitted load for normal use.

Before installation, check that the large eye, release mechanism, ropes and attachment points are suitable for your application.

If several ropes are connected, make sure their combined loads and directions are suitable for the complete installation.

Do not release a loaded connection unless the system is specifically designed for safe release under load.
