Using the Rock Exotica Rock Steel Auto Lock Carabiner is easy. First, make sure the gate is open and then attach it to your rigging line or other equipment. The wide 30mm gate opening makes it convenient to fit thicker lines. Once attached, ensure the gate is securely locked to prevent accidental opening. When using, always check the carabiner for any signs of damage like cracks or excessive wear. Don't exceed its strength limits, such as the 16kN or 3600 lbs for the gate/sleeve inward force. To maintain the carabiner, keep it clean and dry. After use, wipe it down with a dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild soap and water to clean it, then dry it thoroughly. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
