Using the Rock Exotica RockO carbiner is straightforward. First, open the gate by pressing the appropriate part of the locking mechanism. Insert your gear or rope into the carbiner, making sure it sits in the middle as designed. Then, close the gate and ensure the auto - lock engages. When using it, always check that the lock is secure before putting any weight on the carbiner. Don't use it if the gate doesn't close properly or if there are any visible signs of damage. To maintain this carbiner, keep it clean. After use, simply wipe it down with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures as this can affect its strength and functionality. If you notice any wear and tear, it's best to replace the carbiner to ensure your safety.
