It's a very compact set. Specifications include a weight of 436 g, a double sheave with a diameter of 25 mm, it can handle ropes with a diameter of ≤ 8 mm, a rope length of 15 m, a strength of 36 kN, a WLL (Human) of 3 kN, and a WLL (Non - live) of 5 kN.
Using the Rock Exotica Aztek Pulley Kit is quite straightforward. First, pick the right configuration (5:1 or 4:1) by rotating the system according to your needs. You can use it in different scenarios like setting up a pick - off or a high - angle attendant tether. When you're getting started, identify the pulleys easily by their color - coding. Attach the carabiner to the large capture eye of the built - in swivel. Make sure to connect the rope through the pulley and use the ratchet pin for friction hitch connection as required. As for the rope, use the 8mm 15 - meter cord that comes with the kit. Keep in mind that the weight limit for human use is 3 kN and for non - live loads is 5 kN. Don't exceed these limits to ensure safety. When it comes to maintenance, store the kit in the provided storage bag after use. Check the pulleys and the rope regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, don't use the kit until you've replaced the damaged parts. You can purchase additional Quick Release Pins if needed. With proper use and maintenance, this kit will serve you well for a long time.
