Before each use
Verify that the product is free of cracks,
deformation, marks, wear, corrosion, etc.
Check the condition of the frame, the
connection holes, the cam and safety
catch, the springs and the cam axle.

that has missing or worn-out teeth.
Consult the details of the inspection
procedure to be carried out for each item

or on the PETZL PPE CD-ROM.

During each use
It is important to regularly monitor
the condition of the product and its
connections to the other equipment
in the system. Make sure that all
pieces of equipment in the system
are correctly positioned with respect
to each other.
WARNING, be careful to:
- foreign bodies which can impede the
operation of the cam,
- situations where the safety catch can
snag and cause the cam to open.
Verify that this product is compatible with
the other elements of the system in your
application (compatible = good functional
interaction).
Connectors
Make sure your connectors are compatible
with the rope clamp/grab (shape,
size, etc.). Use an OMNI M37 or a P118B
triangular quick link or a P18 semi-circular
quick link.
Any equipment used with your rope clamp/
grab must conform to applicable standards
and regulations.
This rope clamp/grab is a device for
ascending rope. It slides along the rope
in one direction and jams in the other
direction.
The cam’s teeth initiate a clamping action
that pinches the rope between the cam
and the frame. The slot in the cam allows
mud to be evacuated.
Attach the device to the harness by passing a quick link or an
OMNI through the connection hole.
Fasten the chest harness to the upper hole, so that the device is
held in a vertical position against the chest.
Close the CROLL’s cam when not in use because equipment or
other objects can become stuck in the device if left open.
Pull the safety catch down and lock it on the frame of the device.
The cam then stays in the open position.
Put the rope into its place. Pay attention to the Up/Down indicator.
Push the safety catch so that the cam presses against the rope. In
this position the safety catch helps prevent involuntary opening
of the cam.
Removing the rope
Move the device up the rope while pulling the safety catch down
and out.
