INFORMATION BEFORE MOUNTING
Always check before use!
• Anchor points may only be fitted by qualified
persons.
• Ensure that the stations are sufficiently
strong.
• Ensure that both children and adults can
reach the TWEEZLEs easily. If necessary, attach
pedestals to the platforms.
• To ensure best climbing fun with the SSB
system, BORNACK recommends installing the
securing ropes at a height of . m to . m,
depending on the SSB length and size of the
visitors. Observe/read the User Manual of the
SSB system.
• The evacuation TWEEZLE and the course
TWEEZLE must dier in colour.
• It should be possible to reach the TWEEZLE
without excessive bending of the SSB system.
• The meaning of the colours must be
clearly explained in the initial briefing
because simultaneous tweezling with both
karabiners can damage the Bowden cable in
the long-term.
• We recommend installing waiting loops so
that slower guests can be overtaken and
several people can wait on a platform.
• In the waiting loops, the colour of the
TWEEZLE must be the same as those in the
course direction.
• Avoid courses where guests are tempted to
trick or manipulate the system, e.g. labyrinths,
dead ends.
VISUAL/FUNCTION TEST
• Ensure that the TWEEZLE is undamaged
before mounting.
• Test the function of the ident marks on the
SAFE LINK SSB securing system before using.

EN
MOUNTING
A Mount the TWEEZLE as close as possible to
the obstacle that needs to be passed (tree).
B The clearances between the TWEEZLES must
be kept as small as possible but far enough
apart so that it is not possible to skip or
tweezle both karabiners at the same time
and bend the SSB.
C Ensure that the TWEEZLE is mounted so that
the SSB hook falls down after tweezling. This
avoids bending loads.
Avoid vertical ascent.
D On rope slides, attach the TWEEZLES so that
the SSB karabiner cannot become caught at
the start, i.e. steps must be taken to ensure
that the SSB does not get stuck in the
TWEEZLE or slide behind it.
E Place the TWEEZLE halves onto the securing
rope.
F If necessary ax using the assembly clamps
Screw the screws M into TWEEZLE using a
cordless screwdriver.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the torque of the cordless screw-
driver is set at a soft level. Avoid over-screwing
as this could damage the TWEEZLE.
CAUTION:
The securing rope should be attached at a
height of at least . m.
