DESCRIPTION AND USE OF OPERATOR CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Anchor, Rock, Camming Device
The spring-loaded camming device has a safety indicator which shows when placement is safe or unsafe.
When the device is properly seated, the Green Range Finder dots (Figure 1) are lined up where the cam
lobes touch the rock surface (Figure 1).
Yellow Range Finder dots (Figure 1) indicate that placement is less than ideal and you should proceed
with caution. Placement may be less stable but is still acceptable.
Red Range Finder dots (Figure 1) indicate that placement is unsafe and should be avoided.
