Nomenclature

(1) Sheave, (2) Button for blocking the cam, (3) Cam, (4) Axle, (5) Moving side plate, (6) Side plate unlocking button, (7) Cover, (8) Attachment hole, (9) Cord hole. Principal materials: aluminum, stainless steel, nylon.

Inspection, points to verify

Your safety depends upon the integrity of your equipment.
Petzl recommends a detailed inspection by a competent person at least once every 12 months (depending on current regulations in your country, and your conditions of usage).
WARNING: your intensity of use may cause you to inspect your PPE more frequently.
Follow the procedures described at Petzl.com. Record the results on your PPE inspection form: type, model, manufacturer contact info, serial number or individual number, dates: manufacture, purchase, first use, next periodic inspection; problems, comments, inspector’s name and signature.
Before each use
Verify the absence of any deformation, cracks, marks, wear or corrosion on the product.
Check the condition of the locking system for the moving side plate and verify that it is working properly.
Check the condition of the sheave and verify that it is working properly.
Check the mobility of the cam and the effectiveness of its spring.
WARNING: do not use your MINI TRAXION if it has missing or worn-out teeth. Verify the absence of foreign objects in the mechanism.
During 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 items of equipment are correctly positioned with respect to each other.
Beware of foreign bodies (e.g. mud, snow, ice or debris) which can impede the operation of the cam.
WARNING: blocking effectiveness and pulley efficiency can vary depending on the condition of the rope (particularly with wear, moisture or ice).

Compatibility

Verify that this product is compatible with the other elements of the system in your application (compatible = good functional interaction).
Equipment used with your progress-capture pulley must meet current standards in your country (e.g. EN 362 carabiners).
Ropes
The MINI TRAXION is compatible and certified with 7-11 mm diameter EN 892 dynamic kernmantle ropes.
The MINI TRAXION is compatible and certified with 8.5-11 mm diameter EN 1891 low stretch kernmantle ropes.
Cords
The MINI TRAXION is compatible and certified with 8 mm diameter EN 564 cords.
See the Instructions for Use for the cord.
HMPE cords
The MINI TRAXION is compatible and certified only with RAD LINE cord.
When using the hyperstatic RAD LINE cord, care must be taken to minimize any slack and/or fall risk. See the RAD LINE and RAD SYSTEM’s Instructions for Use.
Attachment hole
Compatible with carabiners or ropes.
WARNING: prolonged use with a connector can create wear and sharp edges that are dangerous if the attachment hole is then used with a rope.

Function principle and test

The MINI TRAXION allows the rope to run in one direction, and blocks in the other direction. The cam’s teeth initiate the clamping action, then the rope is blocked by being pinched against the sheave.
With the cam deactivated, the MINI TRAXION can be used as a pulley only.

Installing the MINI TRAXION

The pulley must be able to move freely so that it can align naturally with the loaded rope. Beware of any external object rubbing against the unlocking button.
WARNING: if the red indicator on the unlocking button is visible, or if the red indicator on the sheave is visible, the side plate is not locked: there is a risk of accidental opening.

Specifications

Working load limit – progress-capture pulley: 2.5 kN.
Working load limit – pulley: 5 kN.
Breaking strength in progress-capture mode: the rope tears at 4 kN (ropes greater than 7 mm in diameter) or 5 kN (ropes greater than 10 mm in diameter and RAD LINE).
Breaking strength: 20 kN.
Hauling efficiency: F = 1.07 M.
Efficiency: 93 %.
Efficiency is measured with a rope of the minimum diameter compatible with the device.

Deactivating the cam

WARNING: deactivating the progress-capture function presents a fall risk for the load.
Deactivating the progress-capture function:
To deactivate the progress-capture function, raise the cam and press the button.
Release the button to hold the cam in the raised position.
Reactivating the progress-capture function:
To reactivate the progress-capture function, press the button again.
Temporary deactivation with a cord:
Pass a cord through the cord hole, then through the hole in the cam, and then tie a stopper knot.
WARNING: the end of the cord exiting the stopper knot must be very short, so as not to interfere with the functioning of the cam. There is a risk of it not blocking if the cord gets caught between the cam and the rope.

Precautions

To reduce the risk of a free fall, the rope between the progress-capture pulley and the load must always stay taut. Shock loading must absolutely be avoided when close to the anchor.
Do not use a progress-capture pulley if a high load is foreseeable, for example to anchor a rope or a lifeline, or to tension a tyrolean: there is a risk of tearing the rope if the load on the rope is too high.

EN 12841: 2006 type B – Rope access

The MINI TRAXION must be used with a type A backup device on a second (safety) rope.
The MINI TRAXION is not suitable for use in a fall-arrest system.
To meet the requirements of the EN 12841: 2006 type B standard, use 10-11 mm EN 1891 type A low stretch kernmantle ropes. (Note: Certification testing was performed using Petzl CLUB 10 mm and Petzl AXIS 11 mm ropes.)
Use a connecting assembly of maximum length 1 meter (lanyard + connectors + devices).
Regardless of the angle of the rope, do not allow slack in the rope between the rope adjuster and the anchor, in order to reduce the risk of a fall.
When your body weight is on the work rope, make sure that the safety rope is not loaded.
A dynamic overload can damage the safety rope.
Nominal maximum load: 100 kg.
