MAXTRAX Rope Dampener DESCRIPTION

The MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER has been designed and tested as part of the MAXTRAX RECOVERY SYSTEM. The MAXTRAX RECOVERY SYSTEM is comprised solely of MAXTRAX products and has not been tested with any third party branded products. Critically, if the MAXTRAX RECOVERY SYSTEM is overloaded the MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE is designed to be the weakest link, and the expected point of failure. Accordingly, YOU MUST USE a MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE in the MAXTRAX RECOVERY SYSTEM during any vehicle recovery. Position the MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER near the MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE. The MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER can be connected to a Rope Loop with a MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE. Only use rated recovery points when using the MAXTRAX RECOVERY SYSTEM.

1. Visually inspect the MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER and the MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE to ensure they are undamaged and in a safe and usable condition.
2. Prepare the MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER by placing weighted material or objects such as sand or water bottles into the two sleeves.
3. Close the MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER Sleeves by folding over the edge 2 times and securing the clips.
4. Using a MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE feed the open MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE through the loop on the MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER and then through the rope loop of a MAXTRAX KINETIC ROPE, MAXTRAX STATIC ROPE, or MAXTRAX WINCH ROPE next to the attached MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE in the Recovery System.
5. Slide the MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE loop over the knot and pull both sides of the MAXTRAX FUSE SHACKLE to tighten the loop, positioning the knot so that the loop pulls at 90 Degrees next to the knot.
6. Drape the MAXTRAX ROPE DAMPENER over the attached Rope or allow to hang down.
