Troubleshooting
Pulley is not rotating smoothly
Check the roller for any debris or obstructions. Clean the pulley and ensure the rope is within the 8mm diameter limit. If stiffness persists, check the swivel eye for damage or apply a minimal amount of light lubricant.
Rope seems to be catching or snagging
Verify that the rope diameter is no larger than 8mm. Ensure the rope is properly seated within the pulley channels and not rubbing against the pulley housing. Inspect the rope for damage.
Swivel eye is stiff or difficult to turn
Clean the swivel eye thoroughly. Inspect for any visible damage or corrosion. If necessary, apply a small amount of suitable lubricant to the swivel mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the pulley, simply attach a carabiner, shackle, or rope to the swivel eye top. Ensure the attachment point is secure. Thread your rope or cord through the two designated channels on the pulley wheel. Verify that the rope diameter does not exceed 8mm for optimal performance and safety.
Compatibility: This pulley is designed for use with ropes and cords up to 8mm in diameter. It is compatible with various attachment hardware such as carabiners, eye bolts, and secure anchor points.
Care: Keep the pulley clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically inspect the roller for debris that could impede smooth movement. Avoid exposing the pulley to harsh chemicals that could degrade the material. Ensure the swivel eye rotates freely; lubricate sparingly with a light, suitable lubricant if it becomes stiff, but avoid over-lubrication which can attract dirt.
