IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Speed Climbing Is a Dangerous Activity
Read Before Installation & Operation
The practice of Speed climbing diers from other forms of rock climbing in that a) Climbers can gain height very quickly, and b) Climbers
are focused on speed and sometimes don’t pay enough attention to
the safety systems provided by an operator.
Because of this fundamental dierence, Speed climbers MUST be supervised
at all times to ensure that the lanyard/rope always keeps up with the pace
of the climber. In addition, operators MUST have a communication system in
place to alert a climber if a webbing fails to retract or retracts slower than the
climber ascends.
If a climber significantly exceeds the pace of his/her rope or lanyard, an unprotected fall from height can occur. A FALL FROM HEIGHT MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Any device that fails to retract or keep pace with the climber must be removed
immediately from service and diagnosed by the operator. If items external to
the device (see below for examples) are responsible for retraction problems,
these must be corrected before placing the TRUBLUE Speed device back into
service. If items external to the device have been removed, and retraction
problems persist, immediately send the device to your nearest authorized
Head Rush Technologies service center.
Examples of external items that could prevent or aect retraction of a
TRUBLUE Speed device:
Foreign bodies becoming lodged in the nozzle.
Route marking tape interfering with the webbing and/or becoming
lodged in the nozzle.
Protruding handholds, climbing wall features or climbing equipment
interfering with lanyard retraction.

Belay are free of sharp edges and high-friction surfaces that may damage the webbing line.
Ensure that the descent path and landing area are free of other climbers,
pedestrians or obstacles that may cause entanglement or restrict the
climber’s ascent or descent.
The Auto Belay is free to pivot in all directions and should not bind the
mountings or be able to impact upon the surrounding structure.
8.2.5 OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS
The TRUBLUE Speed Auto Belay may be installed outdoors.
It is recommended that in wet or high-variable temperature environments, the
Auto Belay is protected from the direct ingress of water or foreign objects.
NOTE
Prolonged exposure to the elements will increase the risk of internal
corrosion and degradation of the webbing line, resulting in increased
operation and servicing costs. Increased inspections are required in these
types of environments.

Page 22
8.3 Mounting
With a suitable location for the Auto
Belay selected, it can be mounted only
using the methods and hardware described in this manual. When mounting
the Auto Belay be aware of the following
precautions:
Mount the TRUBLUE Speed with
the bump out on the front side
cover facing AWAY from the
climbing wall.
MOUNTING HEIGHT
When mounting the device, the distance between the nozzle and the
ground must be no higher than 12.5 m (41 ft) for the 12.5 m webbing and
between 12 m (39.5 ft) and 16 m (52.5 ft) for the 16 m webbing. Exceeding
the allowable mounting height in either the 12.5 m of 16 m Speed devices
will result in damage to the device. Mounting the 16 m Speed device lower
than 12 m (nozzle to ground), will compromise reliability in retraction.
8.3.1 MOUNTING POINTS
USE ONLY THE DESIGNATED MOUNTING POINTS
Use only the correct mounting points. Use of incorrect points can result in
equipment damage.
Ensure all mounting hardware is secure but free to pivot in mounting point.
ALWAYS MOUNT THE FRONT SIDE COVER WITH THE BUMP
FACING OUT
The front side cover with the bump out should be mounted facing away
from the climbing wall to avoid excess wear on the device or the wall.
The TRUBLUE Speed Auto Belay is manufactured with a single central pivot
mounting point, an oset secondary mounting point and formed handle located at the top of the casing. These mounting points are located on the central
plate and are located to ensure the unit hangs centrally and vertically with the
line nozzle pointing down.
The Side Covers are a sacrificial protective cover designed to prevent damage
to both the device and any adjacent surface. Should the covers become excessively worn, damaged, or aesthetically unpleasing, they may be replaced by
the user. Details of replacement parts may be found in the Replacement Parts
section of this manual.
