The Drum is a friction device added to the RE Unicender to save wear and add function. Instillation is required. This is a new version that also includes a sacrificial wear plate for the bottom "L" bracket. This listing is for both the Drum, wear plate, screws and lock washers, positioning plate and/or stencil for proper positioning of the screw holes. Another listing for the Unicender with the Drum and wear plate installed is also available as well as a separate listing for just the "L" bracket wear plate. Technical notice for the Drum kit or lower wear plate designed by Climbing Innovations LLC and used on the Unicender. A user in New Zealand has reported an issue with the use of the lower friction plate that comes with the Drum Kit or is sold separately by Climbing Innovations LLC. It involves the Unicender being locked into the Control Mode descent. If a user inadvertently places the Unicender in this configuration the climber will need to continue the descent to the ground or to a place where the device can be safely unweighted and reconfigured. The actual descent is unaffected, the climber can control speed and stop the descent at anytime just as one might do if this inadvertent configuration did not occur. https://youtu.be/DaU0JqgGHgY Explanation:https://youtu.be/fYMCgthm16M The Drum.https://a360.co/3xVkE9U Mounting plate 3Dhttps://a360.co/33kjNRU PDF mounting stencilhttps://a360.co/3f0OC3y Unicender manual https://www.rockexotica.com/media/wysiwyg/rockexotica/tn/unicender-tech-notice.pdf Consider using the stencil or positioning guide for drilling a 5/16 hole for the ¼ bolt. It is advised to use drilling methods that will limit the drill from walking. Use soft clamps or mallet to push the wear plate over the “L” bracket. Silicone or some adhesive may be used if you are concerned about it coming off. Be sure to understand the manual that is provided with the Unicender. These metal parts are anodized, depending on the individual circumstances and friction requirements, consider using a file or coarse sandpaper to remove anodizing where the rope will contact the metal parts.
