Your New Tribe Saddle may feel a bit stiff when you first put it on. After you've used it for a short time, it will "break in" like a good pair
of boots. That's when you'll see why our Saddle is so well known for comfort!
WARNING: Make sure that the saddle fits snugly at the waist and that the Screw Link is secure before using the
saddle. When wearing the saddle, double-check the buckles, Screw Link, and fit of the saddle immediately prior to
relying on it for support.
USING YOUR SADDLE
For ascending, descending and belays, your rope or other safety devices may be connected or tied directly into the Screw Link at the
front, between the two sewn eyes of the belt. Your New Tribe Saddle should allow you to sit comfortably upright while ascending,
hanging, or descending. You may safely connect into the legstrap D-ring if you want to lower your attachment point to adjust your
balance. If side D-rings are present on your saddle, they may be used for work positioning in conjunction with a lanyard or rope that
connects to both side Ds.
The snaphooks and/or aluminum rings sewn onto the New Tribe Saddle belt are intended only for carrying gear
and accessories. Do not use them for life support. Keep your primary life support at the Screw Link in front.
During use, carrying, and storage, keep the saddle away from acids, alkalis, exhaust emissions, rust and strong chemicals. Do not
expose the saddle to flame or high temperatures. Carry the saddle where it will be protected as the saddle could melt or burn and fail if
exposed to flame or high temperatures.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
If the saddle becomes soiled, it can be washed in cold water with a mild non-detergent soap. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area out
of direct sunlight. Do not dry in an automatic dryer. Store in a cool, dry location. Keep the saddle away from acids, alkalis, exhaust
emissions, rust or strong chemicals during storage or use.
REPAIRS & ALTERATIONS
New Tribe recommends that all repair work be done by the manufacturer. All other repair work or modification of the saddle may void
the warranty and releases New Tribe from all liability and responsibility as the manufacturer.
