WARNING
!
You must fully read, understand and follow these warnings
and instructions (written and video)! Failure to follow these
instructions may cause serious injury or death!!
•
WHEN HUNTING FROM A TREESTAND FALLS CAUSING INJURY
OR DEATH CAN OCCUR ANY TIME AFTER LEAVING THE GROUND!
FOR THOSE REASONS ALWAYS WEAR A FALL ARREST SYSTEM (FAS)
COMPRISING A FULL BODY HARNESS AT ALL TIMES AFTER LEAVING
THE GROUND. YOU MUST STAY CONNECTED AT ALL TIMES AFTER
LEAVING THE GROUND WHILE USING ANY ELEVATED HUNTING
PLATFORM. SINGLE SAFETY BELTS AND CHEST HARNESSES ARE NO
LONGER ALLOWED AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED. IF YOU ARE NOT
WEARING A FULL BODY HARNESS THAT IS PROTECTING YOU FROM
A FALL, DO NOT LEAVE THE GROUND!
•
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MANUFACTURER'S WARNINGS,
EXPIRATION DATE AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE AND HOW
TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE HARNESS.
•
PRACTICE THE USE OF A FULL BODY HARNESS AT GROUND LEVEL IN
THE PRESENCE OF A RESPONSIBLE ADULT TO EXPERIENCE THE FEELING OF HANGING SUSPENDED BEFORE USING
IN A HUNTING ENVIRONMENT.
•
THE LENGTH OF THE HARNESS TETHER MUST BE MINIMIZED AT ALL TIMES. IT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED SO THAT IT
IS ABOVE THE HEAD WITH NO SLACK (SNUG) IN THE SITTING POSITION AND YOU SHOULD HAVE THE MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF SLACK POSSIBLE WHEN CLIMBING.
•
NEVER ALLOW THE TETHER ROPE TO GET UNDER YOUR CHIN OR AROUND YOUR NECK!
•
A FALL CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME AFTER LEAVING THE GROUND! IF THE HUNTING LOCATION IS UNKNOWN
BY ANYONE AND COMMUNICATION EFFORTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, YOU MUST HAVE A PERSONAL PLAN FOR
RECOVERY/ESCAPE BECAUSE PROLONGED SUSPENSION IN A HARNESS CAN BE FATAL. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
EXERCISE THE LEGS BY PUSHING AGAINST THE TREE OR DOING OTHER FORMS OF CONTINUOUS LEG EXERCISES
TO AVOID BLOOD POOLING WHILE BEING SUSPENDED. HUNTERS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS MAY REQUIRE DIFFERENT PLANS TO RECOVER/ESCAPE THE EFFECTS OF PROLONGED SUSPENSION.
HAVE A PERSONAL PLAN AND PRACTICE IT IN THE PRESENCE OF A RESPONSIBLE ADULT BEFORE LEAVING
THE GROUND. NO ONE ESCAPE/RESCUE PLAN WILL WORK FOR EVERY HUNTER ON EVERY TREE IN EVERY
CIRCUMSTANCE. ONLY YOU CAN DETERMINE THE BEST RECOVERY/ESCAPE PLAN FOR YOUR HUNTING
SITUATION AND YOU MUST HAVE A RECOVERY/ESCAPE PLAN FOR YOUR SITUATION BEFORE LEAVING THE
GROUND.
•
HUNT FROM THE GROUND WHEN SELF-RECOVERY/ESCAPE ABILITY IS ABSENT.
•
A SUSPENSION RELIEF DEVICE MUST BE ON YOUR PERSON AND READILY ACCESSIBLE WHILE USING A HARNESS.
THIS DEVICE WILL ALLOW THE USER TO RELIEVE THE LOAD ON THE LOWER EXTREMITIES IF SUSPENDED IN
A HARNESS TO HELP MAINTAIN CIRCULATION IN THE LEGS AND PREVENT SUSPENSION TRAUMA (BLOOD
POOLING). BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS ON THE SAFE USE OF ANY SUSPENSION
RELIEF DEVICE.
•
IN THE EVENT OF A FALL - DO NOT PANIC!! - THERE IS TIME TO MAKE A CORRECT DECISION ON WHAT ACTION
TO TAKE IF A FALL OCCURS WHILE WEARING A FULL BODY HARNESS. REMAIN CALM AND IMPLEMENT YOUR
PRACTICED RESCUE, RELIEF AND RECOVERY PLAN.
