SAFE LINK 2 CLIMBING ROPE SYSTEM REPLACEMENT
You must replace your Safe Link 2 if it has been subjected to severe shock loading (i.e., prevented/mitigated a fall), was exposed to any
type of overloading (i.e., improper use or other), demonstrates any signs of wear (i.e., fraying, abrasion, nicking, stretching, etc.) has
been subjected to inclement weather for more than two (2) weeks, has become stiff or hard, has been exposed to vandalism or animal
damage (i.e., animal damage).
NOTE: You MUST install your Safe Link 2 as described in the “SAFE LINK 2 CLIMBING ROPE SYSTEM INSTALLATION” section
above. These instructions are provided to assist you in installing your Safe Link 2 climbing rope system safely.
WARNING! You must read a follow the installation instructions in the “SAFE LINK 2 CLIMBING ROPE SYSTEM INSTALLA-
TION” section above. Failure to install the Safe Link 2 as outlined above may result in serious injury or death!
STEP 1: The rst person to climb using the Safe Link 2, must attach his/her harness’s tether to the top (upper/top carabiner) making
sure the carabiner is closed and the locking collar is tightened securely as shown in Figure E.
STEP 2: The rst climber will now ascend, gripping the prusik knot lightly, sliding it along the Safe Link 2 climbing rope. ALWAYS remove
your hand from the prusik hitch once it has been moved into position. DO NOT hold the prusik hitch while climbing as this can cause the
prusik hitch to fail to grab the climbing rope (and mitigating/stopping a fall) in the unlikely event you experience a fall.
Once the rst climber reaches the treestand, he/she must connect to their full-body fall arrest harness tree belt.
NOTE: ONLY ONE (1) user may be attached to Safe Link 2 at any given time. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions when attaching your
tether and tree belt to the tree trunk. You must stay attached to Safe Link 2 until you have connected to the full-body fall arrest harness
tree belt. Only disconnect from Safe Link 2 once you have attached to the full-body fall arrest harness tree belt which is secured around
the tree trunk as outlined in the manufacturer’s Instruction Manual.
STEP 5: Once the rst climber has been secured to the tree and is safely in the treestand, the second climber can begin to climb. Attach
your full-body fall arrest harness tether to the lower/bottom carabiner on the Safe Link 2 climbing rope.
STEP 6: You may now begin to ascend, gripping the prusik knot lightly, sliding it along the Safe Link 2 climbing rope. ALWAYS remove
your hand from the prusik hitch once it has been moved into position. DO NOT hold the prusik hitch while climbing as this can cause
the prusik hitch to fail to grab the climbing rope (and mitigating/stopping a fall) in the unlikely event you experience a fall. Once safely
in the treestand, you may remained attached to the climbing rope for the duration of your hunt. Make certain your prusik hitch is slid up
as high as possible, thus limiting the distance you may fall in the unlikely event you should experience a fall while using this product(s)
as shown in Figure I.
NOTE: You must position your prusik hitch as high up the tree trunk as possible. This practice limits the distance you will fall in the unlikely
event you experience a fall.
WARNING! You must position your prusik hitch as high up the tree trunk as possible. This practice limits the distance you will fall
in the unlikely event you experience a fall. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
NOTE: The second climber shall remain attached to Safe Link 2 climbing rope while in the treestand. Make certain the prusik hitch is as
high up the tree trunk as possible. This practice limits the distance you will fall in the unlikely event you experience a fall.
STEP 7: To descend, the second climber (still attached to Safe Link 2) descends, gripping the prusik hitch lightly, sliding it down the Safe
Link 2 climbing rope (shown in Figure F). ALWAYS remove your hand from the prusik knot once it is moved into position. DO NOT hold
the prusik knot while climbing as it can cause this product to fail. Keep the prusik hitch above your head at all times. Once safely back
on the ground, disconnect from the Safe Link 2 climbing rope.
STEP 8: The rst climber (attached to the tree trunk via their full-body fall arrest harness tree belt) shall attach the rst carabiner to their
full-body fall arrest harness tether, making sure the carabiner is closed and the locking collar is tightened securely as shown in Figure
E. Once attached to the Safe Link 2 carabiner, remove your tether from the tree belt.
STEP 9: Move the prusik hitch down the climbing rope frequently as you descend. Make certain to keep the prusik hitch above your head
at all times (as shown in Figure G) while climbing down to limit the distance you may fall in the unlikely event you should experience a
fall while descending.
