Summit Harness
Instruction Booklet
MAKE SURE YOUR PRUSSIC HITCH LOOKS LIKE THIS PICTURE BEFORE USING!
DO NOT USE unless your prussic hitch has 6 (six) loops!
DO NOT USE unless your prussic hitch has a 2 1/2” long tail (minimum) beyond the knot end!
Pull on the knot end of the prussic hitch and make sure it locks to the safety rope. DO NOT USE
your harness unless your prussic hitch looks like the one pictured here. In addition, MAKE SURE the
hitch locks to the safety rope when you pull on the knot end.
The Summit Treestand, LLC safety line has the ability to adjust tether length while attached
to the tree. NEVER exceed 24 inches of total tether length (Safety rope and tether strap
combined). Minimize tether length 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. The prussic hitch slides along the safety rope until loaded, at
which point it locks securely into place.
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR SAFETY ROPE:
The safety rope has been subjected to severe shock loading.
The safety rope has been subjected to the kind of overload for which it was not designed,
such as towing a vehicle.
The Safety rope shows signs of fraying from substantial use.
The Safety rope was used in preventing a fall.
