READ ME FIRST!!!
Please read carefully BEFORE using your new Summit Safety Harness.
Congratulations! You have purchased the nest commercially available hunting harness on the market today. Summit Harnesses are designed and built to pro-
vide years of trouble-free, successful hunting with a minimum of maintenance and care. They are certied to meet the requirements of the Treestand Manufac-
turers Association (TMA) Standards. This booklet is provided to you to outline the recommended use, care and maintenance of your Summit Safety Harness.
YOU MUST FULLY READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND EXPIRATION DATE! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!
WEIGHT LIMIT: 300 LBS. IF YOU PURCHASED A GOLIATH TREESTAND, THE WEIGHT LIMIT IS 350 LBS.
BEFORE USING ANY TREESTAND, BE SURE YOU MAINTAIN FULL BODY SAFETY HARNESS ATTACHMENT TO THE TREE AT ALL TIMES AFTER LEAVING
THE GROUND!!! A FALL CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME AFTER LEAVING THE GROUND! IN THE EVENT OF A FALL - DON’T PANIC!! - THERE IS TIME TO
MAKE A CORRECT DECISION ON WHAT ACTION TO TAKE IF A FALL OCCURS WHILE WEARING A FULL BODY HARNESS.
DO NOT USE THIS OR ANY OTHER TREESTAND IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING DRUGS OR ALCOHOL OR ARE PHYSICALLY IMPAIRED IN ANY WAY!
NEVER ALLOW THE SAFETY HARNESS TETHER TO GET UNDER OR AROUND YOUR NECK!
IT IS NECESSARY AND VERY IMPORTANT THAT SOMEONE KNOWS YOUR HUNTING LOCATION AND TIME OF RETURN. IT IS ALSO VERY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU CARRY (ON YOUR PERSON) EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION DEVICES SUCH AS A CELL PHONE, TWO-WAY RADIO, WHISTLE,
SIGNAL FLARE OR PREFERABLY A PLD (PERSONAL LOCATOR DEVICE - FCC APPROVED JULY, ‘03). WHEN TRIGGERED, A PLD WILL TRANSMIT AN
EMERGENCY SIGNAL TO LOCAL RESCUE TEAMS IDENTIFYING YOUR LOCATION VIA SATELLITE GPS COORDINATES. WILDERNESS OUTFITTERS AND
THE INTERNET ARE SOURCES FOR THESE PLD’S.
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 BY 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.
PRACTICE THE USE OF THIS 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!
BE WELL RESTED AND NEVER GET IN A HURRY. HURRYING CAUSES ACCIDENTS!!
IF YOU LOAN OR SELL THIS TREESTAND, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FURNISH THE BUYER A COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE VIDEO
THAT CAME WITH THE TREESTAND. MAKE SURE THEY WATCH THE VIDEO AND READ / UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS!
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!
