Device Mounting Instructions

(8) 

Using the supplied Ratchet Handle and Ratchet
Strap attach the device to the tree.

(9) 

Ensure the Strap Hooks are fitted correctly and
the Webbing is fed through the Ratchet Handle
as shown on page 8

(10)  Tighten the Ratchet System as tight as possible

ensuring the device is securely mounted to the
tree.

(11)  Once the Device is securely mounted a backup

Sling  must  be  attached  to  the  base  anchor
point. and tied off using a suitable termination
hitch. Ensure the sling is of a sufficient length to
terminate the hitch properly.

(12)  Once  the  device  is  mounted  correctly  the  top

attachment  sling  can  either  be  removed  or
detached from the device.

(4) 

For ease of mounting we recommend that you
place a sling above where the device is to be
mounted.

(5) 

Attach a suitable Karabiner to the sling

(6) 

Using  the  Top  Attachment  Point  attach  the
lowering device to the Karabiner.

(7) 

Ensure  the  device  is  suspended  at  a  height
where it can be safely operated.

(1) 

When  selecting  the  best  place  to  mount  the
device try to locate an area where there is little
or no stem taper. If the tree is being removed
this can be achieved by shaping the stem to be
parallel.

(2) 

You must then decide which type of mounting
method  is  required  for  the  job  you  are
undertaking (see page 7)

ENSURE THE WORK AREA IS FREE & CLEAR OF ANY OBSTACLES AND A FULL

RISK ASSESSMENT HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN BEFORE USING THE RC DEVICE

These mounting instructions are the same for using both methods of mounting as described on page 7
