The keys to effective rescues with
the Lifesling System are:
• Follow and PRACTICE the
recommended Lifesling rescue
techniques as written in this manual
• Before each trip, familiarize crew
on how to use the Lifesling2
• At least two crew persons
should be familiar with boat
handling, basic seamanship
and emergency procedures
• Stay close to the person in the water
• Do not lose sight of the person in
the water
Instruction Manual
Important! Read this manual before installing the Lifesling2;
practical knowledge of the system’s use is essential before
an emergency requires its use. Repack the Lifesling2 to be
assured of proper deployment.
Read This Manual Carefully!
Someone’s life may depend on it. Retrieval of
a person overboard (POB) can be very difficult
especially in rough or cold water.
