WARNINGS FOR ROPE BRIDGE:
Rope bridge attached to this harness is designed to be replaced
by the user at regular intervals. Interval will be dictated by the
frequency of use and external working conditions rather than
set time.
Manufacturer does not place a time limit on the replacement
of the rope bridge. Due to the rigorous strain the rope bridge
endures, it should be replaced at the earliest signs of wear.
Bridge should be carefully inspected prior to each use. This
inspection should include but not be limited to: rope cuts, nicks,
tears, kinks, abrasions, burns, excessive swelling, excessive
jacket wear, discoloration, broken, fraying, or unraveling fibers,
loose stitching, chemical or physical exposure. Failure to
regularly inspect and replace the rope bridge could result in
injury or death.
Only use Notch rope bridges where one end is still equiped with
a manufacturer-supplied Double Fisherman's knot and tie the
other end in the same way.
