RETRIEVAL OF THE SYSTEM
When secured safely within the tree, or with stable footing on the ground at the end of the
climb, install the retrieval cone on to the termination of the climbing line as shown:
fig. 17 fig. 18 fig. 19
Again, when safely secured, detach the termination of the climbing line from its connector and
pull the termination up to, and through the PINTO Pulley. Continue to pull until the Retrieval
Ball locates in the thimble of the Prusik Loop with thimble. Pull again until the PINTO Pulley is
pulled through the Soft Eye, the Soft Eye is retrieved around the structural anchor point, and
the assembly can be lowered.

Importance of lowering pulleySAVER under control.
It is vital that pulleySAVER is retrieved and lowered under control. High impact forces may
damage pulleySAVER, in particular the metal parts, making the assembly unfit for its' inten-
ded purpose. There are a number of techniques which can be used to lower pulleySAVER in a
controlled manner. Most commonly, a thin line is placed over a branch a short distance above
pulleySAVER, then connected via an accessory karabiner to the Soft Eye. The bag containing
the thin line is then thrown from the anchor point to the outside of the canopy where it falls to
the ground. Caution is required to ensure it is safe to allow the line to take the chosen route,
to ensure nothing will be damaged or that it becomes entangled e.g. in moving traffic or utility
lines.
