PRIOR TO USE:
▪This equipment is intended for use by properly trained professionals only.
▪Know the job and the regulations governing requirements and select proper equipment.
▪Manufacturer’s instructions shall be provided to users with this product. Read and understand all instructions and warnings
provided by Buckingham included with the product before use.
▪All Wood Pole Fall Restriction Devices MUST BE properly adjusted and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions to function as designed and intended. Proper adjustment of this device according to Buckingham’s warnings and
instructions is the user’s responsibility. Death or serious injury may result to the user in the event that the device is used
while out of adjustment.
▪Visually inspect this, and all related equipment, before each use. (See inspection below)
INSPECTION:
Prior to use, carefully inspect equipment for indications of wear and/or deterioration. The inspection should include, but not be limited
to the following:
1. All hardware and connecting devices are clean and functioning properly, free of cracks,
deformation, burrs, excessive wear, corrosion, modifications or additions. Snaphook and
Carabiner gate freely opens and closes without binding. All bolts and locking nuts are in
place and securely tightened. Note: the gate of the Serrated Rotosnap is manufactured with
a spring retention slot. Ensure this slot is free from debris as this may cause the gate to
bind. Ensure the rubber grip attached to the gate of the Serrated Rotosnap is centered in the
knurled section of the gate as shown.
2. The cam of the WebGrab / BuckGrab rotates freely and locks on the strap / rope when properly adjusted on the pole and
the user’s weight is on the unit.
3. The cam eye shows no signs of excessive wear. Slight wear from
contact with the Serrated Rotosnap is acceptable. Unacceptable
wear to the cam is defined as wear resulting in measured
dimensions of less than 11/32”eye width (across the eye (Fig. D))
or less than 5/32” eye thickness at the top of eye (Fig. E) as
defined by Buckingham’s PN 6307 WebGrab / BuckGrab Cam
Eye Gauge (sold separately).
4. All straps are free from defects including kinks, knots, cuts, cracks,
burns, abrasions, broken strands or stitching, excessive wear,
chemical exposure, and ice / mud / snow, etc., buildup. If buildup
on straps or component assemblies is noted, remove buildup. One method of removal from the strap is to run the WebGrab
along the length of the outer (brown) and inner (green / yellow) strap, and/or run the BuckGrab along the length of the
inner (rope) or the friction buckle along the length of the inner (green / yellow) strap. Ensure component assemblies are
clean and free of any debris. NOTE: Prior to and while in use, particularly in extreme weather conditions (i.e.
blizzards, high winds, etc.) –guard against debris (pebbles, twigs, packed snow, ice, mud, etc.) becoming lodged in any
of the component assemblies as well as any buildup on the straps, as debris / build up could block or restrict proper
function. If noted, ensure unit is clear. Test for slippage by connecting and properly adjusting the SuperSqueeze /
EZSqueeze to the pole and your body belt. While grasping the pole, gradually shift your weight onto the SuperSqueeze /
EZSqueeze. The SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze should cinch tightly around the pole verifying its adequacy for ascent or
descent.
5. Both Inner and Outer Straps are not worn to the point of showing the warning center.
6. The Cleat on the Outer Strap is in place. Do Not Use if this cleat is missing as unit will not function as designed.
7. Rivets are not loose, or missing.
8. Ensure the wear guard is in the correct location and not excessively worn.
Remove from service, destroy, discard and replace immediately any unit that does
not pass the above inspection.
OPERATION:
1. HOW TO MOUNT THE SUPERSQUEEZE / EZSQUEEZE TO THE
BODY BELT:
The user must connect each Locking Carabiner / Snaphook of the Inner Strap
(Rope or Woven) to each of the body belt D-Rings. (Fig.1) With each use, visually check that Carabiners / Snaphooks freely engage
the body belt D-rings and that the keeper / gate is completely closed. Never rely solely on the feel or sound of a snaphook or carabiner
engaging.
2. HOW TO MOUNT THE SUPERSQUEEZE / EZSQUEEZE ONTO THE POLE TO BEGIN:

The SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze can be mounted onto the pole for either a right handed or left handed user. Note: Depending on its
position, the EZSqueeze WebGrab BuckHorn may require relocation to suit. (See: “Instructions for changing the WebGrab
BuckHorn location” section of these instructions). The User can hold the brown Outer Strap handle (SuperSqueeze) / Outer Strap
Loop Handle (EZSqueeze) in one hand and the Serrated Rotosnap in the opposite hand. With the Serrated Rotosnap disconnected
from the eye of the WebGrab cam wrap the outer strap around the back of the pole, slide the WebGrab from behind or the side of
the pole towards your body until it can be clearly seen (Fig. 2a) and to ensure proper attachment of Serrated Rotosnap to the eye of
the WebGrab cam. Then connect the Serrated Rotosnap to the eye of the WebGrab. With each connection, visually check that the
Serrated Rotosnap engages the WebGrab cam eye and that the keeper / gate is completely closed and facing outward. Never rely
solely on the feel or sound of the Serrated Rotosnap engaging.
Note: Proper operation requires gate of the Serrated Rotosnap to be fully
rotated prior to opening.

3. HOW TO ADJUST THE LENGTH OF THE OUTER STRAP (BROWN):
The position of the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze hardware components on the pole are critical for proper operation. The
triangular rivet pattern on the D-ring side of the Outer Strap and the Serrated Rotosnap Locator Rib are used as locators to
position the hardware on the pole (See Fig. 3a and 3b).
Triangular Rivet Pattern Fig. 3a Serrated Rotosnap (Locator Rib) Fig. 3b
Consider the circumference of the pole to be the face of a clock. Place the triangular rivet pattern of the brown Outer Strap
at the 3:00 or 9:00 o’clock position on one side and the Serrated Rotosnap Locator Rib at either 9:00 or 3:00 o’clock
position on the opposite side (Fig.4)
Ideal Placements are at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. Never allow the
locators to fall within the hazardous zone defined between the 4:00 to
8:00 o’clock positions (see Fig.4).
To adjust the Outer Strap to the proper circumference, after mounting
the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze onto the pole, slide the WebGrab along
the brown Outer Strap until the hardware is properly located on the pole as
shown in Fig.3a, 3b, and 4.
It is imperative that the hardware be properly adjusted around the
pole (Fig 4a - 4b). Failure to do so (Fig 4c –4d) could result in a fall.

5. HOW TO ADJUST THE SUPERSQUEEZE / EZSQUEEZE TO CLIMB
Ensure:
a. Each of the two Locking Carabiners / Snaphooks of the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze are attached to each side D-ring of
your body belt and the gates are completely closed and facing outwards.
b. The outer Strap of the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze is around the pole and the Serrated Rotosnap of the Inner Strap is
attached to the eye of the WebGrab.
c. Hardware components are positioned at the 3:00 and 9:00 position.
d. While at ground level with the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze even with the D-rings of your body belt, the Inner Strap
(Rope or Woven Web) is adjusted so you are in an ideal climbing position. This is typically measured by placing your
elbow into your stomach with fingers outstretched touching the pole.
6. HOW TO HOLD THE SUPERSQUEEZE / EZSQUEEZE WHEN READY TO CLIMB:
Prior to initiating the climb, and with the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze properly adjusted at the 3:00 and 9:00 position,
grasp the Outer Strap Handle (SuperSqueeze) / Outer Strap Loop Handle (EZSqueeze) with one hand (Fig. 15a / 15b)
and the Serrated Rotosnap in the other (Fig. 16a / 16b). Spread the hardware slightly (1” max) away from the pole and
lift the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze to chest height. (NOTE: the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze must remain snug to the
pole) (Fig.15a, 15b, 16a and 16b).

7. HOW TO HITCHHIKE:
a. To initiate the ascent, set the 1st climber gaff approximately 10” up the pole and the 2nd climber gaff approximately 10”
above the first. With the gaffs set, flip the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze up to chest height (Fig.17) using either forearm and
elbow motion or shoulder and arm motion.
b. With the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze adjusted around the pole at chest height take a short step or two with climbers to
ascend. Then with the gaffs set, again flip the SuperSqueeze up to chest height (Fig.17). Repeat the described procedure
until at the desired height.
c. To descend, perform steps 7a & 7b above in reverse.
NOTE: The inner strap (Rope or Woven Web) must always be snug around the pole when climbing. Also, shortening the inner
strap and by flipping the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze shorter distances makes climbing less strenuous. Flipping the strap
approximately the same distance that you can bend your elbows may aid in reducing stress on your body.
8. ADJUSTING THE SUPERSQUEEZE / EZSQUEEZE TO THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE POLE.
a. Pole circumference changes encountered as you ascend or descend the pole requires Outer Strap length adjustment to keep
the hardware in the 3 and 9 o’clock positions.
b. To shorten, grasp the brown Outer Strap behind the WebGrab and pull towards the back of the pole (away from your
body). This will cause the WebGrab to adjust towards the pole shortening the Outer Strap (Fig.18).
c. To lengthen:
(1) the SuperSqueeze, lean slightly towards the pole taking tension off the strap to relax tension on the WebGrab Cam.
Gradually depress the WebGrab Cam towards the pole (Fig.19a) while slowly leaning back, until you have adjusted it to
your desired length.
(2) the EZSqueeze, use the palm of your hand to tap the WebGrab BuckHorn away from you and towards the back of the
pole (Fig. 19b). This will lengthen the Outer strap approx. a ½” with each tap. Continue until you have adjusted it to your
desired length. Note: You do not have to take tension off of the EZSqueeze to make this adjustment.
d. Alternate method to lengthen the EZSqueeze: Relax tension on the WebGrab Cam by leaning slightly towards the pole and
take tension off the strap. Hook your thumb on the WebGrab BuckHorn and twist WebGrab frame towards the pole
(Fig.19c) while slowly leaning back, until you have adjusted it to your desired length.

(Read carefully, understand and heed all instructions and warnings included with that device before using this equipment).
10. HOW TO CLIMB OVER AN OBSTRUCTION DURING AN ASCENT WITH A SECONDARY
LANYARD OR STRAP.
Ensure secondary lanyard device is properly attached to body belt. (Always read carefully, understand
and heed all instructions and warnings included with that device before using this equipment). To ease
transitioning over obstructions, step up the pole so chest position is approximately at the same height as
the top of the obstruction.
a.) With obstruction at approximately chest height, adjust secondary lanyard to length so that it will pass
around the pole, over the obstruction and back to the opposite side body belt D-ring. If using a
retractable lanyard, extract webbing from its housing using two hands, one on the snaphook or
carabiner and the other assisting the webbing.
b.) Place the secondary lanyard around the pole, over the obstruction and connect the snaphook or
carabiner back to the opposite side body belt D-ring. Take a couple of steps up and minimize the fall
distance by re-adjusting the length of the secondary lanyard. If using a retractable lanyard, lock the
retractable with a quick tug on the web.
c.) Once the secondary lanyard is secured over the obstruction, adjust the WPFRD by compressing the
WebGrab Cam and lengthen the Outer Strap to disconnect the Serrated Rotosnap from the
WebGrab. Disconnect the Serrated Rotosnap from the WebGrab and place the outer and inner strap
of SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze on top of the secondary lanyard so both hands are free.
d.) Wrap the outer strap around the back of the pole and over the obstruction, slide the WebGrab from
behind or the side of the pole towards your body until it can be clearly seen (Fig. 2a) and to ensure
proper attachment of Serrated Rotosnap to the eye of the WebGrab cam.
e.) Then connect the Serrated Rotosnap to the eye of the WebGrab above both the obstruction and the
secondary lanyard. With each connection, visually check that the Serrated Rotosnap engages the
WebGrab cam eye and that the keeper / gate is completely closed. Never rely solely on the feel or
sound of the Serrated Rotosnap engaging.
f.) Adjust the Outer Strap so the hardware locators are at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions ensuring that the Inner Strap is snug to
the pole as shown below. (See instruction 3 for more details).

g.) Once the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze is properly secured, lengthen the adjustment of the
secondary lanyard transferring your weight back into the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze, then
disconnect the secondary lanyard above the obstruction and continue the ascent.
11. HOW TO DESCEND PAST AN OBSTRUCTION WITH A SECONDARY LANYARD OR STRAP.
a.) As the user descends and comes to an obstruction, adjust secondary lanyard to length so
that it will pass around the pole, over the obstruction and back to the opposite side body
belt D-ring. Then simply secure the secondary lanyard around the pole and above the
obstruction and below the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze. If using a retractable lanyard,
extract webbing from its housing using two hands, one on the snaphook or carabiner and
the other assisting the webbing.
b.) Connect the secondary lanyard snaphook or carabiner back to the opposite side body belt
D-ring.
c.) Minimize the fall distance by re-adjusting the length of the secondary lanyard. If using a
retractable, lock the retractable with a quick tug on the web.
d.) With the secondary lanyard secured, compress the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze WebGrab
Cam to lengthen the Outer Strap of the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze to ease removal.
e.) Disconnect the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze Serrated Rotosnap from the WebGrab.
f.) Wrap the outer strap around the back of the pole and under the obstruction, slide the WebGrab from
behind or the side of the pole towards your body until it can be clearly seen (Fig. 2a) and to ensure
proper attachment of Serrated Rotosnap to the eye of the WebGrab cam. Then connect the Serrated
Rotosnap to the eye of the WebGrab below both the obstruction and the secondary lanyard.
With each connection, visually check that the Serrated Rotosnap engages the WebGrab cam eye and
that the keeper / gate is completely closed. Never rely solely on the feel or sound of the Serrated
Rotosnap engaging.
g.) Readjust the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze so the hardware locators are set at the 3 and 9 o’clock
positions and readjust the Inner Strap until snug (See instruction 3 & 4 for more details).
h.) Lengthen the adjustment of the secondary lanyard transferring your weight back into the
SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze.
i.) Disconnect the secondary lanyard from above the obstruction and continue the descent.
12. HOW TO PERFORM A HURTMAN RESCUE
a.) Once the victim has been secured using the method described by users
employers safety practice, either the Outer Strap (brown neoprene impregnated
nylon) or the Inner Strap (woven web) may be cut to release the victim from the pole.
b.) Generally the Inner Strap will have a gap and be easier to cut (See example at right).
c.) Ensure the victim has been properly secured as outlined by users employers safety
practice prior to cutting either strap.
13. Addendum instructions for using the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze to
climb wood poles wrapped in bird wire or a pole with a significant
amount of gaff splinters.
a) To initiate the climb, grasp approximately 2” of inner woven nylon between your
fingertips and the Outer Strap Handle
(SuperSqueeze) / Outer Strap Loop Handle (EZSqueeze).
b) To climb, spread Outer Strap Handle (SuperSqueeze) / Outer Strap Loop Handle (EZSqueeze) and Serrated Rotosnap just far
enough apart to clear the bird wire or splinters and advance the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze up to approximately chest height
which will tighten the inner woven web strap on pole and set SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze.
c). Using your gaffs, take two steps up the pole until the SuperSqueeze / EZSqueeze is approximately even with your waist.
Then with your gaffs set firmly in the pole, repeat step b as necessary to complete ascent.
