In this configuration the pulleySAVER is placed around the structural anchor and the pulley is
passed through the soft eye. The Prusik loop does not pass through the soft eye. The pulley-
SAVER therefore grants great freedom of “swinging” movement in the tree. Note that the form
of the structure (e.g. a branch junction) retains the pulleySAVER in place.
This anchor device can be used in six different configurations:
It is the responsibility of the user to have sufficient understanding of the structure being clim-
bed to ensure that suitable anchor points are selected for fall protection. The user is responsi-
ble for selecting the appropriate configuration of pulleySAVER for the anchor point selected.
1. Double strand – Swinging
2. Choked
3. Double strand – Wrapped
4. Double strand – Constricted
5. Double strand – using the Prusik loop with thimble
6. Equalising anchor – using the equaLIZA
CAUTION!
Please make sure that the Pinto pulley and the thimble on the Prusik loop do not
contact one another, but that they are spaced at a distance from one another. Other-
wise, the thimble might be pulled into the pulley and damage it. (Fig. 0A and 0B )
Ad 1. Double strand – Swinging
MODES OF USE
fig. 1 fig. 2 fig. 3
MODES OF USE
�A work positioning system must always be maintained as taut as possible from the anchor
point to the belayed person (avoid rope slack).
�When working in fall arrest note that
- an energy absorber according to EN 355 is needed that reduces dynamic forces to max.
6 kN.
- the lanyard including fall arrest systems and connection elements must not exceed 2 m.
- a clearance of 7m underneath the user is needed to avoid ground impact.
fig. 0Bfig. 0A
11
MODES OF USE
Ad 2. Choked
This configuration can be adopted when the desired anchor
location is on a relatively featureless tree stem. In order to
choke the tree effectually the Prusik loop must be passed
through the soft eye. Note that lateral movement may incre-
ase or decrease the choking action. It is the responsibility
of the user to locate the anchor device appropriately in
relation to the anticipated site of work.
fig. 4
fig. 5
Beware that lateral movements by the climber may cause
the anchor device to migrate across the structure to a
location where it is no longer suitable for use as a fall pro-
tection anchor. It is the user’s responsibility to monitor the
anchor device.
The climbing rope should always be put through the thim-
ble which takes over the function of the retrieval snap.
The angles indicated on the label is observed!
Ad 3. Double strand – Wrapped
This configuration again allows the establishment of an
anchor on a relatively featureless stem. The pulleySAVER
must be wrapped tightly around the tree trunk to give suf-
ficient grab. The pulley is passed through the soft eye. The
Prusik loop does not pass through the soft eye. The bite of
the Prusik loop allows some freedom of movement for the
pulley.
fig. 6 fig.7
12
Note: Beware that lateral movements by the climber may cause the anchor device to migrate
across the structure to a location where it is no longer suitable for use as a fall protection
anchor. It is the user’s responsibility to monitor the anchor device. Please make sure that the
Pinto pulley and the thimble on the Prusik loop do not contact one another.
Ad 6. Equilizing anchor – using the equaLIZA
This mode of use is typically selected when the climber is not confident about the structural
strength of one anchor on its own, or when an anchor needs to be created between two exi-
sting points. (fig. 10)
Ad 4. Double strand – Constricted
The anchor device is shortened so that the pulley just
passes through the soft eye. This configuration is useful for
work positioning on stems when the climber is close to the
anchor point e.g. when removing sections from a vertical
stem.
The the soft eye may be loaded at all times, so that
problems may be experienced during retrieval i.e. when
attempting to pull the pulley through the soft eye. It may be
necessary to flick the climbing line (on the pulley) to allow
the pulley to pass through the soft eye.
fig. 8
Ad 5. Doubled – using both Prusik Loops with pulley and
thimble
In this configuration the Prusik Loop with thimble is not
only used for retrieval of the system but also as a load bea-
ring part of the anchor. The Soft Eye is not used.
Note: The Prusik Loop with thimble contains a core of
Dyneema®fibers that are not heat resistant. When installed
correctly, the friction hitch is positioned where needed and
remains in that position. Movement of a loaded friction can
lead to heat build up through friction/abrasion. Heat build-
up (>60°C) must be avoided.
The pulleySAVER is placed around the structural anchor
(tree/branch). The length of the pulleySAVER is adjusted
with the help of the two Prusik Loops. To ensure reliable
function, ensure that the Prusik knots are: Not in contact
with the structure; and Correctly tied, dressed and set.
fig. 9
MODES OF USE
13
MODES OF USE
Use our equaLIZA as auxiliary equipment. There are two tech-
niques to install the equaLIZA link:
1. Compress the soft eye of the pulleySAVER and slide on
the green Anchor Ring of the equaLIZA (fig.11). Allow
the soft eye to spring back into position and retain the
equaLIZA link (fig. 12).
2. Remove both Prusik loops from the pulleySAVER rope.
Slide the green Anchor Ring of the equaLIZA over the tail
of the pulleySAVER and up to the soft eye. Reinstall both
Prusik loops in the correct relative positions. (fig. 13-16)
Note that the combined strength of the two anchors points is
used to create a single „virtual“ anchor that can be adjusted
in length and will move as the climber changes work position. fig. 10
fig. 11 fig. 12 fig. 13
fig. 14 fig. 15 fig. 16
WARNING: The angle between the rope sections around the upper anchor points may be 120°
maximum to limit the load exerted on the rope sections. When selecting anchor points, ensure
that the pulleySAVER will be retained in position during the full range of operation and that it
cannot move out of position unintentionally. During retrieval of the system the Pulley is pulled
through two Soft Eyes - the pulleySAVER and the equaLIZA.
14
fig. 20 fig. 21
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.
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:
RETRIEVAL OF THE SYSTEM
fig. 19fig. 17 fig. 18
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.

WARNING / MOUNTING OF REPLACEMENT PARTS
WARNING
Components and sections of the pulleySAVER assembly coloured red are not rated for
fall protection.
Note the presence of red stitching on the Stopper and the Stopper Flap. Neither may be used
for fall protection.
Note the red Spacer on the Prusik Loop between the attachment holes of the Pulley. The red
spacer is not an anchor point and may not be used for fall protection!
MOUNTING OF REPLACEMENT PARTS
For replacement, it is imperative that you use only the replacement part approved by the
manufacturer. Before using the equipment again, be sure to verify that the spare part has been
replaced correctly. If you lack the experience, skills, and knowledge that are necessary for this
job, please consult a compentent person or the manufacturer.
At the end of the climb, it is necessary to hold the thin line when retrieving the pulleySAVER in
order to control its’ rate of descent!

PRODUCT INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO EN 795, CLASS B
According to EN 795, class B, the product is suited for a single person. Following the fall of
the belayed person, the rescuer may belay himself/herself at the anchor device that has already
been subjected to one fall. That is to say in type testing, dynamic load was tested twice in suc-
cession, without carrying out adjustments or other reconditioning work on the anchor device.
Warning: The structural anchor (tree / branch) must be suitable, too. Make an adequate esti-
mation taking into account type and condition of the tree etc.
Never carry out work with this product if, as a result of your physical and mental condition,
your safety might be compromised in scenarios of normal use or in emergencies!
Do not place this product near sharp edges!
Care should be taken to ensure that the rope (or any other part of the system) is routed away
from surfaces that may damage the rope (or any other component), or that suitable and suffici-
ent protection is appropriately placed to ensure the rope and other components are protected.
Keep away from surfaces which may cause damage to the the work equipment e.g.sharp or
abrasive surfaces or edges.
The anchor device shall be used for personal protective equipment and not for lifting devices -
as in rigging operations!
GRAB FUNCTION OF THE FRICTION HITCH
The friction hitch is a means of adjusting the length of the anchor device. In adverse condi-
tions or environments, the function the pulleySAVER may be affected. For example, greater
care may be needed to ensure that the friction hitch grabs reliably. Ice, mud, rain, cold, snow
and tree exudates are examples of localised or climatic conditions that may demand greater
attention from the user. Beware, tree exudates may create conditions similar to those made by
lubricants or adhesives. Contamination of ropes with tree exudates may lead to rope hardening
and reduce friction hitch grab reliability. Maintain ropes so that their function is reliable. Ideally,
ropes should always be dry, clean and perform equally along their entire length.
Great care shall be taken to ensure that objects (such as leaves or twigs) are not trapped by
the friction hitch. Friction levels may be lowered, the grab function may fail, resulting in a de-
scent until the friction hitch meets the stopper To minimise this risk, users shall select the site
of installation in the tree (and other structures where debris may be encountered) to avoid this
situation.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
LIMITATIONS OF USE

SECURITY
Check also at all times that objects (including karabiners, rope crossings, twigs etc.) do not
contact the top of the friction hitch and affect or eliminate the reliable grab function.
Modifications or additions to this product, apart from replacement of the spare parts as descri-
bed above, are unacceptable, unless done by the manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Please make sure that the Pinto pulley and the thimble on the Prusik loop do not
contact one another, but that they are spaced at a distance from one another. Other-
wise, the thimble might be pulled into the pulley and damage it.

e.g. pre-use checks, weekly inspections, thorough examinations (consult national legislation for
interval) and after exceptional circumstances.

SERVICE LIFE
the product was first taken out of the undamaged light-protected package, and the product
must be retired after no later than 2 years of having been used. It is assumed that the product
is taken out of the package at the time of the purchase. We recommend that you keep the ori-
ginal sales receipt which is the proof of purchase.
The theoretically possible total product life (correct storage prior to first removal + period of
use) is limited to 5 years from the date of manufacture.
It is available as a spare part („OD Loop 7mm T, Art. no. 7350606) at TEUFELBERGER
(www.teufelberger.com).
For the rope to which the Prusik knots are fastened and for the Prusik Loop with the pulley
the service life may extend to up to 5 years from the date of manufacture on condition that
the product is used infrequently (1 week per year) and stored properly (see section “Transport,
storage and cleaning”).
Aramids and Dyneema®are not UV resistant (incl. sunlight). Therefore, keep the rope protected
against UV and be sure to replace it immediately if discoloration, hardening, or yarn damage
(abrasion of fiber parts, fibrillation, bleaching, mechanical wear, etc.) occur.
The actual useful life depends solely on the condition of the product, which in turn is influenced
by various factors (see below). Extreme influences may shorten service life to a single use only
or to even less if the equipment is damaged prior to its first use (e.g. in transport).
Mechanical wear and other influences such as the impact of sunlight will decrease the life span
considerably. Bleached or abraded fibres, discoloration, and hardened spots are certain indica-
tors that the product needs to be retired.
It is clearly not possible to offer a general statement about the product’s service life, as such
life span depends on various factors, e.g. UV light, type and frequency of use, handling, cli-
matic influences such as ice or snow, environments such as salt, sand, battery acid etc., heat
contamination (above normal climatic conditions), mechanical deformation and/or distortion,…
(incomplete list!).
After use, the pulleySAVER must be removed from the tree. It is not designed for permanent
mounting on a tree. The lifetime of an installed anchor depends not only on the material of the
sling but also on the condition of the tree and on how the sling is attached.
In general, the following rule applies: If the user, for whatever reason – however insigni-
ficant it may seem – is uncertain whether or not the product meets all the necessary criteria,
either reject it from service and render unusable, or place in quarantine and label in an obvious
manner so that it cannot be used by mistake. Only return to service following the written autho-
risation of a competent person.
Withdraw equipment from service if it has been used to arrest a fall.
