Modifying harness.

[LumberJake]

Hi all.

 

I have the Komet Butterfly harness and I'm thinking of replacing the shackles that hold the bridge on to the gold rings that are used on the Petzl Sequoia. Can anyone see a problem with doing this and is it 'allowed' to be done?

 

Cheers, Jake

It will Void the CE mark on the harness if you modify the product with a non original part which was not made purposely for that item. I am not sure how it would stand with LOLER examination but i am sure someone will pop up with further info.

If you are one about the round rings that hold the bridge and other parts on a sequoia then you won't be able to as you can't buy the rings anywhere but petzl and they replace them for you.

 

I tried looking for these before.

 

If not then I don't know.

Of course if the shackles are worn and the harness in date still then you can replace them with a new pair

Had one if the tool loops break on my sequoia today, I moved in the tree with the saw hanging and it got stuck. MS200T dropped and got caught on some ivy which was lucky.

It's the first loop on the right hand side that I always clip the saw into, keep an eye on them boys !

Actually I think this is going to change when the new version comes out...think they rings are going to be available seperately, might be wrong though.

Interesting.

 

Hope so as I could find a million uses for those rings.
