very easy onto soft ground rope goes through bottom shackle before going round pulley

or if wanting to lower my fav is a climbers chalk bag with throwline in and when either pruned one side or at the end clip it to rope guide and thow the bag out over canopy of tree

hope that makes sense

[John Shutler]

so you hitch the ball retriever through spliced eye, it pulls through pully and hits shackle

[Tree cutter Stu]

make sure you dont have the rope guide chocked to tight let it dangle with a bit of slack if the makes sense.

you got it sir

though splices often get stuck as well if it comes easy though depend on splice and shrink tubing

also if you cinch it up tight it will not retrieve the more slack the easier it retrieves

[Steve Bullman]

i take the shrink wrap off mine.

 

which model did you get john?

[John Shutler]

Just enjoy it, and try not to spend too much time wondering why you never bought one before.
