SeaSure TRAPEZE HOOK

Safety Information

Safety Instructions for the SeaSure Trapeze Hook
Safe Usage Guidelines
Proper Installation and Use
The SeaSure trapeze hook should always be used with a trapeze harness in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ensure the hook is securely attached to the harness and cannot become loose during sailing.
Attach the hook only to trapeze safety lines that are appropriately selected and comply with the recommendations for the specific equipment.
Safe Handling While Sailing
Regularly check that the hook is not obstructed by lines or other equipment, as this could restrict movement.
While using the hook, be cautious of potential snagging on rigging – avoid sudden movements that could damage the equipment or cause a loss of balance.
Do not use the trapeze hook for purposes other than its intended use, such as lifting heavy objects.
Usage Limitations
Prohibited Applications
The hook is not intended for personal safety purposes, such as climbing, rescue operations, or work at heights.
The hook should only be used under the conditions specified in the technical documentation.
Maintenance and Storage
Cleaning
After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the hook thoroughly with clean water to prevent corrosion.
Remove any debris, such as sand or salt, that could interfere with the proper functioning of the mechanisms.
Storage
Store the hook in a dry place, away from moisture and chemicals that could accelerate wear and tear.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Regular Inspection
Before each use, check the hook for cracks, deformations, or signs of corrosion.
Ensure that all moving parts (if present) operate smoothly and are not jammed.
If any damage is detected, replace the hook with a new one – repairs may compromise its strength and safety.
Emergency Situations
Issues with Release
If the hook becomes jammed on the trapeze line, avoid forcibly detaching it – this could damage both the hook and the line. Use the emergency release mechanism if your trapeze harness is equipped with one.
In case of danger, disconnect from the trapeze according to established sailing safety procedures.
Additional Recommendations
Use only trapeze hooks suitable for your type of sailboat and compliant with safety standards.
Regularly test your equipment in controlled conditions to ensure everything functions correctly.
Follow safety guidelines during trapeze maneuvers – avoid overloading the hook beyond its rated strength.
Contact in Case of Issues
If a defect is detected or you have questions about usage, contact SeaSure or an authorized retailer.
Do not attempt self-repairs, as these may compromise safety.
