Usage Instructions
In order to use the chair safely, it is important that it is fitted correctly. The bosun’s chair is worn under your legs and then the straps and safety belts are adjusted giving you a good fit but it is not too loose or tight. Under no circumstances should you use a snap hook instead of halyard, as it is not as strong and cannot hold much weight. The harnesses should have a perfect fit on your body. For your safety, Lalizas suggest that you also use a special safety harness in combination with the bosun’s chair.
Maintenance
Like all Lalizas products, bosun’s chairs are constructed according to the highest quality construction standards, so that they last and offer you safety, without being uncomfortable. Nevertheless, you should take care of your bosun’s chair in order to maintain all its functions. Such products should not come in contact with extreme temperatures and sharp surfaces. Also after each use, they should be washed in clear water. If you do not use it properly and you notice any cuts or tears on the chair or its straps, you should replace it immediately.
