neck and attach the hook to your dog’s
regular collar. The safety collar prevents
snap-back if the dog’s collar or the hook
breaks, or if the leash disconnects from
your dog’s collar.
FALLS
Because the exi™ leash is
longer than regular leashes, your dog can
build up more speed and pull on it harder,
possibly pulling you to the ground.
• If your dog starts running away from you,
immediately press the brake button to keep
your dog from building up too much speed.
If your dog has already built up speed, you
will be pulled when you hit the brake or if
the dog reaches the end of the leash.
• Do not allow slack to build up in the tape/
belt – your dog may run and build up speed
until the slack runs out, suddenly pulling you.
• Have secure footing. Do not use the leash
while on wheels (for example, a bike,
skateboard or roller blades).
INJURIES TO BYSTANDERS
Bystanders are at risk of all of the injuries
described in this pamphlet. In particular, they
can be cut by the tape/cord if they contact it
or if it wraps around them. They might also
trip on the leash. Bystanders include runners,
people on skates or bikes … Pay special
attention to these bystanders as they may
approach at high speeds.
• Be aware of bystanders. They might not
notice the tape/cord. Control your dog and
keep the tape/cord away from them.
• When around other people or animals,
shorten the leash and keep your dog at your
side with the leash locked.
• Avoid using the exi™ leash near small
children, including children in strollers.
• If the tape/cord gets wrapped around
someone, tell them not to touch the tape/
cord. Gain control of your dog and do not
touch the tape/cord if your dog can pull on it.
• Do not allow slack to build up in the tape/
cord – you might get tangled in the slack.
• Do not touch the tape/cord if the tape/cord
wraps around you. Turn around or pass
the handle from one hand to the other to
unwrap yourself. (See “Finger Amputation
and Fractures”)
• If you want to further reduce the risk of cuts
and burns, you can wear long sleeves and
pants to protect your arms and legs.
FINGER AMPUTATION AND FRACTURES
If the tape/cord wraps
around ngers or catches
on a ring, a hard pull on the
leash can amputate ngers
or break bones.
• Avoid touching the tape/
cord when the leash is
attached to your dog and never let the tape/
cord wrap around hands or ngers.
• Do not hold the tape/cord.
• Do not grab the tape/cord to control your dog.
Who can use this leash?
This leash should only be used by responsible
people who have read and can follow all of
these precautions. Anyone who uses this
leash must be able to control the dog and
watch the dog closely at all times to keep it
from running off or wrapping anyone in the
tape/cord. Keep out of reach of small children.
Never let anyone play with this leash.
Is this leash right for your dog?
• Do not use this leash with a disobedient
or uncontrollable dog, since they are more
likely to wrap the tape/cord around people
or to run off at high speeds.
• Only use this leash with a dog that does not
exceed the weight limit listed on the leash.
• Even small dogs can pull hard enough to
injure you, particularly because the length
of the leash allows dogs to run and build up
speed. Follow all of these precautions even
with a small dog.
Consider where you will go
You can use the exi™ retractable leash
Special Precautions
• If the tape/cord gets entangled in a bush or
other object, gain control of your dog before
disentangling it. Do not touch the tape/cord
if your dog can pull on it.
• If you want to further reduce the risk of
nger amputation and fractures, you can
take off any rings and wear sturdy gloves.
EYE AND FACE INJURIES
If the leash or your dog’s collar breaks, or if
the leash disconnects from your dog’s collar,
the tape/cord and hook can snap back with
enough force to cause serious eye damage,
broken teeth, cuts, and bruises. If the tape/
cord is under enough tension, this can
happen even when the leash is locked.
• Follow instructions for inspecting, attaching
and detaching the leash in the “Directions”
portion of this pamphlet.
• Attach the safety collar around your dog’s
anywhere you would normally go with your
dog. However, the leash is designed to give
your dog more freedom while on a leash. For
example, if you go to the vet, groomer or any
crowded place, you cannot give your dog the
additional freedom. You need to have the leash
fully retracted and the brake locked. (Please
refer to paragraph “Injury to Bystanders”). You
may want to consider using a regular, non
retractable leash in these circumstances.
Use this leash only as intended
• Follow the “Directions” section in this pamphlet.
• Never attach more than one dog to the
leash. Never use more than one exi™
leash at a time.
• Never attach any accessories to the leash
housing unless they are sold or approved
by exi™.
CUTS AND BURNS
If the tape/cord runs across your skin, it can
cause abrasions (like a rope burn) or severe
cuts. Cuts and burns are more likely if the
tape/cord wraps around any part of the body.
• Avoid contact with the tape/cord and never
let it wrap around any part of your body.
