CLIMBING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE:

Images used are for demonstration purposes only and may not depict the actual product.

Before beginning to climb: Check that your harness is secure, check that cables are properly secured, and make sure that the seat 

straps on your seat section are off to the side, they should not obstruct the cable connecting to the tree in anyway while climbing.

Practice at ground level with your Full Body Harness.

Familiarize yourself with this product’s function so you feel comfortable with the climbing procedure.

1. 

LEAN

 on front bar of Seat Platform and lift your feet to raise Foot Platform. Push down to set Foot Platform in raised position. 

FIG.1

2. 

STAND AND LIFT

 up on Seat Platform to adjust it to a comfortable level. Push down to set Seat Platform in raised position. Raise 

your harness tether to take up the slack.

LEAN

 on front bar of Seat Platform and lift you feet to raise Foot Platform. Push down to set Foot Platform in raised position.

4. To continue climbing up tree, repeat steps 1 through 3. Continuously adjust your harness to keep strap above your head with minimum 

slack.

5. When you have reached a comfortable height to hunt from, Secure the Stabilizing Straps so they are tight in a sitting position. The 

pressure created on Seat Platform from securing the Stabilizing Straps will prevent Foot Platform from slipping down, should you decide 

to stand and take pressure off Seat Platform.

6. Carefully remove one foot at a time from the foot straps. Slowly turn around never taking both feet off of the foot platform, you 

MUST 

always have weight pressed on the foot platform.

7. Sit on the seat cushion, if any adjustment needs to be made to the seat placement, you 

MUST 

climb back to the ground and adjust on 

the ground. Using a safe hoist/lift system, raise your unloaded weapon.

8. To climb back down the tree, reverse the process, always ensuring you are constantly adjusting your harness tether as you move.
