STEP 8

9.  Pre-assemble the 16’ criss-cross straps (16) and 6’ 

ratchet strap (14) as follows: 

 

a.  Attach the two long ends of the 16’ criss-cross 

straps (16) to each side of the rear frame tube 

on each side of the seat platform tree blade (11). 

These long stabilizer straps should be attached by 

pulling the free end of the strap through the loop 

end of the strap to create a cinch knot around the 

frame tube. SEE FIGURES 8A AND 8B.  

b.  To aid in the ease of installation, pre-attach each 

end of the 6’ ratchet strap (14) to each side of the 

rear frame tube, just inside of the 16’ criss-cross 

strap (16) on both sides of the seat platform tree 

blade (11). Use the same method as listed in step 

a. This way each end of the main ratchet strap is 

pre-attached before the stand is lifted from the 

ground. SEE FIGURE 8B showing all four ends 

attached.

7.  Attach the stabilizer bar extension tube (7) to the 

middle ladder section (2) through the mounting 

bracket with one 1/4-20 X 1-1/2 IN bolts (20) and 

one 1/4-20 nut (24). SEE FIGURE 7

8.  Slide the stabilizer bar (9) into the extension tube 

(7) and attach the two pieces together using one 

1/4-20 X 1-1/2 IN bolt (20) and one wing nut (19). 

The bolt must go through both the extension tube 

(7) and stabilizer bar (9) at appropriate hole to 

achieve desired distance from tree. Adjustment in 

length may be needed when ladder is uprighted 

later in Installation and Use Instructions. SEE 

FIGURE 7.  

 

NOTE: Treestand should ALWAYS be fully 

assembled on the ground prior to mounting it in 

the tree.
