WARNING
When hunting from a treestand falls can occur any
time after leaving the ground causing injury or death.
Always wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) comprising a full
body harness at all times after leaving the ground. You
must stay connected at all times after leaving the ground
while using climbing and hang-on treestands. Single
safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed
and shall never be used. If you are not wearing a full body
harness properly attached to the tree that is protecting
you from a fall, do not leave the ground.
Read and understand all of the manufacturer’s Warnings
and Instructions and use all safety devices provided by
the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for any
questions. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
Never exceed the total weight limit of the treestand.
Never use a treestand during inclement weather such as
rain, lightning, windstorms or icy conditions and end your
hunt and return to the ground if inclement conditions arise.
Never use a treestand while using drugs (even
prescription drugs) or alcohol.
Never use a treestand while feeling ill, nauseous or dizzy,
or if you have a prior medical condition that could cause
a problem, that is, heart condition, joints that lock-up,
spinal fusions, etc., or if you are not well rested. Never
sleep in stand.
Never use a treestand on a dead, leaning, diseased or
loose barked tree, or a utility pole. Always avoid electrical
power lines.
Never rely on a tree branch for support.
WARNING
Never jump or bounce on a treestand to seat it to the tree.
Pull up a bow, backpack, or firearm or other equipment
only after being secure in the treestand and a firearm
must be pulled up with it unloaded, chamber open, and
muzzle down.
Always inform someone of the hunting location, where
the treestand will be located and the expected duration
of the hunt.
A signal device such as a mobile phone, radio, whistle,
signal flare or personal locator device (PLD) must be on
your person and readily available at all times.
Inspect the treestand and all safety devices each time
before use and Do Not store a treestand outdoors when
not in use.
Never modify your treestand in any way by making
repairs, replacing parts, or altering it except if explicitly
authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Practice installing, adjusting and using your treestand at
ground level prior to using it at elevated positions. Study
your new stand to become familiar with all of its features
and design. Doing so will confirm that the product is
manufactured, assembled and installed correctly.
Instructions (written and video) shall be kept in a safe place
and reviewed at least annually. It is the responsibility of
the treestand owner to furnish the complete instructions
to any person who borrows or purchases the treestand.
Use at least three (3) people to install or take down a
ladder treestand.
The criss-cross straps/ropes and stabilization devices
must be attached before climbing to the platform.
When installing a ladder stand, always bounce on the
first rung to set the ladder into the ground according to
manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding to climb
any higher.
Check every ladder section connection every time you
use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder
sections are separating, do not use the stand.
Check the ground under the stand to make sure it is firm
and level. Sloping ground or uneven surface (one side on
a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift off the tree as
you climb.
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when
climbing a ladder treestand. Proper three-point contact
means having either two feet with one hand or one foot
with two hands on the step portion of the ladder or
climbing aid at all times.
