Visit www.MaltaDynamics.com for the latest user 

instruction manual based upon date of manufacture.

Anytime  you  are  ascending,  descending,  or  hunting  from  an
elevated  platform,  make  sure  that  you  are  secured  to  the  tree  the
moment  you  leave  the  ground  until  the  moment  you  return  to  the
ground.  This  should  be  accomplished  with  the  use  of  one  or  more
of  the  following:  The  optional  Lineman’s  Climbing  Strap  and  tree
strap  combination  (to  stay  doubly  attached  to  the  tree),  or  the
optional    Lifeline.

• Always  use  the  optional 

Hunter's  Elite

  Lineman’s  Climbing  Strap

and  tether/tree strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions

when hanging

 

a fixed position, hang-on style treestand.

• When hanging or removing climbing aids or treestands, the Lineman’s

Climbing  Strap  must  always  be  used  in  conjunction  with  the  tree
strap  and  tether  provided  with  the 

Hunter's  Elite  harness

.  To

maximize  safety,

 

always  attach  the  harness’  tether  and  tree  strap

to  the  tree  along

 

with  the  optional  lineman’s  climbing  strap,

staying  doubly  attached

 

while climbing, hanging, or securing a

treestand, ladder stick or other

 

accessories to/from the tree.

• Always maintain 3-point contact when climbing up or down a tree using

climbing aids. Proper 3-point contact means having either two feet with

one hand or one foot with two hands on the steps of your climbing aid

at all times when climbing up/down or in and out of the treestand.

• When  moving  to  gain  access  into  the  treestand  with  the  optional

Lineman’s  Climbing  Strap  and  tether/tree  strap  still  attached  to  the
tree, remove and reattach the tree strap to the tree at a point located
above the treestand before disconnecting the lineman’s climbing strap.
Once securely attached to the tree by the tether, remove the lineman’s
climbing  strap  and  climb  above  the  base  of  the  treestand.  Reattach
the  lineman’s  strap  to  the  tree  and  stay  doubly  attached  to  the  tree
while stepping down into the center of the treestand. Remain doubly
attached until you are secure in the stand. Then remove the lineman’s
climbing strap.

• The 

Hunter's Elite

 harness is only considered a fall restraint device when

all waist and leg buckles are closed securely and adjusted comfortably
snug in place around the body, and the harness is attached firmly to the
tree by the tether according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Leg  straps  &  buckles  must  be  correctly  adjusted  and  in  the  proper

position between your legs (left strap/left leg, right strap/right leg), and

the waist buckle must be locked closed (and checked by pulling sharply

on it) from the time you leave the ground until you return to the ground.
