Secure the Stabilizing Straps
to Ladder
STEP 3: Clear the area on which you plan on placing the treestand. Remove all leaves, sticks, rocks and debris in a 5 to 6 foot perimeter.
NOTE: The bottom section of the ladderstand will be placed here on the cleared, clean, level area.
STEP 4: Position the bottom ladder section in this cleared area (approximately 5’ from the base of the tree trunk) and have one (1) adult
stand on bottom rung of the bottom ladder section. The adult who is positioned on the bottom rung must control the stabilizing straps
and the treestand as it is erected. The two (2) other adults shall gently walk the treestand assembly up and into position as shown in
Figure 28. Once erect, make certain the tree blade is centered on the tree trunk as shown in Figure 29.
STEP 5: Make sure the ladder is not straight, but has about 15 degrees of angle as shown in Figure 30. This will put the bottom of ladder
approximately 5 feet from the tree as shown in Figure 30. NOTE: The seat and standing platforms must be level for a proper and safe
installation.

WARNING! You must check the ground under the treestand to make sure it is firm and level. Sloping ground or uneven
surfaces (e.g., one foot on a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift off the tree as you climb. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious injury or death!

STEP 6: Have one (1) adult place their weight on the bottom ladder rung. Doing so shall seat the ladder into the ground. NOTE: The
bottom ladder rung must be flush with the ground for safe operation.
STEP 7: With the top stabilizer straps installed as previously outlined, slip the tree belt through the loops on the bottom of the stabilizing
straps (as shown in Figure 31), thread the cam buckle as shown in Figure 32 and cinch the tree belt tight. Make certain the tree belt
is not twisted and is very tight. With the tree belt installed and tightened, and while standing on the ground, pull the two (2) stabilizing
straps tight. Do not over-tighten.
