with your full-body fall arrest tether to the tree trunk as shown in Figure 38. Now you
can place the ratchet strap around the tree hooking one end to the left side of the tree
blade and the other end to the right side of the tree blade and ratchet tight as shown in
Figure 39. Ratchet threading instructions may be found in Figure 40. NOTE: Do not put
any of your weight on the seat until the seat assembly ratchet strap has been secured.
WARNING! DO NOT place more than fifteen (15) pounds (7 kg) of weight on the footrest,
shooting rail or seat back. DO NOT attempt to use any of these as a handhold or to pull

(climb up) and while descending (climb down). Failure to maintain three points of
contact puts the user at serious risk of bodily injury. Failure to follow these instructions
will result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! As you approach the top of the ladder, attach your full-body fall arrest harness
tether to the tree trunk as soon as possible. After your tether has been attached to the tree,
attach the ratchet straps to secure the top of the stand to the tree. Failure to follow these
