stEP 5.
Once you
have installed your
climbing treestand
correctly (refer
to pages 13-15),
insert the tree belt
through the loop of
the tether (Fig. 5).
stEP 6.
Then, carefully wrap
the tree belt around the
tree at a height that allows
just enough slack for you
to sit comfortably in your
stand. Keeping the tether as
short as possible limits the
distance you will travel, in
the unlikely event you shall
experience a fall.
stEP 7.
To secure the tree belt, insert the free end up through
the slot in the buckle closest to opposite end of the tree belt,
then cross over the sliding mechanism and back down through
opposite slot, giving enough slack to move your tree tether up
the tree as you climb to your desired height.
stEP 8.
Once you have climbed to your desired height, as outlined in the
field installation instructions (pages 13-15), Pull on tree belt to secure and
test to make sure sliding mechanism engages, creating secure tree belt
placement (Fig. 8).
