Instructions for your specific
treestand model), feed the
climbing belt through one
of the waist loops and wrap
the free end around the
tree. Then feed opposite
end through the opposite
waist loop and use three bar
buckle method described in
Fig 4 to secure (Fig. 5).

Once you
have reached your
desired height,
insert the tree belt
through the loop of
the tether (Fig. 6).

as possible limits the distance
you will travel, in the unlikely
event you shall experience a
fall.

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.
