CHOOSING A SAFE TREE
PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Inspect for defects (damage, rot, corrosion, cracks, freezing, excessive heat, etc.) before every use is required. Do not use if damage is detected or
suspected.
• We recommend replacing all hardware/cables/nuts/bolts/clips on your tree stand every two (2) years or sooner if inspection finds it necessary. Use only
Primal Vantage approved replacement straps and parts. Use of any other straps or parts, will be viewed as a modification to the product. Any modification
will void the warranties and relieve Primal Vantage from all liabilities. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
•
DO NOT
overtighten the hardware.
DO NOT
use a socket wrench. This can lead to structural damage and may negatively affect the performance of your
stand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
