Operator's Manual
Hang-On Stands
WARNING
Climbing aids (stick ladders, sectional ladders, steps, etc.)
must extend above the platform to allow the user to step
down onto the platform.
Never
step up to your stand from
a climbing aid. To ensure that you step down onto the
platform, the maximum recommended use height is five
feet less than the height of the climbing aid being used.
Do Not
use this product until you have watched the
included treestand safety DVD, understand it, and practiced
the techniques for safe hunting discussed in this DVD.
Read and perform all inspection and maintenance tasks
before each and every use. Replace any questionable
components immediately with RETI original replacement
parts.
Do Not
crush tubing when tightening bolt assemblies!
Identify and familiarize yourself with all parts before you
start. A bolt identification cart can be found in the back.
Double check assembly steps to be certain you have
correctly assembled this product.
Never
use any product that has not been maintained or
inspected properly - Your life depends on it!
Replace any and all treestand straps every two years or
when signs of damage or wear exist before.
Do Not
use any type of after market hanging assists,
bracket mount systems or any other type of mechanism
to attach your hang-on treestand to a tree. These types of
devices can negatively affect the stability of the treestand
in the tree and reduce or prevent proper tightening, tree
adhesion and performance of the treestand to the tree
which can lead to serious injury or death.
Platform must be folded up to remove stand! This allows
slack in strap for removal.
Always
climb tree on the float buckle side of this treestand.
Visually inspect that both sewn loop attachments are
securely connected to be assured you have correctly
attached stand to tree as per instructions and Figures.
Always
wear the appropriate footwear when using a hang-
on treestand. A good non-slip safety boot is important to
your personal safety. Be especially careful that boot laces
do not get hooked on the stand or any of its components
(tuck shoelaces into boots before climbing).
Never
touch or move buckle while stand is in use.
