loose.
• Inspect for any missing parts.
• Lubricate all pivot and slide together points with powder
graphite, petroleum jelly or silicone spray to prevent noise,
wear and rust.

• Using correct wrenches inspect all nut & bolt assembly
locations and snug up any that may be loose. Be careful not
to crush tubing when tightening!
• Inspect and check operation of all cables, cable ends, cord,

have no missing parts.
• Never modify your stand in any way by making repairs,
replacing parts, or altering adding or attaching anything to it
except if explicitly authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
WARNING
Read and perform all inspection and maintenance tasks
before each and every use. Replace any questionable
components immediately with RETI original replacement
parts.
Always
maintain three (3) points of contact when
Ascending or descending a ladder or climbing aid. Proper
three-point contact means having either two feet with
one hand or one foot with two hands on the step portion
of the ladder or climbing aid at all times.
Always
wear the appropriate footwear when using a
treestand or climbing aid. 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, climbing
aid or any of their components (tuck shoelaces into boots
before climbing).
Always
lean forward as you ascend or descend ladder or
climbing aid.
Never
Lean out over edge of device.
Double check assembly steps to be certain you have
correctly assembled this product.
Replace any and all treestand or climbing aid straps every
two years or when any signs of damage or wear exist
before.
Never
hold onto any section or pull on any section that is
not securely attached to the tree with the provided strap
and buckle.
Always
attach the cam strap assembly so the spring
loaded cam lever of the strap is facing away from the tree.
Never
touch the cam lever while putting weight on the
stick and/or climbing the stick as this could potentially
release the strap and remove that section from the tree.
Do Not
crush tubing when tightening bolt assemblies!
Identify and familiarize yourself with all parts before you
start.
Never
use any product that has not been maintained or
inspected properly - Your life depends on it!
Use a haul line to raise and lower the treestand.
Never
climb with anything on your back.
