DELUXE Ladder Stand
WARNING
Bring ratchet strap(s) up with you in a pocket - Do Not
carry in your hands!
WARNING
Double check assembly steps to be certain you have
correctly assembled this product.
Study your new stand to become familiar with all of its
features and design. At ground level, following provided
use instructions, practice attaching stand to tree and
removing stand from tree. Practice sitting, standing, and
using this product before attaching overhead. Save these
instructions for future reference. You must always use the
provided Fall Arrest System (FAS) while using this product.
Always use at least three (3) people to install or take down
a ladder treestand. Always have two people stabilize the
ladder before climbing to the platform the first time after
every set-up.
Be absolutely sure the tree blade(s) on stand and the
stabilizer bar are contacting tree before climbing ladder.
Stabilizer bar must always be correctly and securely
attached to ladder and tree before climbing ladder.
Make sure ladder bottom is firmly seated on dry, level
ground. Attach your harness tether to the tree before
securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto
platform. Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions.
Never ascend or descend ladder without criss-cross
straps/ropes securely holding ladder to tree and stabilizer
bar securely attached. Failure to correctly perform these
steps can cause the ladder to collapse/buckle-over
backwards during the initial ascent to attach ratchet strap
resulting in serious injury or death.
Always lean forward as you climb and attach your harness
to the tree before securing the platform to the tree and
stepping onto the platform.
WARNING
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when
climbing a ladder treestand. 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
ladder 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 stand on seat, it is designed for sitting only.
Do Not allow excessive strap buildup in ratchet as this
will prevent the ratchet teeth from engaging causing
slippage.
Always attach ratchet straps securely while using this
product!
If seat is removable, be certain it is securely attached
when in use.
Some models include a shooting rail. Never lean against,
lean over, or sit on shooting rail. It is designed as a
shooting rest only. Always be aware that the shooting rail
can swing to one side or pivot up and down.
Some models include a footrest, which is designed as a
footrest only. Never stand on footrest! Always be fully
aware of foot placement.
Some models include a multi-piece stabilizer bar system.
Be sure attachment hardware goes through both the
extension tube and the stabilizer bar.
