WARNING
Sectional ladders and steps shall be spaced on the tree to
insure each step is no more than 18 in. (45.72 cm) apart.
Check every stick ladder section connection every time
you use the stick ladder before you leave the ground. If
stick ladder sections are separating,
Do Not
use the stick
ladder.
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!
