LOCKDOWN 2-MAN Ladder Stand

INSTALLING THE RATCHET STRAPS (54)

19.  Be certain ladder bottom is firmly seated on dry, level ground. 

With two people securely holding the base of the ladder, use the 

three point contact climbing method to slowly climb the ladder 

and carefully keep a constant hand grip on the ladder at all times. 

Always lean forward, towards the tree, while climbing. Attach 

your harness tether to the tree before securing the platform to 

the tree with the provided ratchet straps. Refer to the Full Body 

Harness instructions included with this product.

 

NOTE: Bring large ratchet straps up with you in a pocket. DO 

NOT carry in your hands!

20.  Once platform is reached and safety harness is secured to the 

tree, hook S-hook with long strap through one of the holes 

provided in top tree blade. Feed the long strap through the 

center slot of ratcheting mechanism and back around through 

tightening lever. SEE FIGURES 12 A-B & 13.

21.  Wrap the ratchet assembly around the tree and hook other 

S-hook through opposite hole on top tree blade. Pull tail of long 

strap until most of the slack is taken out. Be sure entire strap is 

even and at the same level all around tree. “Ratchet” tight to tree. 

This will securely attach only the seat portion to the tree and 

prevent movement. SEE FIGURES 12-C & 13.

 

NOTE: To release ratchet, simply pull the release lever and open 

tightening lever wide open (flat). SEE FIGURE 12-D.

22.  Repeat previous two steps for the bottom tree blade attachment. 

Place S-hook through holes provided on bottom tree blade.

23.  To take the ladder stand down, first check the security of the 

ground level ratchets (27) and stabilizer straps (56). Then, with 

two people holding the bottom of the ladder, climb up, secure 

your safety harness to the tree and remove the top two ratchet 

straps (54). Then climb down and reverse the set-up and use 

instructions to complete the removal of the stand.
