Operator's Manual

XL Ladder Stand

SETUP AND USE INSTRUCTIONS

1.   With assembled product lying on the ground, position one 

person at bottom end of ladder lying on the ground. This 

person has to prevent the ladder end from tilting up when 

platform end is lifted and prevent the ladder from skidding 

across ground.

2.   a. Position two people at the platform end of the ladder, 

lift the platform end and continue uprighting by walking 

toward bottom end of ladder and moving hands along 

ladder legs. Stand ladder up against chosen straight tree 

on dry, level ground. Use caution when ladder comes over 

center against the tree. SEE FIGURE 10A

  b. Step back and look at the ladder top to see that it is level. 

Adjust as needed to achieve a level platform top. Make sure 

tree blade is contacting tree. SEE FIGURE 10B

  c. Step down hard on bottom step to push ladder legs into 

the ground. SEE FIGURE 10C

3.  While two people hold the stand in place, the third person 

should connect the horizontal stabilizer bar to the tree. 

Adjust the length of the stabilizer bar as need so it contacts 

the tree and is level to the ground. Then secure it to the 

tree with the 6' cam strap (40) by forming a cinch knot with 

both ends of the strap and running the long end of the 

strap through the cam buckle. SEE FIGURES 11 and 12.

 

During installation and removal of ladder treestands, you 

must always and properly use the included Full Body Harness 

(Fall Arrest System). Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions 

included with this product for proper use.
