XL Ladder Stand

WARNING

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.
Never exceed the stated maximum use height.
Do Not use this product until you have watched the 

included treestand safety DVD, understand it, and 

practiced the techniques for safe hunting discussed in 

this DVD.
Read and perform all inspection and maintenance tasks 

before each and every use. Replace any questionable 

components immediately with RETI original replacement 

parts.
Do Not crush tubing when tightening bolt assemblies! 

Identify and familiarize yourself with all parts before you 

start. Bolt identification chart can be found in the back.
Double check assembly steps to be certain you have 

correctly assembled this product.
Never use any product that has not been maintained or 

inspected properly - Your life depends on it!
Replace any and all treestand straps every two years or 

when any signs of damage or wear exist before.
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).

BEFORE EACH USE PERFORM THE FOLLOWING:

•  Inspect all webbing, rope, cord, and strap assemblies for 

wear or damage.

•  Inspect cables and/or cable ends for damage or kinking.
•  Inspect all hardware and chain components for damage.
•  Inspect for any structural damage to product. (If any exists 

call RETI customer service.)

•  Inspect all nut and bolt assemblies to be certain none are 

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.

•  Inspect entire product for any rust, corrosion, cracks, 

freezing, excessive heat or rotting damage that may effect 

the safety of your product. Discard any questionable 

product.

•  Inspect entire product for any structural damage - pay 

close attention to all weld locations. (Return to factory for 

repair or discard product if any damage is found.)

•  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, 

rope, webbing, and strap or chain assemblies. Replace with 

factory new any item or assembly that shows signs of wear, 

damage, kinking, or functions incorrectly.

•  Inspect seat. Replace any seat with factory new that shows 

signs of structural damage or wear.

•  Inspect all hardware for wear or damage, also be sure you 

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

Only use approved RETI parts. Failure to do so may result 

in serious injury or death!
