Operator's Manual

UPPER CUT 1-MAN Ladder Stand

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 or 

wear.

•  Inspect for any structural damage to product. (If any exists 

stop use immediately and 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. (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 RETI  original replacement parts any item or assembly 

that shows signs of wear, damage, kinking, or functions 

incorrectly.

•  Inspect seat for damage or wear. Replace any seat with 

factory new that shows signs of structural damage or wear.

•  Never modify your stand in any way by making repairs, 

replacing parts, or altering by adding or attaching anything 

to it except if explicitly authorized in writing by the 

manufacturer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

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 

online safety video, understand it, and practiced the 

techniques for safe hunting discussed in this video. Video 

can be found with the QR code and/or URL shown on 

front cover of this manual.
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).

WARNING

Only

 use approved RETI parts. Failure to do so may result 

in serious injury or death!
