BOWMAN Ladder Stand
1. Select a straight, healthy tree. Do not attempt to install on a tree
that is not healthy.
2. 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.
3. 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 11A.
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 11B.
c. Step down hard on bottom step to push ladder legs into the
ground. SEE FIGURE 11C.
4. 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 (31) 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 12
AND 13.
