 2-Man 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).

signs of structural damage or wear.
