USE
1.
When you get to your hunting height (do not
climb higher than 15 feet; it is unnecessary) and
you have assured that your treestand is level,
position your seat climber slightly below waist
level. Slightly lower will be more comfortable
but higher makes for less movement when you
stand.
2.
With your safety harness attached to the
tree above the climber, pull your feet, one at
a time, from their secured position under the
RapidClimb stirrups.
3.
Wrap the supplied green tourniquet buckle
strap (1” green strap with spring loaded buckle)
around the tree and through the seat frame as
shown in
figure 68
. Securely tighten the strap
to prevent the notched teeth area from losing
contact with the tree.
4.
Unhook the bungee cord that held the
seat back rest secure while you were climbing.
Position the seat back rest by wrapping each end
of the bungee cord around the climbing cable
and hooking the two hooks together as shown
in
figure 69
or by wrapping it around the tree.
The bungee cord will prevent the seat backrest
from falling forwards if you stand up.
5.
The treestand seat will provide maximum
comfort when the seat pad is near horizontal
rather than tipped down in the front. The seat
height can be easily raised (for bow hunting) or
lowered (for gun hunting) by adjusting the two
piece buckles up or down the webbing.
WARNING
!
NEVER DISCONNECT FROM YOUR SAFETY
HARNESS OR SAFETY LINE ONCE YOU LEAVE
THE GROUND!!
WARNING
!
ALWAYS position the safety harness to
minimize the amount of slack in the safety
line.
WARNING
!
DO NOT JUMP OR BOUNCE ON THE
PLATFORM OR SEAT to attempt to cause it to
“dig” into the tree. It is not necessary and
may cause you to inadvertently disengage the
platform or seat.
CLIMBING (continued)
9.
Once the platform is fully supporting your
weight you can disengage the seat climber and
raise it back up to just below waist height as
shown again in
figure 62 and figure 63
.
Repeat
steps 4-9
until you are at your hunting height.
Take your time ascending or descending
the tree - in addition to causing accidents,
hurrying causes more noise while climbing.
