CLIMBING UP WITH YOUR NEW STAND
ALWAYS refer to the written FBFAHS instructions
and videos for proper and safe use of your FBFAHS
before climbing.
1.
Following the FBFAHS Instructions, attach the
harness tether to the tether strap. Loop the strap
around the tree to secure it. See
figure 36
.
2.
Your RapidClimb stirrups and bungee heel cord
should be already attached to your treestand. To use,
back your heel into the bungee heel cord (
figure 37
)
then simply slide your boot under the RapidClimb
stirrup. Make sure that your boot is secure under the
stirrup as shown in
figure 38
.
3.
On the Explorer, hook the seat back elastic bungee
cord around the seat as shown in
figure 39
to keep it
secure while you climb. On the Sentry, pivot the seat
down to sit or leave it against the V-Brace to stand.
4.
To begin climbing, raise your seat climber up to
just below waist height and grasp the upright arms
very firmly as shown in
figure 40.
NOTE: On the Sentry models, use the green
tourniquet strap to secure the seat frame in the up
position.
WARNING
!
At this point IT IS MANDATORY AND REQUIRED
that you attach your FBFAHS to the tree and
remain connected at all times after leaving the
ground.
