INSTALLATION AND USE

ATTACHING TO THE TREE

Step 1.  

Be sure that all tie ropes are hanging free.  

Place the assembled pole next to the tree so that the 
bottom oval and all other sections are the same distance 
from the tree (

See figure 6

.)  

Step 2. 

 The SwifTree must be straight and vertical 

before it can be used.  Carefully press your weight on 
the first wire rung of the bottom section until it settles 
firmly and completely into the ground.

Step 3. 

 On the bottom ladder section - wrap the 1/4” 

tie rope tightly around the tree as shown in 

figure 7

.  

This rope will be attached to the wire loop about 20” 
down from the end of the ladder section.  The rope 
MUST be wrapped around so that it makes a horizontal 
loop around the tree and so that it has no slack.  This 
can easily be done by pushing the ladder section so that 
the stand-off bracket is firmly against the tree before 
bringing the rope around.

Step 4. 

 Bring the rope through one side of the welded 

loop as shown in

 figure 8

.

!

CAUTION

All three stand-offs should contact the tree freely.  

DO NOT FORCE a stand-off to make contact by 
bending the ladder sections.  If this happens, 
reposition the SwifTree or locate a more suitable tree.
