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.
