ADJUSTABLE
LEVELING STEM
OPERATION
You must hunt from level, uncanted seat
s
and standing platforms. Your new True North Treestands Inc. treestand is equipped with an adjustable
leveling stem
. This adjustable tree brace allows you to adjust the angle of your treestand installation to give you the most level of hunting
platform. Proper adjustment of this adjustable
leveling stem
is critical to safe operation of your treestand.
NOTE: The adjustable
leveling stem
MUST be in contact with the tree trunk when the treestand is installed. This brace provides a solid installation
foundation. If it is not in contact with the tree trunk, your treestand is NOT installed correctly and may fail. YOU MUST ENSURE THIS
LEVELING STEM
IS IN
FIRM CONTACT WITH THE TREE FOLLOWING INSTALLATION. IF IT IS NOT, REMOVE YOUR TREESTAND AND REINSTALL UNTIL IT IS IN FIRM CONTACT WITH THE
TREE TRUNK. FIGURE 38 OUTLINES THE OPERATION OF THE ADJUSTABLE
