WARNING! You must wear and properly use the full-body fall arrest lineman belt which is provided with this True North
Treestands Inc. treestand. Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death!
STEP 1: Locate the full-body fall arrest harness lineman belt (refer to Figure 1). Please note, the lineman belt is a two-piece
design. One side short, with a sewn-loop tag-end and buckle (“buckle strap”). The other side, a long strap with a tag-end and
sewn-loop end (“long strap”). With your full-body fall arrest harness donned as previously outlined in this Instruction Manual,
slip the sewn-loop end of the buckle strap through the lineman belt loop (refer to Figure 1) on either the left or right side of the
harness. If you are right handed, it is recommended you install the buckle strap on your right side. And vice versa if left-handed.
This allows for ease-of-adjustment when climbing.
STEP 2: With the buckle strap installed, repeat STEP 1 for the long strap side on the OPPOSITE lineman belt loop.
STEP 3: Make certain both sides are cinched down tightly to the lineman belt loops.
WARNING! Both sides of the lineman belt must be tightly cinched down to the lineman belt loops. Failure to do so will
cause slippage leading to an unsafe condition. Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death!
STEP 4: When ready to climb to your treestand installation height, wrap the long strap around the tree trunk, threading
it into the buckle strap as shown in Figure 14.
STEP 5: Adjust the lineman belt so it is a comfortable length while attached to the tree trunk by lengthening or shortening the tag-end of the long strap.
