FULL-BODY FALL ARREST HARNESS SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS (TREE BELT)
STEP 1: Once you have reached your desired height, insert the tree
belt (refer to Figure 1 for identification) through the loop of the full-
body fall arrest harness tether loop as shown in Figure 9. Wrap the
tree belt around the tree at a height that allows just enough slack for
you to sit comfortably in your stand (as shown in Figure 10). NOTE:
Keeping the full-body fall arrest harness tether as short as possible
limits the distance you will travel in the unlikely event you should
experience a fall.
STEP 2: Secure the tree belt by inserting the tag (free-end) end
through the slot in the buckle closest to opposite end of the tree belt,
then cross over the sliding mechanism and back down through op-
posite slot. Pull on tree belt to secure and test to make sure sliding
mechanism engages, creating secure tree belt placement. Refer to
Figure 11 for proper tree belt buckle threading. YOU MUST thread the
tree belt buckle as shown in Figure 11. Failure to do so may result is
failure of the tree belt.
WARNING! YOU MUST thread the tree belt buckle as shown in Figure 11. Failure to thread the buckle as shown will result in the belt failing to hold
and separation from the tree trunk. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!

STEP 3: With the full-body fall arrest harness tree
belt and tether installed as outlined previously,
adjust the height of the tree belt so it is taunt as
shown in Figures 12 and 13. Please note, the teth-
er length will vary depending on whether or not
you plan on standing or sitting during your
use of this True North Treestands Inc.
Outdoor product. You must keep the tether
length as short as possible at all times to
minimize the distance you might fall in the
unlikely event you experi-ence a fall while
using this True North Treestands Inc. product.
