FIGURE 2

STEP 1.

 Select a straight, healthy tree 

between 9 to 20-inches in diameter.

STEP 2.

 Once you have determined which 

tree you will climb, unpack your X-Stand 

climber. Prior to installing your climber, make 

certain your security/connector straps are 

connected. If the security straps are not 

installed, do not use your X-Stand.

STEP 3.

 Attach the foot section/standing 

platform to the tree by placing the cable 

around the tree and sliding it into the 

platform support securing with Spring Bolt 

and retaining pin. (Fig 1A) 

CLIMBING UP

 

WARNING! This X-Stand is equipped with two () 

security/connector straps (they double as backpacking 

straps also). These security/ connector straps are 

designed to stabilize your X-Stand while at climbing 

height and to keep the standing platform from 

separating from the seating platform inadvertently 

while climbing. THEY MUST REMAIN CONNECTED AT 

ALL TIMES. Should the standing platform inadvertently 

slip-off your feet during use, retrieve it by simply 

pulling up on the security/connector straps. Once you 

have reached your desired climbing height, reach down 

and pull the tag ends (loose ends) of the security/

connector straps to tighten both straps. By doing so, 

you lock the seating and standing platforms to the tree. 

NOTE: You must lengthen the straps prior to attempting 

to climb down. DO NOT modify or disconnect these 

security/connector straps for any reason. NOTE: The 

security/connector straps should be adjusted so there 

is no more than -inches of slack when climbing.
