WARNING! You must have at least three (3) adults to install and/or remove this ladder treestand. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Prior to climbing, make sure that all the ladder sections are firmly connected and the ladder assembly
is solidly secured to the tree. Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Prior to attempting to climb a ladder stand for the first time, make certain the feet of the bottom rung
ladder section are firmly planted on solid, level ground. If they are not firmly planted on level ground, DO NOT climb
the ladder. With the help of three (3) adults, lower the stand and find a suitable location to safely install the ladder
stand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! When climbing to secure the ratchet strap, it is important to lean forward when climbing to keep the stand
centered and secure to the tree trunk. DO NOT lean backwards when climbing! Failure to follow these instructions
will result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! When climbing, always maintain three (3) points-of-contact as you ascend (i.e., climb up) and while
descending (i.e., climb down). Failure to maintain three (3) points-of-contact puts the user at serious risk of bodily
injury. Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Your Big Dog ladder was designed, engineered and constructed in a man-
ner that makes it a rugged piece of hunting equipment that will give you years of
trouble-free service. This rugged-construction makes your Big Dog ladder physically
heavy. As such, you shall never attempt to install this ladder by yourself. YOU MUST
HAVE A MINIMUM OF THREE (3) ADULTS FOR THE SAFE ERECTION OF YOUR
TREESTAND.
WARNING! You must wear and use the Big Dog Treestands full-body fall arrest harness and linemen’s belt at all

instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must follow these installation instructions very carefully. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must check the ground under the treestand to make sure it is firm and level. Sloping ground or
uneven surfaces (e.g., one foot on a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift off the tree as you climb. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Never attempt to climb any ladder stand without insuring the Adjustable Ladder Support Bar Assembly
and the Criss-Cross ropes are present and are properly secured to the tree. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause serious injury or death!
