Setting up the Slider Line
•
Determine which tree will be used as the Start, and the End. The anchor line and ratchet must be
used at the End tree.
This gives a small buffer so the pulley doesn’t reach the tree.
The line must be
setup so the rider comes to a stop before reaching the end of the line.
•
Wrap tree protectors around desired tree trunks at pre-calculated line heights. Use of a step ladder
may be necessary. Exercise caution and follow necessary safety guidelines.
•
Wrap anchor line around End tree by threading through belt loops on tree protector. Then thread
ratchet through the loop at end of anchor line. Pull ratchet until line is snug on tree with no slipping.
•
Fold the line into a “V” as it is passes through loop to help the line stay flat.
