Instruction Manual : 15’ LADDER STAND
18
7. Standing on ladder step, lean toward tree with
previously installed 6’ ratchet strap (14) now in hand.
a. Wrap the previously installed end of the long strap
around the tree and feed through the slot in the
ratchet mechanism. SEE FIGURE 12A.
NOTE: Be sure to feed the long strap correctly so
there are no twists in the strap.
b. Pull tail of long strap until most of the slack is taken
out. Be sure entire strap is even and at the same
level all around tree. SEE FIGURE 12B.
c. Use the ratchet to tighten the strap to tree. The
tightened strap will stabilize the stand to tree and
prevent movement. SEE FIGURE 12C.
NOTE: Make sure there is at least two full
revolutions of strap on the ratchet spool before
the strap tightens. Proper tension will ensure
the stand is secured to the tree. Do not allow
excessive strap to build up in the ratchet as this
will prevent the ratchet teeth from engaging and
can cause slippage.
To release ratchet, simply pull the release lever
and open tightening lever wide open (flat). SEE
FIGURE 12D.
8. If necessary, re-check and adjust the 6’ ratchet straps
(14), 16’ criss cross straps (16) and horizontal stabilizer
bar assembly to securely attach the treestand to the
tree. The tree blades must be touching the tree.
SEE FIGURE 13.
9. You are now ready to use your ladder stand!
