While climbing a

, make slow, even movements no more than ten to twelve
inches at a time. Make sure you have proper contact with tree and/or
TREE/LADDER STAND
every time you move. On ladder tree stand,
ALWAYS
maintain three points of contact with each step up the ladder and

Several treestands are equipped with a footrest, armrests and/or shooting rail. Neither the footrest, armrests nor the shooting rail have been
designed to support a user’s weight. Under
NO
circumstances should you place more than fifteen (15) pounds of weight on these structures. Doing
so will put the user in serious risk of injury or death.
Choosing A Safe Tree
Proper Care And Maintenance:
• Inspection for defects (damage, rot, corrosion, cracks, freezing, excessive heat, etc.) before every use is required. Do not use if damage is
detected or suspected.
• We recommend replacing all hardware/cables/nuts/bolts/clips on your tree stand every two (2) years or sooner if inspection finds it necessary. Use
only Primal Vantage approved replacement straps and parts. Use of any other straps or parts, will be viewed as a modification to the product. Any
modification will void the warranties and relieve Primal Vantage from all liabilities. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or
death.
•
DO NOT
overtighten the hardware.
DO NOT
use a socket wrench. This can lead to structural damage and may negatively affect the performance
of your stand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
• All photos are taken from the front view unless otherwise noted.
• In most cases, bolts come with two nylon washers. One washer will be placed against the bolt head the other washer will be placed against the nut.
