Pull up a bow, backpack, or firearm or other equipment

signal flare or personal locator device (PLD) must be on
your person and readily available at all times.
Inspect the treestand and all safety devices each time
before use and
Do Not
store a treestand outdoors when
not in use.
Never
modify your treestand in any way by making
repairs, replacing parts, or altering it except if explicitly
authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Practice installing, adjusting and using your treestand at
ground level prior to using it at elevated positions. Study
your new stand to become familiar with all of its features
and design. Doing so will confirm that the product is
manufactured, assembled and installed correctly.
Instructions (written and video) shall be kept in a safe place
and reviewed at least annually. It is the responsibility of
the treestand owner to furnish the complete instructions
to any person who borrows or purchases the treestand.
The use of a lineman’s/climbing belt is required when
installing a hang-on treestand to stabilize the user with
the tree.
Correct tightening and adjustment of chains, cables,
straps, etc. are critical to stable hang-on treestand
installation. All treestand contact points must be in
contact with the tree before you step onto your stand.
Never
leave a treestand in a tree for more than two weeks
since weather or animals could cause damage. Tree
growth can also stress and damage straps and buckles.
Practice the attachment of hang-on treestands at ground
level before using in a hunting environment. Doing so
will confirm that the product is manufactured, assembled
and installed correctly. Failure to install and test at ground
level first puts users at risk for serious injury or death.
Use a haul line to raise and lower the treestand.
Never
climb with anything on your back.
Always
lean forward as you ascend or descend ladder or
climbing aid.
Never
lean out over edge of device.
WARNING
When hunting from a treestand falls can occur any
time after leaving the ground causing injury or death.
Always
wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) comprising a full
body harness at all times after leaving the ground. You
must stay connected at all times after leaving the ground
while using climbing and hang-on treestands. Single
safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed
and shall never be used. If you are not wearing a full body
harness properly attached to the tree that is protecting
you from a fall, do not leave the ground.

and Instructions and use all safety devices provided by
the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for any
questions. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
