NOTE: Stand should be attached to tree with platform folded in
an upright position!
a. Lengthen strap by pulling buckle away from strap - this will allow
strap to slide around buckle roller bar.

strap is even and at the same level all the way around the tree. Also,
be sure there are no twists in the strap. Connect hook to opposite
