USE (continued)
3.
Wrap the supplied green tourniquet buckle strap
(1” green strap with spring loaded buckle) around the
tree and through the seat frame as shown in
figure
45
. Securely tighten the strap to prevent the notched
teeth area from losing contact with the tree.
4.
On the Razor Unhook the bungee cord that held
the seat back rest secure while you were climbing.
Position the seat back rest by wrapping each end
of the bungee cord around the climbing cable and
hooking the two hooks together as shown in
figure
46
or by wrapping it around the tree. The bungee
cord will prevent the seat backrest from falling
forwards if you stand up.
5.
The treestand seat will provide maximum comfort
when the seat pad is near horizontal rather than
tipped down in the front. The seat height on the
Razor can be easily raised (for bow hunting) or
lowered (for gun hunting) by adjusting the two piece
buckles up or down the webbing.
Both seat sides must be adjusted evenly so the seat
is level side to side. Sliding the webbing straps
forward or backward on the frame provides additional
comfort.

bar or rest your weight on the arm rests for the OpenShot, and
grasp the upright arms as you did when climbing (
see figure 43
Razor and figure 44 OpenShot
).
4.
While firmly grasping the seat climber upright arms,
disengage the platform by lifting up and tipping the edge
closest to the tree downward. Once the platform has been
dislodged, you can lower it down (
see figure 41 Razor and
figure 42 OpenShot
). Make slow, even movements of 10-12
inches at a time.
5.
To re-engage, rotate the top edge of the treestand closest to
the tree upwards. Now carefully place your weight back on the
platform.
6.
Once the platform is secure, slide your safety harness tether
strap down to about chest height and repeat steps 3-6 until you
have reached the bottom of the tree.
