USE
1.
When you get to your hunting height (do not
climb higher than 15 feet; it is unnecessary) and you
have assured that your treestand is level, position your
seat climber slightly below waist level. Slightly lower
will be more comfortable but higher makes for less
movement when you stand.
2.
With your safety harness attached to the tree
above the climber, pull your feet, one at a time, from
their secured position under the RapidClimb stirrups.
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
17
. Securely tighten the strap to prevent the notched
teeth area from losing contact with the tree.
4.
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 18
or by wrapping
it around the tree. The bungee cord will prevent the
seat backrest from falling forward 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 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.
WARNING
!
NEVER DISCONNECT FROM YOUR SAFETY HARNESS
OR SAFETY LINE ONCE YOU LEAVE THE GROUND!!
!
CAUTION
Seat strap adjustments must be made on the ground.
