****IMPORTANT HOISTING NOTE****
Never allow anyone to walk and/or stand below or underneath a treestand while it is being lifted, is at installation height, or while it is being
installed or removed. Standing and/or walking under a suspended load (i.e., lifted treestand) presents a very dangerous condition. Should the
load fall it has the potential to seriously injure or kill those below.
WARNING! Never stand and/or walk under a suspended load. Doing so places the user under immediate risk of serious injury or death!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
STEP 9: While still secured to the tree trunk with your linesmen belt, and securely standing on your climbing aid, with the help of the second adult,
have them GENTLY and SLOWLY hoist (lift) the treestand up to installation height using the previously installed Hoist. Raise (hoist) the treestand
to a position where the Quick Hitch
Hook
(refer to Figure 15) is approximately 2 inches (5 cm) BELOW the TOP of the Quick Hitch Receiver as
shown in Figure. 31.
STEP 10: With the treestand hoisted to installation height, with the Quick Hitch
Hook
positioned
approximately 2 inches (5 cm) BELOW the TOP of the Quick Hitch Receiver, gently lift the treestand
assembly up and place the Quick Hitch
Hook
into the Quick Hitch Receiver as shown in Figure 32.
STEP 11: With the treestand hanging in the Quick Hitch Receiver, attach the loose end of the
Standing Platform Ratchet Strap to the remaining Standing Platform Ratchet Strap Receiver as shown in
Figure 33. Refer to the
“Standing Platform Ratchet Strap Installation.”
WARNING! The Standing Platform Ratchet Strap MUST BE installed and secured for a safe
