GAINING ACCESSING TO AND FROM TREESTAND
It is of the utmost importance you remain connected while entering and exiting your True North Treestands Inc. treestand. Most treestand accidents involving
hang
-on style treestands occur while the user is either entering or exiting their treestand. For this reason, you MUST stay connected.
While remaining attached to the tree with your full-body fall arrest lineman belt, attach the tree belt of the full-body
fall arrest harness to the tree trunk at a location above the seat. Both the lineman belt and tether of the tree belt
of the full body fall arrest harness shall be attached at the same time. Disconnect the lineman belt and climb above
standing platform and step down onto the center of the standing platform. If there is any looseness, step off the
treestand and back onto the climbing system. Disconnect the treestand and repeat the previous installation STEPS
after re-connecting your lineman belt.
