FIG 5
Secure the two leg straps by threading the 3 bar buckle as shown in Figure 4.
Tighten the leg straps snuggly.
DO NOT
over tighten as this will cut off the circulation to
your legs. The X-Stand™ Treestands full-body fall arrest harness should look like the one
depicted in Figure 5 when done correctly. Note: If leg straps are too long, feed right leg
strap with buckle through bottom of the right waist loop, down the top of the left waist
loop and secure to left leg strap with 3 Bar Buckle as instructed.
WARNING!
It is very important to complete this Step of the assembly. Improperly
secured buckle may cause full-body fall arrest harness failure resulting in serious injury
or death! If there is not enough strap available to complete this step,
DO NOT USE THIS
FULL-BODY FALL ARREST HARNESS!
You may need to purchase and use a larger spe-
cialty sized full-body fall arrest harness that complies with ASTM standards.
Once you have reached your desired height, insert the tree belt through the loop
of the tether. (see Fig. 5) Then, carefully wrap the tree belt around the tree at a height
that allows just enough slack for you to sit comfortably in your stand. Keeping the tether
as short as possible limits the distance you will travel in the unlikely event you should
experience a fall. To secure the tree belt insert free end up through the slot in the buckle
closest to opposite end of the tree belt, then cross over the sliding mechanism and back
down through opposite slot. Pull on strap to secure and test to make sure sliding mecha-
nism engages creating secure strap placement. (see Fig. 6, 7, 8)
