SUMMIT TIPS
Sometimes on a cold, dry, hard bark tree a rubbing noise can be produced at the scalloped edge that engages the tree. This
comes from friction forces. It can be eliminated a couple of ways. First, simply re-positioning your platform slightly will in most
cases eliminate the noise. Second, a liquid or candle/bowstring wax can be applied at the intersection of the tree and the
scalloped edge to reduce the friction.
Changing your sitting position can relieve muscle stress and reduce fatigue. This will allow a longer hunt and perhaps an
opportunity for a shot. Although it must be done slowly and quietly, repositioning and changing the height of your seat by
raising or lowering the seat frame just a couple of inches could make a difference. This changes the hip to knee angle. Being
comfortable will result in no movement and reduce being detected by game either from sight or from sound.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Before each use, look for nicks, gouges, cuts, cracks, bends, corrosion or other damage that can be the result of improper use
or accidental damage. For instance, this could occur if someone else used the treestand without knowledge of its proper use,
or if the treestand were dropped, hit by a motor vehicle or subject to corrosive conditions, etc.
•
The seat on this treestand is removable. It is mandatory that it be removed and stored in a dry place when not in use.
Replace every two (2) years or sooner if damage or wear is present or if it appears faded.
•
When not in use, store your treestand in a dry place - tree teeth pointing down - to keep water from pooling inside the
stand tubing. Water that is allowed to fill the stand tubing and freeze will rupture the tubing.
•
The powdercoat finish applied at the factory is very durable and should only need touch ups in areas of heavy wear or
accidental impact. Use a high quality, outdoor spray paint to cover any bare metal areas that might develop.
•
The sole purpose of the plastic coating on the cable is to eliminate noise. After some use you may notice some abrasions,
peeling or possibly cuts in the coating. This coating does not affect the performance or safety of your treestand. It is there
to eliminate unnecessary noise when sliding the cable down into the tubing. Replacement tubes can be purchased at www.

•
When transporting your Summit Treestand be sure it is securely tied down and be sure no other objects can slide into or hit
the treestand possibly causing damage.
•
NEVER use your climbing treestand for anything other than what it was designed for. This is a climbing treestand to be used
on a tree for the purpose of hunting only.
Should you damage any part of your Summit Treestand, contact your nearest authorized Summit dealer or the factory to obtain
the proper corrective action procedure and/or replacement parts for the treestand.
Summit Treestands have the highest structural integrity by design, material selection and manufacturing techniques, but as its
owner, only your continued care will assure trouble free performance. When the above-mentioned guidelines are followed, your
Summit Treestand will provide years of successful hunting.
