EasyLevel™ Adjustment – Create A More Downward Angle
1. Begin with adjustment of the angle on the seat platform.
Stand up on the foot platform with all your weight on your feet, grasp
the seat platform with your right hand and rotate the EasyLevel dial
counterclockwise (facing the tree) as shown in figure 16a.
2. There should be no weight on the seat platform as you continue
rotating the EasyLevel dial. This allows for the tree cable to be
lengthened and readjust where it sits along the tree diameter.
Rotate the EasyLevel dial counterclockwise until the platform is level.
3. To adjust the angle on the foot platform, begin by sitting on the
front bar of the climber frame. Make sure that your platforms are
connected by the umbilical cord and that your feet are secured into the
stirrups and heel bungee. Raise your knees to bring the foot platform
close to the seat platform, as shown in figure 16b.
4. Keeping all your weight on the seat platform and using the seat
platform frame and your left hand for balance, reach down with your
right hand to the EasyLevel dial on your foot platform and rotate
counterclockwise. There should be no weight on the foot platform as
you continue rotating the EasyLevel dial which will allow for the tree
cable to be brought in around the tree and readjust where it sits along
the tree diameter. Raise your feet slightly off the foot platform
if necessary to take weight off the foot platform to achieve the
EasyLevel adjustments. Rotate the EasyLevel dial counterclockwise
until the platform is level or at a slightly upward angle if still in the
process of climbing.
The EasyLevel Dial has reached the end of its adjustment ability
when approximately 6.5" of threaded rod is exposed, as shown
in figure 15c. At this point the EasyLevel dial will provide more
resistance to additional adjustment attempts and must not be
turned any further clockwise. If the platform is not able to be
brought level with the amount of adjustment available then you
must climb down to ground level and readjust the Quick Draw Pro
cable system or fine a different tree.
