NESTING STANDS FOR BACKPACKING
CLOSED FRONT
Your treestand is designed to "nest" together as one unit making it easy to transport. Viper model shown, others similar.
1. For the Viper Level Pro SD, turn the EasyLevel dial clockwise so that the threaded rod is fully contained inside the frame,
as shown in figure 32.
2. Untie the umbilical cord from the seat climber and wrap it around the platform yolk several times to secure it.
3. Start with the seat climber portion of the stand, setting it on its end as shown in figure 33.
4. Take the platform and slide it into the seat climber so that its upright braces and cable bracket are next to the same areas on
the seat climber as shown in figure 34.
5. The teeth area on the platform should come into contact with the "V" brace on the seat climber. From this position, pull the
seat backrest through the large gap in the platform as shown in figure 35.
6. Secure the seat to the stand by running the seat bungee around the frame and clipping it off. (figure 36)
7. The backpack straps will most likely be wedged in behind the seat at this point. Pull them out and around the seat webbing
and push the seat as far down in the frame as possible (see figure 37).
8. Secure the top and platform together with the 1" wide green strap with the spring loaded tourniquet buckle as shown in
figure 38. This will prevent the seat and the platform from making noise as you hike to your hunting location.
9. Use the backpack straps to carry the unit on your back, tree teeth down, as shown in figure 39. Pull the loose end of the
straps to tighten and pull up on the buckle to release.
There are numerous ways to route the seat and backpack straps when packing - this is only one example!
Your backpack straps are adjustable. Pull down on the free end to tighten and lift up on the buckle to loosen.
