ATTACHMENT TO THE TREE
WARNING
!
Read, understand and follow ALL warnings and
instructions for the Full Body Fall Arrest Harness
System (FBFAHS) before leaving the ground!
1. Your EasyLevel dial should be in a position so that the
threaded rod is fully contained inside the frame of the
climber when in storage or transport, as shown in figure 7a.
Turn the EasyLevel dial clockwise so that the approximately
2 inches of the threaded rod is exposed, as shown in
figure 7b. This will allow for the tree cable to be lengthened
in the event that the platform is tilted at an upward angle
at the desired hunting height.
2. Attach the foot platform to the tree first. To do this,
pull down and hold the Quick Draw Pro Device as shown
in figure 8. This will release the locking tab from the cable,
allowing the cable to be pushed past the locking tab.
Once the cable has been pushed past the locking tab, you
can release the trigger.
3. Push the cable into the stand tubing until the cable stop
can be lifted out of the bracket. The cable should be loose at
this point. You can now pull the cable out of the stand.
4. Take one end of the cable around the tree and begin to
slide it down into the tubing as shown in figure 9. Once the
cable slides easily into the tubing (it helps to bend the cable
upward while pushing down on it as it is inserted), you are
ready to place it in its final position.
5. Pull the cable towards the back of the tree and "seat"
the cable stop against the back of the bracket, as shown in
figure 10. The Quick Draw Pro Device will "lock" into place
behind one of the cable stops.
You do not have to hold the Quick Draw Pro Device to lock
the cable in place.
6. Your cable bracket should now look like figure 11.
7. If necessary, go to the other side of the tree and position
the other end of the cable by repeating the steps of pulling
the Quick Draw Pro Device, sliding the cable into the tubing,
and assuring that the Quick Draw Pro Device has locked
into position.
8. Insert retention pin into the hole as shown in figure 12a.
Make sure that the end of Quick Draw Pro handle is secured
above the retention pin and that the cable remains fully
seated as shown in figure 12c.
9. You must secure the retention spring by bringing the pin
holder around to the outer side of the stand as shown in
figure 12b and sliding over the free end of the retention pin
to fully secure it as shown in figure 12c.
WARNING
!
It is VERY IMPORTANT to inspect all cables to ensure that
there is no sign of corroded, frayed, damaged or broken
strands. DO NOT USE IF THE CABLES HAVE BROKEN OR
DAMAGED METAL STRANDS! Call immediately to order
a replacement if this should occur.
WARNING
!
If the Quick Draw Pro Device does not lock into place
behind the cable stop as shown in figures 11 and 12c,
DO NOT USE THE TREESTAND since the cable is not
secured and may result in a user to fall which could cause
serious injury or death!
Contact Summit to obtain the proper corrective action.
