Summit Treestands Viper Level Pro SD Mode D'emploi page 8

WARNING
!
NEVER ADJUST CABLES ON SEAT OR FOOT PLATFORM IN THE
Quick Draw PRO CABLE RETENTION SYSTEM ABOVE GROUND
LEVEL. THE ONLY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CABLES THAT CAN
BE MADE ABOVE GROUND LEVEL ARE WITH THE USE OF THE
EASYLEVEL DIALS.
To ensure that your treestand is level at the height at
which you will be hunting, observe the relative change
in the tree diameter between the base of the tree and
the final treestand height. It is very important to adjust
the treestand foot platform and seat at the base of
the tree such that the treestand foot platform will be
level at the height you hunt. Trees commonly found in
swamp or marsh areas have a tendency to swell at their
base, and these may require a greater starting angle in
order for your treestand to be level - as compared to a
normally tapered tree.
9. Repeat Steps 1-6 for the Seat Platform portion of
the Treestand.
UMBILICAL CORD
WARNING
!
It is required that the seat and foot platforms MUST
BE attached to each other with the umbilical cord, as
shown in figures 13, 14a and 14b before climbing.
The included umbilical cord attaches the seat platform
to the foot platform. In the event that control of the
platforms are lost, the platforms will only fall the length
of the umbilical cord. This should allow you to retrieve
the platforms and re-seat them onto the tree.
1. Loop the umbilical cord around the foot platform
yoke and push the free end through to make a
cinch knot as shown in figure 14a.
2. Bring the cord up and loop it around the seat platform yoke. Attach the clip back to the cord as shown in figure 14b.
3. The foot platform should now be connected to the seat platform.
4. Once you are done hunting and have returned to ground level, for easier backpacking, un-clip the cord and wrap it around
the foot platform yoke.
5. Replace every two (2) years or sooner if any sign of fading, fraying, nicks, cuts, tears, or discoloration is present.
!
! CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to climb without the matching set of
foot and seat platform assemblies. The Seat Platform
assembly is designed to aid you in correct operation of
the treestand. It is designed to support the rated weight
limit of the user and gear as you climb. NEVER exceed
the rated weight limit of your treestand.
WARNING
!
DO NOT TIP YOUR WEIGHT ONTO YOUR TOES unless
you are ready to move the foot platform. This will tend
to disengage the foot platform from the tree.
TAKE YOUR TIME! Use short controlled movements.

The EasyLevel dials allow for the platform to be leveled once at the desired
hunting height. By starting your climb with both platforms at an upward
angle and with 2 inches of exposed rod on both EasyLevel dials, per Step 1,
there will be an ability to lengthen the tree cable if the platforms are still
at an upward angle at the desired hunting height as well as reduce the
length of the tree cable as the platforms begin have a downward angle as
the tree diameter tapers. See Section 5 for use on EasyLevel Dials.
14a
Never bounce or jump on the foot platform or seat
platform in an attempt to secure the stand to the tree
or for any other reason. Doing this can damage the
treestand causing the product to be over-loaded, which
could result in severe damage to the treestand, and could
cause serious injury or death!
It is VERY IMPORTANT to inspect umbilical cord prior to
each use. Replace every two (2) years or sooner if any sign
of fading, frayings, nicks, cuts, tears, or discoloration is
present. Call immediately to order a replacement if this
should occur.
