SETUP
WARNING
!
It is required that at least three people initially set up
the ladder stand. Always use two helpers!
WARNING
!
Check the ground under the ladder stand to make
sure it is firm and level.
WARNING
!
Never use this ladder stand on dead, leaning, diseased
or loose barked trees. Never use on a utility pole or
on trees that have any obstructions that may limit
treestand use. Never rely on a tree branch for support.
WARNING
!
Always ensure the Stabilizer straps run from the upper
attachment point to the ladder column BEFORE setup.
1. Position the ladder stand flat on the ground in front of
an appropriate tree. The bottom ladder section should be
placed approximately 3 feet from the base of the tree.
2. Using at least three adults, lean the ladder stand up into
an upright position until the teeth make contact with the
tree (see figure 34).
3. Pull the base of the ladder stand out until the platform is
sitting level to flat ground as shown in figure 35.
4. While your helpers hold the stand securely, LIGHTLY
bounce on the first rung to seat the ladder column into the
ground.
5. Pivot the Stabilizer bar up. Remove the wire lock pin
from the Ladder Stabilizer bar shown in previous figure 27.
Slide the Male Section of the stabilizer bar out until it makes
contact with the tree as shown in figure 36 and 37. The
stabilizer bar should be positioned so that it is perpendicular
(90 degree angle) from the ladder column as shown in
figure 36. Reinsert the wire lock pin.
NOTICE
The Stabilizer bar should lean down slightly when
properly attached. This is normal.
WARNING
!
Do not force the Ladder Stabilizer bar from side to side
to make it contact the tree.
6. Insert the looped end of the enclosed rope through one
of the two pre-punched holes in the Stabilizer Bar as shown
in figure 38. Bring the free end of the rope through the
loop to create a cinch knot as shown in figure 39.
7. Run the stabilizer bar rope from one side of the Stabilizer
bar, around the tree and tie it off to the other side of the
Stabilizer bar.
8. With the ladder in place and secured by your helpers,
unbuckle the two Long Stabilizer straps. Take the long
straps and bring them around the back of the tree so that
they form an X (figure 40).
