• READ, FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND ALL WRITTEN AND VIDEO WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE. INSPECT ALL EXPIRATION
TAGS PRIOR TO EACH USE. IF YOU DON'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND SAFE AND PROPER USE OF THE FULL BODY FALL ARREST
HARNESS SYSTEM (FBFAHS) OR TREESTAND, HUNT FROM THE GROUND! FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
LISTED COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! IT IS REQUIRED THAT YOU WATCH AND UNDERSTAND THE DVD SUPPLIED
WITH THIS PRODUCT & THOSE SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS POSTED AT: www.summitstands.com/safety-videos
• WHEN HUNTING FROM A TREESTAND, FALLS CAN OCCUR ANY TIME AFTER LEAVING THE GROUND! ANY FALL CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! THE USE OF A FULL BODY FALL ARREST HARNESS SYSTEM (FBFAHS) IS REQUIRED WHEN USING ANY
TREESTAND. IF FBFAHS IS NOT PRESENT, HUNT FROM GROUND LEVEL!
• THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES THE USE OF A FULL BODY FALL ARREST HARNESS SYSTEM (FBFAHS). THE FBFAHS MUST
BE USED AND ATTACHED TO THE TREE PRIOR TO GAINING ENTRY UPON THE TREESTAND PLATFORM, AND SHOULD BE WORN AND
ATTACHED TO THE TREE AT ALL TIMES WHILE USING THE TREESTAND UNTIL SAFELY BACK AT GROUND LEVEL. READ AND FOLLOW
ALL INSTRUCTIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED WITH YOUR FBFAHS.
• DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND SAFE AND PROPER USE. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS PRIOR TO EACH USE!
• ALWAYS INSPECT THE TREESTAND, ALL WEBBING AND THE FBFAHS FOR ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE OR WEAR PRIOR TO EACH USE! IF
ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE OR WEAR IS PRESENT OR A TAG HAS EXPIRED FROM THE DATE STATED, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY
AND HUNT FROM THE GROUND.
• ALWAYS WEAR A FBFAHS THAT MEETS STRINGENT, INDUSTRY STANDARDS RECOGNIZED BY THE TMA. WEAR A FBFAHS EVERY
TIME YOU LEAVE THE GROUND, INCLUDING ASCENDING OR DESCENDING. SINGLE BELT STRAPS AND CHEST HARNESSES ARE NO
LONGER ALLOWED AND SHALL NOT BE USED! FAILURE TO USE A FBFAHS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
• THE LENGTH OF THE HARNESS TETHER SHALL BE MINIMIZED AT ALL TIMES. IT SHALL BE ADJUSTED SO THAT IT IS ABOVE THE
HEAD WITH NO SLACK (OR SNUG) IN THE SEATED POSITION AND YOU SHALL HAVE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF SLACK POSSIBLE WHEN
CLIMBING. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SUSPENSION WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RECOVER TO YOUR TREESTAND. BE AWARE
OF HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH HANGING SUSPENDED IN A FBFAHS AND THE FACT THAT PROLONGED SUSPENSION IN A HARNESS
MAY BE FATAL.
• ALWAYS NOTIFY SOMEONE OF YOUR HUNTING LOCATION IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. IF OTHERS ARE NOT AWARE OF YOUR
HUNTING LOCATION AND COMMUNICATION EFFORTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, YOU MUST HAVE A PERSONAL PLAN FOR RECOVERY/
ESCAPE BEFORE YOU ASCEND THE TREE - PROLONGED SUSPENSION IN A HARNESS CAN BE FATAL. IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXERCISE
THE LEGS BY PUSHING AGAINST THE TREE OR DOING OTHER FORMS OF CONTINUOUS LEG EXERCISES TO AVOID BLOOD POOLING
WHILE BEING SUSPENDED. HUNTERS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF PHYSICAL FITNESS MAY REQUIRE DIFFERENT PLANS TO
RECOVER/ESCAPE IN ORDER TO AVOID EFFECTS OF PROLONGED SUSPENSION. HAVE A PERSONAL PLAN AND PRACTICE IT IN
THE PRESENCE OF A RESPONSIBLE ADULT BEFORE LEAVING THE GROUND. NO ESCAPE/RECOVERY PLAN WILL WORK FOR EVERY
HUNTER ON EVERY TREE IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. ONLY YOU CAN DETERMINE THE BEST RECOVERY/ESCAPE PLAN FOR YOUR
HUNTING SITUATION AND YOU MUST HAVE A RECOVERY/ESCAPE PLAN FOR YOUR SITUATION BEFORE LEAVING THE GROUND. HUNT
FROM GROUND WHEN SELF-RECOVERY/ESCAPE ABILITY IS ABSENT.
