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

• 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.
