INSTALLING YOUR FREESTANDING PLATFORM TREESTAND IN THE FIELD
WARNING! Never attempt to hunt from an unlevel platform. Additionally, never attempt to level your freestanding platform treestand at heights above
the ground. If you nd your platform is unlevel, canted or angled awkwardly upward or downward, or in any conguration other than level, readjust your
freestanding platform treestand as necessary to alleviate this awkward angle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must have three (3) total adults to install or remove your freestanding platform treestand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious injury or death!
STEP 1. With the help of two (2) other adults, gently lift the platform of the freestanding platform treestand and walk it up until erect (Fig. 1).
STEP 2. Check to make sure the platform is on secure and level ground and the standing and seating platforms are level. If the platform is unlevel, adjust the
bottom legs until the platform is level (as directed in these instructions). NOTE: Holes are provided in the feet to allow for staking (i.e., anchoring) to the ground
for additional safety. Extreme precaution shall be used to ensure that the stand is stable prior to climbing. We suggest the use of (3-5) hammer in stakes as well
as (2-4) auger style stakes, all sold separately.
WARNING! Never attempt to level a platform by inserting, or using scrap lumber, rocks, tree limbs or branches, cardboard, or any other material(s). Under no
circumstances shall you attempt to level your platform in a manner other than described in this Instruction Manual. Failure to follow these instructions will result
in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must secure your freestanding platform treestand to preclude it from tipping or shifting during installation and/or use. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious injury or death!
