ALWAYS be sure to re-tighten all bolts BEFORE each new use of treestand.
ALWAYS have a minimum of three people present when installing or removing this treestand.
Please read the following instruction manual and warnings labels completely before utilizing this product. Failure to understand and execute the
instructions and warnings may result in serious injury or death. In the event of an accident, have a plan for rescue, including the use of devices that may be
easily reached while suspended.
ALWAYS read and understand all warnings and instructions. Watch the Safety Video through the QR Code located on the product and packaging in its
entirety before doing anything with this product including assembly, installation etc. before each use of this product. Failure to read and understand all
warnings and instructions and QR Code material may result in serious injury or death. Contact a Customer Service Representative with any questions you
may have.
NEVER exceed total weight limit of 300 lbs. DO NOT use if your combined weight with all of your individual hunting gear and any accessories exceeds
300 lbs. Use of tree stand over the weight limit may result in serious injury or death.
DO NOT use this tree stand while under the influence of alcohol, medication or any illegal substances. Use of tree stand while under the influence of any
of these substances may result in serious injury or death.
NEVER use this treestand during inclement weather. DO NOT use tree stand during thunderstorms, snowstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes or any other
weather conditions that include (but not limited to) lightning, icy conditions, or high winds that could create slippery or dangerous situations. End your hunt
and return to the ground if inclement weather conditions arise.
NEVER use treestand If you are feeling ill, nauseous, dizzy or if you have a prior condition that could cause a problem. i.e., heart condition, joints that
lock-up spinal fusions, etc., or if you are not well rested and alert. Physical ailments can reduce your ability to safely install, utilize, and remove your
treestand. Please consult a physician prior to use.
NEVER use this tree stand if you have a history of health problems such as (but not limited to) heart problems, back problems, high blood pressure,
impaired vision, equilibrium impairments, are afraid of heights, have been advised by a doctor or physician not to climb, if you are not physically fit, well
rested, and alert, or if you have any other physical or mental condition that would impair your ability to properly use this treestand.
NEVER use this tree stand on a tree that is dead, leaning, diseased, loose barked or on a utility pole as the tree may fall, break, or uproot and may result
in serious injury or death. NEVER rely on a branch for support.
NEVER jump or bounce on the treestand’s platform or ladder sections to seat it to the tree. Instead, step firmly on the first rung of the bottom ladder
section to set the ladder into the ground before proceeding to climb the ladder.
NEVER transport any of your equipment with yourself while ascending or descending the tree. You will need to have two hands free during ascending and
descending for safety. Use a haul line to pull up your firearm (unloaded, chamber opened with safety lock engaged, barrel facing towards the ground),
bows, arrows, knives or any other equipment to your tree stand once you have reached your desired hunting height. ONLY pull up hunting equipment after
the tree stand has been secured to the tree and after you and your harness have been secured to the tree. Prior to descending, lower your equipment on
the opposite side of the tree from which you are climbing. Make sure that the unloaded firearm’s safety lock is engaged and the gun barrel is pointing
towards the ground.
ALWAYS hunt with a plan and a buddy. Before you leave home, let others know your exact location, when you plan to return and who is with you.
ALWAYS carry emergency signal devices such as a cell phone, walkie-talkie, whistle, signal flare, PLD (personal location device) and flashlight with you at
all times and within reach even while you are suspended in your harness. Watch for changing weather conditions. In the event of an accident, remain calm
and seek help immediately.
ALWAYS inspect the tree stand and the Fall Arrest System (FAS) (Harness) for signs of wear or damage BEFORE each use. Also inspect to ensure that
nuts and bolts are secure. Pay special attention to the harness and straps, guaranteeing that nothing has been frayed or severed. Destroy all products that
cannot be repaired by the manufacturer. Contact a Customer Service Representative for replacement parts. The Fall Arrest System MUST be discarded
and replaced after a fall has occurred.
DO NOT ATTACH YOUR FULL BODY HARNESS TO YOUR TREESTAND.
NEVER modify your treestand in any way by making repairs, replacing parts, or altering adding or attaching anything to it except if explicitly authorized in
writing by the manufacturer. Improper installation or adjustment may cause serious injury or death. Remove all contents from box. Inspect for any
damaged or missing parts. If any parts are missing or damaged, you must only use certified replacement parts. Using any other replacement parts will
void product warranty. THERE ARE NO EXTRA PARTS. All parts MUST be used to ensure the safety of you and your stand. If you think parts are missing
or damaged, STOP IMMEDIATELY and contact our Customer Service Department. Using the tree stand with missing or damaged parts may result in
serious injury or death. DO NOT return this product to the retailer. Contact a Customer Service Representative if you have any missing, damaged or extra
parts.
ALWAYS keep instructions in a safe place and review before each use. It is the responsibility of the treestand owner to furnish the complete instructions to
anyone who borrows or purchases the treestand from you. The QR Code located on your product and packaging is linked to a treestand hunting video.
View it in it’s entirety prior to using this product.
NEVER use this treestand for any use other than hunting. Our treestands are designed for hunters to wear a Full Body Harness. If you are not completely
comfortable and confident with your ability to safely install, ascend, hunt and descend using a Full Body Safety Harness and this treestand, DO NOT
PROCEED.

Treestand Safety Warnings
NEVER remove any safety warning stickers
from this product.
NEVER adjust your stand while in use. Practice the attachment of this treestand at ground level before using in a hunting environment. ALWAYS ensure
that you and your treestand are safely secured to a healthy tree. Your tree stand MUST be attached tightly to the tree and secured in place. If the stand is
not secure, it may shift while in use, resulting in serious injury or death.
The Installation Cross Straps and Truss Assembly System MUST be properly installed before each use of the treestand.
ALWAYS inspect every ladder section connection every time you use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder sections are separating, with the help
of at least two other people, lower the stand to the ground, make adjustments, and reinstall.
ALWAYS check the ground below the tree stand to make sure it is firm and level. Sloping ground or uneven terrain (one side of a rock or root) can cause
your tree stand to tilt or shift.
ALWAYS maintain three points of contact when climbing the tree stand. (Two feet and one hand or one foot and two hands.)
ALWAYS lean forward as you climb and attach your harness to the tree before securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto the platform.
DO NOT leave your treestand outside since weather or animals may cause damage. Tree growth can also cause stress and damage straps and buckles. It
must be stored inside, free of moisture, when not in use.
NEVER wear jewelry or loose fitting clothing, which can cause hazardous conditions. Clothing may be caught in your equipment and cause you to fall. You
must always wear non-slip or rubber boots. Shoelaces must be tucked into your boots. Rings and necklaces MUST NOT be worn.
NEVER use this treestand with a second person. The treestand is designed for use by ONE person.
NEVER let children use this treestand without adult supervision. This treestand is not a toy. No one under the age of 18 should attempt to use this product
without direct adult supervision.
DO NOT use tree stand if any nuts or bolts or parts are loose, bent, or crooked.
ALWAYS know your physical limitations. Don’t take chances. If you start thinking about how high you are, don’t go any higher. Instead, choose a minimum
height that will allow for safe, effective and comfortable hunting.
ALWAYS lean forward towards the tree as you climb and attach your harness to the tree BEFORE securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto the
platform. NEVER lean out from the treestand for any reason.
ALWAYS wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) (Harness) consisting of a full body safety harness after leaving the ground. A Full Body Harness that meets the
requirements of ASTM Test Method F2337 MUST always be connected to yourself and the tree during ascending, hunting and descending. Single safety
belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed and should NEVER be used. If you are not wearing a Full Body Harness properly attached to the tree, that
is protecting you from a fall, DO NOT leave the ground. Failure to wear your Full Body Harness may result in serious injury or death. Be aware that falls
can occur at anytime after leaving the ground.
ALWAYS read and understand the manufacturer’s Warnings, expiration date (if applicable) and instructions on how to use and how to properly adjust the
harness. Practice the use of a full body safety harness at ground level in the presence of a responsible adult to experience the feeling of hanging
suspended before using in a hunting environment. Failure to follow harness instructions may result in not being able to return to the stand and being
suspended in a harness after a fall, or serious injury or possibly death. If the hunting location is unknown by anyone and communication efforts are
unsuccessful, you MUST have a personal plan for rescue/escape because prolonged suspension in a harness may 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 the effects of prolonged suspension. Have a personal plan and practice it in the
presence of a responsible adult before leaving the ground. No one escape/rescue plan will work for every hunter on every tree in every circumstance. Only
you can determine the best recovery/escape plan for your situation before leaving the ground.
ALWAYS have a suspension relief device on your person and readily accessible while using a harness. These devices allow the user to relieve the load on
the lower extremities if suspended in a harness and help maintain circulation in the legs, mitigate suspension trauma (blood pooling) or allow descent to the
ground. Several optional products/systems are available that offer self-recovery or self-extraction from a fall when suspended in a harness. Some systems
automatically descend the user while others allow user control. One of these products/systems can be considered for use as an additional safety precaution
against prolonged suspension and suspension trauma. Be sure to follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the safe use of these products/systems.
Hunt from the ground when self-recovery escape is absent. There is time to make a correct decision on what action to take if a fall occurs while wearing a
full body harness. It is important to remember “DO NOT PANIC.” Remain calm and implement your practiced rescue, relief and recovery plan.
NEVER allow the tether strap to get under your chin or around your neck. The length of the harness tether MUST be minimized at all times. It should be
adjusted so that it is above the head with no slack (snug) in the sitting position and you should have the minimum amount of slack possible when climbing.
Safety must be your first priority
during the use of this product.
W A R N I N G

drugs, or medication. Using ladderstand under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, or medication may result in serious injury or
death.
NEVER use ladderstand if you have dizzy spells, a heart
problem, are afraid of heights, have been advised by a doctor
or other health care provider not to climb, or have any
condition that would impair your ability to climb up or down or
use treestand as it could result in serious injury or death.
NEVER remove or deface ladderstand warning labels.

• ALWAYS thoroughly inspect the tree before installing your product. DO NOT install your TREE/LADDER STAND onto any dead or unsafe tree, telephone
or utility pole, structural column, or man-made structure. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
• ALWAYS select the proper tree for use with your TREE/LADDER STAND. Select a live straight tree that fits within size limits recommended (minimum tree
diameter must be no less than 9 inches and maximum of 18 inches.). DO NOT rely on a branch for support.
• DO NOT select a tree in the dark or choose a tree in close proximity to a fence. You must not have any stumps or rocks beneath your tree.
• NEVER use TREE/LADDER STAND on a tree that is dead, diseased , leaning or on wet and uneven ground as the tree may fall, break or uproot.
• Your tree must not be wet, icy or slippery or on wet, swampy, or loose ground that allows the tree to be unstable. Check the ground under TREE/LADDER
STAND to ensure it is firm and level.
• Be sure you have a level stand platform. Your tree must not lean or have any irregular shape.
• Tree must not have any loose or scaly bark or excessive vines, nails, screws, or any other sharp objects protruding that may sever webbing on product. Any
surrounding trees must not lean or have dead limbs that may fall onto you or your product.
• NEVER HURRY!! HURRYING CAUSES ACCIDENTS!! While climbing a TREE/LADDER STAND, make slow, even movements no more than ten to twelve
inches at a time. Make sure you have proper contact with tree and/or TREE/LADDER STAND every time you move. On ladder tree stand, ALWAYS
maintain three points of contact with each step up the ladder and ALWAYS lean forward as you climb.
Several treestands are equipped with a footrest, armrests and/or shooting rail. Neither the footrest, armrests nor the shooting rail have been
designed to support a user’s weight. Under NO circumstances should you place more than fifteen (15) pounds of weight on these structures. Doing
so will put the user in serious risk of injury or death.
Choosing A Safe Tree
Proper Care And Maintenance:
• Inspection for defects (damage, rot, corrosion, cracks, freezing, excessive heat, etc.) before every use is required. Do not use if damage is
detected or suspected.
• We recommend replacing all hardware/cables/nuts/bolts/clips on your tree stand every two (2) years or sooner if inspection finds it necessary. Use
only Primal Brands, LLC approved replacement straps and parts. Use of any other straps or parts, will be viewed as a modification to the
product. Any modification will void the warranties and relieve Primal Brands, LLC from all liabilities. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious injury or death.
• DO NOT overtighten the hardware. DO NOT use a socket wrench. This can lead to structural damage and may negatively affect the performance
of your stand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
• All photos are taken from the front view unless otherwise noted.
• In most cases, bolts come with two nylon washers. One washer will be placed against the bolt head the other washer will be placed against the nut.

CAUTIOUSLY put your weight on the foot platform. The additional weight will create tension on tree strap cables.
CINCH
STRAPS
When you have reached the desired height to hunt from, secure Cinch Straps so they
are tight in a sitting position. The pressure created on Seat Platform from securing
Cinch Straps will prevent Foot Platform and Seat Platform from slipping down should
you decide to stand and take pressure off Seat Platform.
Carefully remove one foot at a time from the foot straps. Slowly turn around never
taking both feet off of the foot platform, you MUST always have weight pressed on the
foot platform.
Sit on the seat cushion, if any adjustment needs to be made to the seat placement,
you MUST climb back to the ground and adjust on the ground. Using a safe hoist/lift
system, raise your unloaded weapon.
To climb back down the tree, reverse the process, always ensuring you are constantly
adjusting your harness tether as you move.
Lean against shooting rail
and lift your feet to raise
foot platform. Push down
to set foot platform in
raised position. FIG.1
Stand and lift up on seat
platform to adjust it to a

Again, lean against shooting rail and lift
you feet to raise foot platform. Push down
to set foot platform in raised position.
FIG.1 To continue climbing up tree,
repeat steps 1 through 3, while continu-

above your head with minimum slack.
Before beginning to climb: Check that your harness is secure, check that cables are properly quick clipped, and make sure that the seat
straps on your seat section are off to the side, they should not obstruct the cable connecting to the tree in anyway while climbing. Practice at
ground level with your Full Body Harness. Familiarize yourself with this product’s function so you feel comfortable with the climbing procedure.
