WARNING
This product carries strict height and weight restrictions.
Do Not use this product if you exceed the total weight
limit. Please note that the total weight limit includes the
user(s) and their equipment.
WARNING
When hunting from a treestand falls can occur any
time after leaving the ground causing injury or death.
Always wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) comprising a full
body harness at all times after leaving the ground. You
must stay connected at all times after leaving the ground
while using climbing and hang-on treestands. Single
safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed
and shall 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.
Read and understand all of the manufacturer’s Warnings
and Instructions and use all safety devices provided by
the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for any
questions. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
Never exceed the total weight limit of the treestand.
Never use a treestand during inclement weather such as
rain, lightning, windstorms or icy conditions and end your
hunt and return to the ground if inclement conditions arise.
Never use a treestand while using drugs (even
prescription drugs) or alcohol.
Never use a treestand while feeling ill, nauseous or dizzy,
or if you have a prior medical condition that could cause
a problem, that is, heart condition, joints that lock-up,
spinal fusions, etc., or if you are not well rested. Never
sleep in stand.
Never use a treestand on a dead, leaning, diseased or
loose barked tree, or a utility pole. Always avoid electrical
power lines.
Never rely on a tree branch for support.
WARNING
Never jump or bounce on a treestand to seat it to the tree.
Pull up a bow, backpack, or rearm or other equipment
only after being secure in the treestand and a rearm
must be pulled up with it unloaded, chamber open, and
muzzle down.
Always inform someone of the hunting location, where
the treestand will be located and the expected duration
of the hunt.
A signal device such as a mobile phone, radio, whistle,
signal are or personal locator device (PLD) must be on
your person and readily available at all times.
Inspect the treestand and all safety devices each time
before use and Do Not store a treestand outdoors when
not in use.
Never modify your treestand in any way by making
repairs, replacing parts, or altering it except if explicitly
authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Practice installing, adjusting and using your treestand at
ground level prior to using it at elevated positions. Study
your new stand to become familiar with all of its features
and design. Doing so will conrm that the product is
manufactured, assembled and installed correctly.
Instructions (written and video) shall be kept in a safe place
and reviewed at least annually. It is the responsibility of
the treestand owner to furnish the complete instructions
to any person who borrows or purchases the treestand.
Use at least three (3) people to install or take down a
ladder treestand.
The criss-cross straps/ropes and stabilization devices
must be attached before climbing to the platform.
When installing a ladder stand, always bounce on the
rst rung to set the ladder into the ground according to
manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding to climb
any higher.
Check every ladder section connection every time you
use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder
sections are separating, do not use the stand.
Check the ground under the stand to make sure it is rm
and level. Sloping ground or uneven surface (one side on
a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift o the tree as
you climb.
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when
climbing a ladder treestand. Proper three-point contact
means having either two feet with one hand or one foot
with two hands on the step portion of the ladder or
climbing aid at all times.

WARNING
Bring ratchet strap(s) up with you in a pocket - Do Not
carry in your hands!
Be sure only one person ascends or descends ladder at
a time. Be certain rst person is seated safely, and at-
tached to tree with provided Fall Arrest System (FAS)
correctly before second person ascends or descends
ladder.
Never have two people on one side of the platform.
Keep weight evenly distributed on platform.
Always be aware of the other person’s position. Use
extreme caution when weapons are used to prevent
personal injury.
WARNING WARNING
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when climb-
ing a ladder treestand. Proper three-point contact means
having either two feet with one hand or one foot with
two hands on the step portion of the ladder or climbing
aid at all times.
Always wear the appropriate footwear when using a
ladder treestand. A good non-slip safety boot is import-
ant to your personal safety. Be especially careful that
boot laces do not get hooked on the stand or any of its
components (tuck shoelaces into boots before climbing).
Never stand on seat, it is designed for sitting only.
Do Not allow excessive strap buildup in ratchet as this
will prevent the ratchet teeth from engaging causing
slippage.
Always attach ratchet straps securely while using
this product!
If seat is removable, be certain it is securely attached
when in use.
Some models include a shooting rail. Never lean against,
lean over, or sit on shooting rail. It is designed as a shoot-
ing rest only. Always be aware that the shooting rail can
swing to one side or pivot up and down.
Some models include a footrest, which is designed as a
footrest only. Never stand on footrest! Always be fully
aware of foot placement.
Some models include a multi-piece stabilizer bar system.
Be sure attachment hardware goes through both the
extension tube and the stabilizer bar.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE SETUP AND USE
STOP
Double check assembly steps to be certain you have
correctly assembled this product.
Study your new stand to become familiar with all of its
features and design. At ground level, following provided
use instructions, practice attaching stand to tree and re-
moving stand from tree. Practice sitting, standing, and
using this product before attaching overhead. Save
these instructions for future reference. You must always
use the provided Fall Arrest System (FAS) while using
this product.
Always use at least three (3) people to install or take
down a ladder treestand. Always have two people stabi-
lize the ladder before climbing to the platform the rst
time after every set-up.
Be absolutely sure the tree blade(s) on stand and the
stabilizer bar are contacting tree before climbing ladder.
Stabilizer bar must always be correctly and securely
attached to ladder and tree before climbing ladder.
Make sure ladder bottom is rmly seated on dry, level
ground. Attach your harness tether to the tree before
securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto
platform. Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions.
Never ascend or descend ladder without criss-cross
straps/ropes securely holding ladder to tree and sta-
bilizer bar securely attached. Failure to correctly perform
these steps can cause the ladder to collapse/buckle-over
backwards during the initial ascent to attach ratchet
strap resulting in serious injury or death.
Always lean forward as you climb and attach your har-
ness to the tree before securing the platform to the tree
and stepping onto the platform.

1. Select a straight, healthy tree. Do Not attempt to install on
a tree that is not healthy.
2. Place the assembled product lying on the ground in front
of the tree with the bottom ladder section approximately
ve feet away from the base of tree.
3. Position one person at bottom end of ladder. This person
has to prevent the ladder end from tilting up and from
skidding across the ground when platform end is lifted.
4. Position two people at the platform end of the ladder,
lift the platform end and continue uprighting by walking
toward bottom end of ladder while moving hands along
ladder legs. Stand ladder up against chosen tree on dry,
level ground. Use caution when ladder comes over center
against the tree, as shown by arrow“A”. SEE FIGURE 14.
5. Once elevated completely, carefully slide the base so
that the sitting and standing platforms are parallel to the
ground, as shown by arrow“B”. SEE FIGURE 14.
6. Step back and look at the ladder top to see that both
the lower platform tree blade and upper tree blade are
contacting the tree. Adjust as needed so both of the tree
blades are contacting tree.
7. Step down hard on bottom step to push ladder legs into
the ground, as shown by arrow“C”. SEE FIGURE 14.
8. While two people hold the stand in place, the third person
should connect the horizontal stabilizer bar to the tree. Adjust
the length of the stabilizer bar as need so it contacts the tree
and is level to the ground. Then secure it to the tree with the
6' cam strap (37) by forming a cinch knot with both ends of
strap and running the long end of strap through the cam
buckle. SEE FIGURES 15 & 16.
9. a. Loop the d-loop end of the two 16' criss cross straps (39)
through the loop end to form a cinch knot around the ladder
rail tube. Secure beneath a step rung, at the stabilizer bar
height location. SEE FIGURE 17A.
b. With the stand level and being held in place by two people,
the third person must cross one of the 16' criss cross straps
(39) behind the tree and feed the free end through the
opposite d-loop. SEE FIGURE 17B-E.
c. Criss cross the other 16' strap (39), forming an "X" pattern
on the of the tree and feed the free end through the opposite
d-loop. SEE FIGURE 17B-E.
During installation and removal of ladder treestands, you
must always and properly use the included Full Body Harness
(Fall Arrest System). Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions
included with this product for proper use.

10. Make sure the criss cross straps and stabilizer bar strap are
snug and the tree blades are still both contacting the tree.
NOTE: This ground level ladder-to-tree attachment will
prevent the ladder from pulling away from the tree while
ascending to the top for nal two 6’ ratchet straps (38)
attachment. The same holds true when the ladder is
removed.
11. With two people securely holding the ladder, the third person
must now use the three point contact climbing method to
slowly climb the ladder. Make sure to keep a constant hand
grip on the ladder at all times. Always lean forward, toward
the tree, to keep the platform tree blade against the tree.
NOTE: Make sure the ladder bottom is rmly seated on
dry, level ground. Attach your harness tether to the tree
before securing the platform to the tree and stepping
onto platform. Refer to the Full Body Harness instructions
included with this product.
12. a. Standing on ladder step, lean toward tree with ratchet strap
(38) now in hand, hook“S”hook with long strap through hole
provided on bottom tree blade. Feed the long strap through
the center (slot) of ratcheting mechanism and back around
through tightening lever. SEE FIGURES 18A, 18B AND 19.
NOTE: Be sure you feed the long strap correctly so there are
no twists in the strap.
b. Wrap entire ratchet assembly around tree and hook other“S”
hook through opposite upper tree blade hole. Pull tail of long
strap until most of the slack is taken out. Be sure entire strap is
even and at the same level all around tree.“Ratchet”tight to tree,
this will securely attach ladder to tree and prevent movement.
SEE FIGURES 18B AND 18C.
c. Repeat steps 12a-12b for top tree blade.
NOTE: Make sure there is at least two full revolutions of strap
on the ratchet spool before the strap tightens. Proper tension
will ensure the stand is secured to the tree. Do not allow
excessive strap to build up in the ratchet as this will prevent
the ratchet teeth from engaging and can cause slippage.
To release ratchet, simply pull the release lever and open
tightening lever wide open (at). SEE FIGURE 18D.
13. If necessary, re-check and adjust the 6' ratchet straps (38), 16'
criss cross straps (39) and horizontal stabilizer bar assembly
to securely attach the treestand to the tree. The tree blades
must be touching the tree.
14. You are now ready to use your ladder stand!
