SETUP AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
1. With assembled product lying on the ground in assembled position,
position one person at bottom end of ladder lying on the ground.
This person has to prevent the ladder end from tilting up when platform
end is lifted and prevent the ladder from skidding across ground.
2. a. Position (2) people at the platform end of the ladder, lift the platform
end, and continue uprighting by walking toward bottom end of ladder
and moving hands along ladder legs. Stand ladder up against chosen
straight tree on dry, level ground. Use caution when ladder comes over
center against tree.
b. Step back and look at the ladder top to see that it is level. Adjust as
needed to achieve a level platform at top.
c. Step down hard on bottom step to push ladder legs into the ground.
d. Wrap the 9' rope attached to the stabilizer bar around tree and tie the
free end to the link welded on stabilizer bar at the stabilizer bar height
location. Secure the ladder tight so that the stabilizer bar is at a right angle
to the tree. Adjust stabilizer bar length as necessary so it contacts tree.
SEE FIGURE 4. Be absolutely sure the tree blade on platform and the
stabilizer bar are both contacting tree.
e. Wrap the previously attached 15’ tie-off ropes hanging down from
platform, around the back side of tree in opposite directions of each
other. Pull the ropes snug and tie them to the ladder at the stabilizer bar
height location. This ground level ladder-to-tree attachment will prevent
the ladder from pulling away from the tree while ascending to top for final
ratchet strap attachment. The same holds true when ladder removal is
necessary. SEE FIGURE 6.
3. With two people securely holding the ladder, use the three point contact
climbing method to slowly climb the ladder and carefully keep a constant
hand grip on the ladder at all times. Always lean forward, toward tree, to
keep top section tree blade against the tree. Be certain ladder bottom
is firmly seated on dry, level ground.

USING YOUR FULL BODY HARNESS
(FALL ARREST SYSTEM)
PUTTING ON YOUR FULL BODY HARNESS
1. With the Full Body Harness (FAS) lying on the ground, familiarize yourself
with all of its design and features. SEE FIGURE 1.
2. Loosen both leg straps to the maximum position and unthread the waist
belt completely. Doing both of these actions will allow you to put the Full
Body Harness (FAS) on easier.
3. Now holding the harness, locate the (2) shoulder straps labeled “LEFT
SHOULDER” and “RIGHT SHOULDER”, and spread them apart to make
sure there are no twists or tangles in the harness. SEE FIGURE 2.
4. Position yourself in front of the harness and proceed to step through each
leg loop as if you were putting on a pair of pants. SEE FIGURE 3.
5. Pull harness up your body to chest height where you will slide your left
arm through the “LEFT SHOULDER” strap and your right arm through
the “RIGHT SHOULDER” strap as if you were putting on a jacket. SEE
FIGURE 4.
NOTE: Be sure there are no twists in leg or shoulder straps. The
“LEFT SHOULDER” and “RIGHT SHOULDER” printing should be
away from your body so you can read the words while wearing the
Full Body Harness (FAS). If not, the harness is on inside out and
must be switched.
