LOUNGER TREE SEAT
SETUP AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
1. This tree seat is designed to be used at a height that
allows the user's feet to be on the ground at all times
when in use. Use as a ground seat only.
2. Attach the long strap to either upper corner of backrest
frame. Wrap the loop end of strap around the backrest rim
and feed opposite end of strap through the loop. Pull tight
forming a cinch knot. This permanently attaches this strap
to the backrest rim. SEE FIGURE 2.
3. Repeat step 2 for strap with ratchet by attaching it to the
opposite upper corner of backrest rim. Wrap the loop
end of strap around the backrest rim and feed the ratchet
assembly through the loop. Pull tight forming a cinch
knot. This permanently attaches this strap to the backrest
rim. SEE FIGURE 3.
4. Standing on the ground, wrap long strap around tree and
feed the long strap through the center (slot) of ratcheting
mechanism and back around through tightening lever.
SEE FIGURE 4.
NOTE: Be sure you feed the long strap correctly so there
are no twists in the strap.
5. 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 the tree seat to tree and prevent movement.
SEE FIGURE 5. Make sure all four contact points of frames
are touching tree (two on tree hugger and two on back-
rest). Always test before sitting on the seat.
NOTE: To release ratchet, simply pull the release lever
and open tightening lever wide open (flat).

seat height from the ground. Never attach this ground
seat at a height that will not allow you to have both feet
on the ground at all times during use.
