Warnings and Precautions
81052- Viper Classic - 2007
Warning

Section 1. Assembling Your New Treestand.
Please contact us at www.summitstands.com or 256-353-
0634 to obtain any missing parts or if your DVD does not
work.
Comfort Pads. The camouaged foam pad for the frame
can be easily attached for additional comfort and noise
reduction. The cable ties for attaching the pads are “in-line”
cable ties: Note the correct and incorrect ways of attaching.
To attach - pull the cable ties snug, cut off the excess, and
rotate the clasp to the underside of the pad. The Viper
Classic has one pad that wraps around the front of the stand
and covers each arm. Place the long pad over the front of the
seat bar with equal lengths extending on each side and with
the opening down. Use the six cable ties to secure the pad.
Backpack Straps. The backpack straps consist of three
parts - two 1” wide straps each with sewn in loop and a 2”
wide strap with buckles and a loop sewn in. Place the looped
end on the 2” wide strap around the middle of the second
platform rung from the front of the stand as shown in Figure
1. Push all of the remaining 2” strap through the loop as
shown in Figure 2. Pull tight to create a cinch knot. Place
the looped end of the 1” wide strap around the stand tubing
(A) and bring the loose end back through the loop as shown
in Figure 3. Repeat for other side. Thread the loose end of
each 1” strap through the buckle on the 2” strap as shown in
Figure 4.

Incorrect
Section 2. Use of the Viper Classic
Part 1. Attachment To The Tree.
Step 1. Attach the base platform to the tree rst. To do this,
pull down and hold the QuickDraw cable spring as shown in
Figure 10. This will release the locking tab from the cable,
allowing you to remove it from the cable bracket.
Step 2. Take one end of the cable around the tree and begin
to slide it down into the tubing as shown in Figure 11. Once
the cable slides easily into the tubing (it helps to bend the
cable upward while pushing down on it), you are ready to
place it in its nal position.
Step 3. Pull the cable towards the back of the tree and
“seat” one of the cable stops against the back of the bracket,
as shown in Figure 12. The QuickDraw cable spring will
“lock” into place behind one of the cable stops.
Step 4. Your cable bracket should now look like Figure 13.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Figure 3 Figure 4
A
High Traction Strips. Included with your Viper Classic
Treestand are 5 self adhesive traction strips for the platform
rungs. To apply, peal the backing off, line up the strip in the
center of each rung and press the strips down to secure as
shown in Figure 9.
RapidClimb Stirrups. The two (2) RapidClimb stirrups t
on the upright arms of the platform. Simply slide one stirrup
on each side of the platform so that they are on the inside of
the platform and facing down as shown in Figure 5. Once
positioned, secure with the bolt and wing nut provided as
show in Figure 6. Occasional readjustment may be required
as your footwear needs change. Wrap the supplied bungee
cord around one side of the platform upright bars and push
the S-hook through the loop as shown in Figure 7. Hook the
S-hook around the opposite platform upright bar and back
onto itself as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8
Figure 7
Figure 6
Figure 5

WARNING: If the QuickDraw cable spring does not lock
into place behind the cable stop, DO NOT USE THE
TREESTAND! Contact Summit to obtain the proper
corrective action.
Step 5. If necessary, go to the other side of the tree and
position the other end of the cable by repeating the steps of
pulling the QuickDraw cable spring, sliding the cable into
the tubing, and assuring that the QuickDraw cable spring has
locked into position.
NOTE: The sole purpose of the plastic coating on the
cable is to eliminate noise. After some use you may notice
some abrasions, peeling or possibly cuts in the coating.
This coating does not affect the performance or safety of
your treestand. It is there to eliminate unnecessary noise
when sliding the cable down into the tubing. WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE CABLE IF IT HAS BROKEN OR
DAMAGED METAL STRANDS! Call immediately to
order a replacement if this should occur.
To ensure that your treestand is level at the height at
which you will be hunting, observe the relative change in
the tree diameter between the base of the tree and the nal
treestand height. It is very important to adjust the treestand
base platform and seat at the base of the tree such that the
treestand base platform will be level at the height you hunt.
Trees commonly found in swamp or marsh areas have a
tendency to swell at their base, and these may require a
greater starting angle in order for your treestand to be level
- as compared to a normally tapered tree.
WARNING: Usually, the front edge of the treestand (the
edge away from the tree) should be 4-6 inches higher than
the edge against the tree (See Figure 14). The treestand seat
climber attaches above the standing platform and should
also have the same basic angle as the platform before you
start to climb. WARNING: The standing platform and
climber MUST BE attached to each other with the tether
rope supplied, as shown in Figure 15. Wrap the rope around
TWICE before tying it off.
Figure 10

Figure 11 Figure 12
Part 2. Climbing With Your New Stand.
Step 1. Now that your platform and seat section are attached
to the tree, you are ready to climb. It is MANDATORY that
you use a safety harness as you climb. Be sure to read the
safety harness instructions for proper use of your safety
harness. Simply attach the safety line to the tree above
the seat climber and secure it to the harness for climbing as
shown in Figure 16.
Step 2. Your RapidClimb stirrups and bungee heel cords
should be already attached to your treestand. To climb, back
your heel into the bungee heel cord (Figure 17) then simply
slide your boot under the RapidClimb stirrup. Make sure
that your boot is secure under the stirrup as shown in Figure
18.
At this point IT IS REQUIRED THAT YOU attach your
safety harness to the safety line around the tree. Hook the
seat back elastic bungee cord as shown in Figure 19 to keep
it secure while you climb.
Step 3. To begin climbing, raise your seat climber up to just
below waist height, re-engage the climber, sit on the padded
bar and grasp the upright arms very rmly as shown in
Figure 20. Viper SS Shown, Classic Similar.
Step 4. With all of your weight back on the padded bar,
disengage the platform by lifting the treestand platform, as
shown in Figure 21.
Figure 13
Figure 14
Figure 15
Figure 16

WARNING: DO NOT USE the Viper Classic without a
Viper Classic seat or other climber. The climbers provided
with this stand is designed to aid you in the correct operation
of the treestand while climbing by keeping your weight away
from the tree. The seat climber is also built so that it ts
securely with the platform for carrying.
Part 3. Using Your New Stand.
WARNING: NEVER DISCONNECT FROM YOUR
SAFETY LINE ONCE YOU ARE IN THE TREE!!
Step 1. When you get to your hunting height (do not climb
higher than 15 feet; it is unnecessary) and have assured that
your treestand is level, position your seat climber slightly
below waist level. Slightly lower will be more comfortable
but higher makes for less movement when you stand.
Step 2. Wrap the supplied green tourniquet buckle strap (1”
strap with spring loaded buckle) around the tree and through
the seat frame as shown in Figure 23. Securely tighten the
strap to prevent the notched teeth area from losing contact
with the tree.
Step 3. Unhook the bungee cord that held the seat back rest
secure while you were climbing. Position the seat back rest
by wrapping each end of the bungee cord around the climbing
cable and hooking the two hooks together as shown in Figure
24. The bungee cord will prevent the seat backrest from
falling forwards if you stand up.
Step 4. With your safety harness attached to the tree above
the climber, simply pull your feet, one at a time, from their
secured position under the foot straps.
Step 5. Position your safety harness to minimize the amount
of slack in the safety line and tether strap then carefully sit
down. The treestand seat will provide maximum comfort
when the seat pad is near horizontal rather than tipped
down in the front. The seat height can be easily raised (for
bow hunting) or lowered (for gun hunting) by adjusting
the buckles up or down the webbing See Figure 25.
CAUTION: The adjustments should be made on the ground.
Both sides must be adjusted evenly so the seat is level side to
side. Sliding the webbing straps forward or backward on the
frame give additional comfort.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE
LEVEL OF THE PLATFORM OR SEAT CLIMBER
BY REMOVING THE CABLE FROM THE FRAME
WHILE YOU ARE IN THE TREE! THOSE
ADJUSTMENTS MUST ALWAYS BE MADE AT
GROUND LEVEL!!
Figure 22
WARNING: DO NOT TIP YOUR WEIGHT ONTO
YOUR TOES unless you are ready to move the platform.
This will tend to disengage the platform from the tree. The
RapidClimb Stirrups are located in such a position that equal
distribution of weight will secure the platform to the tree
while climbing.
Figure 18
Figure 17
Figure 21
Figure 20
Figure 19
Figure 23
Figure 24
Step 5. To re-engage the platform, simply rotate the edge
back against the tree upwards, as shown in Figure 22.
WARNING: DO NOT JUMP OR BOUNCE ON THE
PLATFORM OR SEAT to attempt to cause it to “dig”
into the tree. It is not necessary and may cause you to
inadvertently disengage the platform or seat.
Step 6. Now ease your weight back onto the platform (to
ensure that you have not placed it on an unseen knot or limb
on the backside of the tree), then slide your safety harness
rope up the tree. Repeat steps 3-6 until you are at your
desired hunting height.

Part 4. Climbing Down With Your New Stand.
Step 1. Reattach your treestand platform to your feet -
KEEP YOUR HARNESS SECURELY ATTACHED TO
THE TREE until reaching the ground. Follow the steps in
Part 2, Step 2.
Step 2. Disconnect the elastic cord that has been holding the
foam seat in place and fold the seat up. Secure the backrest
and seat as shown previously in Figure 19. Disconnect and
store the strap that has held the seat frame to the tree (shown
in previous Figure 23).
Step 3. Place the seat climber at about knee level, sit on
the padded bar, and grasp the upright arms as you did when
climbing (see Figure 26).
Step 4. While rmly grasping the seat climber upright arms,
disengage the platform by lifting up and tipping the edge
closest to the tree downward. Once the platform has been
dislodged, you can lower it down (see previous Figure 21).
Make slow, even movements of 10-12 inches at a time.
Step 5. To re-engage, rotate the top edge of the treestand
closest to the tree upwards. Now carefully place your weight
back on the treestand. WARNING: DO NOT JUMP OR
BOUNCE ON THE PLATFORM OR SEAT to attempt to
cause it to “dig” into the tree. It is not necessary and may
cause you to inadvertently disengage the platform or seat.
Step 6. Slide your safety harness rope down to about chest
height and repeat steps 3-6 until you have reached the
bottom of the tree. NEVER disconnect your harness until
reaching the ground.
Part 5. Backpacking / Carrying Your New Treestand.
Your treestand is designed to “nest” together as one unit
making it easy to transport.
Step 1. Start with the seat climber portion of the stand, set it
on its end as shown in Figure 22. Rotate the arm pads so the
open gap faces in.
Step 2. Take the platform and slide it into the seat climber so
that its upright braces and cable bracket are next to the same
areas on the seat climber as shown in Figure 23.
Step 3. The teeth area on the platform should come into
contact with the “V” brace on the seat climber as shown in
Figure 24. From this position, pull the seat backrest through
the large gap in the platform as shown in Figure 25.
Step 4. Secure the seat to the stand by running the seat
bungee around the frame and clipping it off.
Step 5. The backpack straps will most likely be wedged in
behind the seat. Pull them out and around the seat webbing
and push the seat as far down in the frame as possible (see
Figure 26).
Step 6. Secure the top and platform together with the 1”
wide green strap with the spring loaded tourniquet buckle
as shown in Figure 27. This will prevent seat the seat and
the platform from making noise as you hike to your hunting
location.
Step 7. Use the backpack straps to carry the unit on your
back. Pull the loose end of the straps to tighten and pull up
on the buckle to release.

Figure 30

Section 4. Adjustments
The seat height can be adjusted by means of the two piece buckle
on each seat strap. This adjustment should be made on the ground and
both sides must be adjusted equally so the seat is level side to side.
The only adjustments that may be required on your Summit Tree-
stand would be the RapidClimb Stirrups, backpack straps or seat
height. The RapidClimb Stirrups should be adjusted before you go
hunting. Put your hunting boots on and step into the stirrups with the
treestand platform on a at surface. Loosen the wing nut and slide the
stirrups until they securely t your boots, then re-tighten the wing nuts.
To loosen the backpack straps, simply pull up on the thumb tabs. To
tighten them, pull down on the loose tag ends of the straps. This can
be done before or after the treestand is on your back.
Section 3. Maintenance and Care of Your Treestand.
Because of the quality construction techniques used in
manufacturing, your Summit Treestand is very durable under normal
hunting conditions. However, since all hunting equipment that is
exposed to the elements requires some maintenance and care, the
following guidelines for caring for your treestand should be used. DO
NOT leave your treestand outdoors when it is not being used. Any
tubing that is allowed to ll with rainwater and freeze WILL
rupture or burst. DO NOT use your treestand if this happens. If
your treestand is exposed to the elements, it will be necessary to cover
the seat to prevent rain and moisture from saturating the material.
This will extend the life of the seat material as well as make it more
comfortable the next time it is used.
Since the Viper Classic is constructed primarily out of steel, it is
very important to assure that any areas where the powdercoat nish
has been worn or chipped are properly cleaned and re-primed with a
quality metal primer to prevent the formation of rust. The nish that
is applied during manufacture is very durable and should only need
touch-ups in areas of heavy wear or accidental impact.
Should you damage any part of your Summit Treestand, contact
your nearest authorized Summit dealer or the factory to obtain the
proper corrective action procedure and/or replacement parts for the
treestand. Unauthorized repairs, modications, or alterations will
void the warranty and could degrade the integrity of the treestand.
You must perform periodic inspections of the treestand for damage.
WARNING: DO NOT use the treestand if ANY obvious or suspected
damage is observed. It is VERY IMPORTANT to inspect the cable
on your climbing treestand to ensure that there is no sign of frayed,
damaged or broken strands. If ANY such damage is noticed, you must
replace your cable IMMEDIATELY. Replacement covering for the
cables is also available. NOTE: The plastic covering on the cables
serves ONLY as a noise reducer. Over time your cable cover will
begin to wear. This is normal.
CAUTION: Look for nicks, gouges, cuts, cracks, bends, corrosion
or similar damage that can be the result of improper use or accidental
damage. For instance, this could occur if someone else used the
treestand without knowledge of its proper use, or if the treestand were
dropped, hit by a motor vehicle or subject to corrosive conditions, etc.
Summit Treestands have the highest structural integrity by design,
material selection and manufacturing techniques, but as its owner,
only your continued care will assure trouble free performance. When
the above-mentioned guidelines are followed, your Summit Treestand
will provide years of successful hunting.
Tips
You will easily learn how to use your
Summit treestand more efciently and
make it more effective for your hunting.
With proper practice you can learn to level your platform without
climbing down to re-position the cable. Pulling the cable against the
backside of the tree while you’re supporting the platform with your legs
can do this. While the cable is against the tree, position the platform
level and engage the front edge against the tree. This puts a slight
bend in the cable while keeping the platform level. Only minor level
adjustment, however, can be made using this technique. (The DVD
shows this technique).
Sometimes on a cold, dry, hard bark tree a rubbing noise can be
produced at the scalloped edge that engages the tree. This comes from
friction forces. It can be eliminated a couple of ways. First, simply
re-positioning your platform slightly will in most cases eliminate the
noise. Second, a liquid or candle/bowstring wax can be applied at the
intersection of the tree and the scalloped edge to reduce the friction.
Also, using a le to remove the nish and slightly upset (roughen) the
smooth metal surface contact points on the scallops can eliminate the
noise.
Changing your sitting position can relieve muscle stress and reduce
fatigue. This will allow a longer hunt and perhaps an opportunity for
a shot. Although it must be done slowly and quietly, repositioning and
changing the height of your seat by raising or lowing the seat frame
just a couple of inches could make a difference. This changes the hip to
knee angle. Moving
the seat straps, again slowly and quietly, forward
or backward on their support bar will alter the sitting position also.
Being comfortable will result in no movement and reduce being
detected by game either from sight or from sound.
Figure 32
Figure 31

Harness Suspension
It is necessary and very important that someone knows your hunting
location and time of return. It is also very important that you carry (on
your person) emergency communication devices such as a cell phone,
two-way radio, whistle, signal are or preferably a PLD (Personal
Locator Device - FCC approved July, ‘03). When triggered, a PLD
will transmit an emergency signal to local rescue teams identifying
your location via satellite GPS coordinates. Wilderness outtters and
the internet are sources for these PLD’s.
Suspension trauma or blood pooling can occur when suspended
motionless in a harness for periods of time. This can lead to
unconsciousness. WARNING: IF YOU HAVE TO HANG IN THE
TREE BEFORE HELP ARRIVES, YOU NEED TO EXERCISE
YOUR LEGS BY PUSHING OFF FROM THE TREE OR BY
USING THE ENCLOSED SUSPENSION RELIEF STRAP. SEE
THE TREESTAND HARNESS INSTRUCTIONS AND THE
ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Self extraction may be necessary in the unfortunate situation that
A) No one knows your location, B) Your communication efforts
are exhausted, and C) You’re condent that you have the strength,
dexterity and ability to perform self-extraction and D) You decide this
is your “absolute last resort”. It is necessary to carry a device to assist
with this self-extraction. Simple devices such as screw-in steps or
a rope “Tree Descender” (available from Summit) will allow you to
remove the weight from your harness. This may enable you to return
to the treestand/ladder/climbing steps or slowly descend the tree.
Good Hunting and Hunt Safe!
