CLIMBING DOWN
1. Reattach your treestand platform to your feet.
Refer to Step 2 under Climbing With Your New
Stand on Page 8.
2. On the Razor 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 in figure
40. Disconnect and store the strap that has held the
seat frame to the tree (figure 47).
3. Place the seat climber at about knee level, sit on
the padded bar or rest your weight on the arm rests
for the OpenShot, and grasp the upright arms as you
did when climbing (see figure 45 Razor and figure
46 OpenShot).
4. While firmly 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 figure 43 Razor and figure 44 OpenShot).
Make slow, even movements of 10-12 inches at a
time.
5. To re-engage, rotate the top edge of the treestand
closest to the tree upwards. Now carefully place your
weight back on the platform.
6. Once the platform is secure, slide your safety
harness tether strap down to about chest height and
repeat steps 3-6 until you have reached the bottom of
the tree.
6. Once the platform is secure, stand and slide your
safety harness tether strap down to about chest
height and repeat steps 3-6 until you have reached
the bottom of the tree.
WARNING
!
NEVER DISCONNECT FROM YOUR SAFETY HARNESS
OR SAFETY LINE ONCE YOU LEAVE THE GROUND!!
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.

USE
1. When you get to your hunting height (do not
climb higher than 15 feet; it is unnecessary) and you
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.
2. With your safety harness attached to the tree
above the climber, pull your feet, one at a time, from
their secured position under the RapidClimb stirrups.
3. Wrap the supplied green tourniquet buckle strap
(1” green strap with spring loaded buckle) around the
tree and through the seat frame as shown in figure
47. Securely tighten the strap to prevent the notched
teeth area from losing contact with the tree.
4. On the Razor 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
48 or by wrapping it around the tree. The bungee
cord will prevent the seat backrest from falling
forwards if you stand up.
5. The treestand seat will provide maximum comfort
when the seat pad is near horizontal rather than
tipped down in the front. The seat height on the
Razor can be easily raised (for bow hunting) or
lowered (for gun hunting) by adjusting the two piece
buckles up or down the webbing.
Both seat sides must be adjusted evenly so the seat
is level side to side. Sliding the webbing straps
forward or backward on the frame provides additional
comfort.
WARNING
!
NEVER DISCONNECT FROM YOUR SAFETY HARNESS
OR SAFETY LINE ONCE YOU LEAVE THE GROUND!!
!
CAUTION
Seat strap adjustments must be made on the ground.
