TREESTAND SAFETY WARNINGS
NEVER remove any safety warning
stickers from this product.
Safety must be your first priority
during the use of this product.
NEVER adjust your stand while in use. Practice the attachment of this treestand at ground level before using in a hunting environment. ALWAYS ensure that
you and your treestand are safely secured to a healthy tree. Your tree stand MUST be attached tightly to the tree and secured in place. If the stand is not secure,
it may shift while in use, resulting in serious injury or death.
The Installation Cross Straps and Stabilizer Bar(s) MUST be properly installed before each use of the treestand.
ALWAYS inspect every ladder section connection every time you use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder sections are separating, with the help of at
least two other people, lower the stand to the ground, make adjustments, and reinstall.
ALWAYS check the ground below the tree stand to make sure it is firm and level. Sloping ground or uneven terrain (one side of a rock or root) can cause your
tree stand to tilt or shift.
ALWAYS maintain three points of contact when climbing the tree stand. (Two feet and one hand or one foot and two hands.)
DO NOT leave your treestand outside since weather or animals may cause damage. Tree growth can also cause stress and damage straps and buckles. It must
be stored inside when not in use.
NEVER wear jewelry or loose fitting clothing, which can cause hazardous conditions. Clothing may be caught in your equipment and cause you to fall. You must
always wear non-slip or rubber boots. Shoelaces must be tucked into your boots. Rings and necklaces MUST NOT be worn.
NEVER use this treestand with a third person. The treestand is designed for use by ONE person or TWO people.
NEVER let children play with or use this treestand without adult supervision. This treestand is not a toy. No one under the age of 18 should attempt to use this
product without direct adult supervision.
DO NOT use tree stand if any nuts or bolts or parts are loose, bent, or crooked.
ALWAYS know your physical limitations. Don’t take chances. If you start thinking about how high you are, don’t go any higher. Instead, choose a minimum
height that will allow for safe, effective and comfortable hunting.
ALWAYS lean forward towards the tree as you climb and attach your harness to the tree BEFORE securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto the
platform. NEVER lean out from the treestand for any reason.
ALWAYS wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) (Harness) consisting of a full body safety harness after leaving the ground. ATMACertified Full Body Harness MUST
always be connected to yourself and the tree during ascending, hunting and descending. Single safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed and
should 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.
Failure to wear your Full Body Harness may result in serious injury or death.
Be aware that falls can occur at anytime after leaving the ground.
ALWAYS read and understand the manufacturer’s Warnings, expiration date (if applicable) and instructions on how to use and how to properly adjust the
harness. Practice the use of a full body safety harness at ground level in the presence of a responsible adult to experience the feeling of hanging suspended
before using in a hunting environment. Failure to follow harness instructions may result in not being able to return to the stand and being suspended in a
harness after a fall, or serious injury or possibly death. If the hunting location is unknown by anyone and communication efforts are unsuccessful, you MUST
have a personal plan for rescue/escape because prolonged suspension in a harness may be fatal. It is important to exercise the legs by pushing against the tree
or doing other forms of continuous leg exercises to avoid blood pooling while being suspended. Hunters with varying degrees of physical fitness may require
different plans to recover/escape the effects of prolonged suspension. Have a personal plan and practice it in the presence of a responsible adult before leaving
the ground. No one escape/rescue plan will work for every hunter on every tree in every circumstance. Only you can determine the best recovery/escape plan
for your situation before leaving the ground.
ALWAYS have a suspension relief device on your person and readily accessible while using a harness. These devices allow the user to relieve the load on the
lower extremities if suspended in a harness and help maintain circulation in the legs, mitigate suspension trauma (blood pooling) or allow descent to the ground.
Several optional products/systems are available that offer self-recovery or self-extraction from a fall when suspended in a harness. Some systems automatically
descend the user while others allow user control. One of these products/systems can be considered for use as an additional safety precaution against prolonged
suspension and suspension trauma, Be sure to follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the safe use of these products/systems.
Hunt from the ground when self-recovery escape is absent. There is time to make a correct decision on what action to take if a fall occurs while wearing a full
body harness. It is important to remember “DO NOT PANIC.” Remain calm and implement your practiced rescue, relief and recovery plan.
NEVER allow the tether strap to get under your chin or around our neck. The length of the harness tether MUST be minimized at all times. It should be adjusted
so that it is above the head with no slack (snug) in the sitting position and you should have the minimum amount of slack possible when climbing.
