RAPIDCLIMB STIRRUPS
Occasional readjustment might be necessary as your footwear needs change or so that the stirrup will fit between the platform
rungs when folding the platform down. To adjust, simply loosen the wing nut and slide the stirrup up or down. It is not
necessary to completely remove the nut to adjust the stirrup.

ATTACHMENT TO THE TREE
1. Attach the base platform to the tree first. To do
this, pull down and hold the QuickDraw cable spring
as shown in figure 3. This will release the locking tab
from the cable, allowing the cable to be pushed past
the locking tab. Once the cable has been pushed past
the locking tab, you can release the trigger.
2. Push the cable into the stand tubing until the cable
stop can be lifted up out of the bracket. The cable
should be loose at this point. You can now pull the
cable out of the stand.
3. Take one end of the cable around the tree and
begin to slide it down into the tubing as shown in
figure 4. Once the cable slides easily into the tubing
(it helps to bend the cable upward while pushing
down on it as it is inserted), you are ready to place it
in its final position.
4. Pull the cable towards the back of the tree and
“seat” the cable stop against the back of the bracket,
as shown in figure 5. The QuickDraw cable spring will
“lock” into place behind one of the cable stops.
You do not have to hold the QuickDraw trigger to
lock the cable in place.
5. Your cable bracket should now look like figure 6.
6. 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.
WARNING
!
Read and understand the harness usage
instructions before attempting to climb! Be sure
to maintain full body safety harness attachment to
the tree at all times after leaving the ground.
WARNING
!
If the QuickDraw cable spring does not lock into
place behind the cable stop as shown in figure 7, DO
NOT USE THE TREESTAND since the cable can release
resulting in a user to fall! Contact summit to obtain
the proper corrective action.
NOTICE
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
!
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. DO NOT
USE THE CABLE IF IT HAS BROKEN OR DAMAGED
METAL STRANDS! Call immediately to order a
replacement if this should occur.
QUICKDRAW

3CABLE BRACKET
NOTICE
Based on usual taper - in order to ensure the
platform and seat climber are level at hunting
height, 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 8).
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.
page 6
ATTACHMENT TO THE TREE (continued)
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 final 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.
7. Repeat Steps 1-6 for the Seat Climber portion of the Treestand.
9
CLIMBING UP WITH YOUR NEW STAND
ALWAYS refer to the written safety harness
instructions for proper use of your safety harness.
1. Following the Harness Instructions, attach the
harness tether to the safety strap. Loop the strap
around the tree to secure it. See figure 11.
2. Your RapidClimb stirrups and bungee heel cord
should be already attached to your treestand. To use,
back your heel into the bungee heel cord (figure 12)
then simply slide your boot under the RapidClimb
stirrup. Make sure that your boot is secure under the
stirrup as shown in figure 13.
3. On all models except the 180 and 180 Max, hook
the black elastic bungee cord around the seat as
shown in figure 14 to keep it secure while you climb.
On the 180 and 180 Max you will sit in the seat and
face the tree to climb.
WARNING
!
At this point IT IS MANDATORY AND REQUIRED
that you attach your safety harness to the safety
strap around the tree and remain connected at all
times after leaving the ground.

13 14
UMBILICAL ROPE
The included umbilical rope attaches the seat climber
to the platform. In the event that control of the
platform is lost, the platform will only fall the length
of the umbilical rope. This should allow you to
retrieve the platform and re-seat it onto the tree.
Umbilical rope length should be minimized so that
the platform can be retrieved with your feet if it is
hanging from the rope.
1. Loop the umbilical rope around the platform yolk
twice and tie off with a double knot as shown in
figure 9.
2. Loop the umbilical rope around the seat climber
yolk twice and tie off with a double knot as shown in
figure 10.
3. The platform should now be connected to the seat
climber. You should only have to untie one knot to
remove the rope for backpacking.
WARNING
!
The seat climber and platform MUST BE attached
to each other with the umbilical rope, as shown in
figure 9 and figure 10 before climbing.

CLIMBING UP WITH YOUR NEW STAND (continued)
4. To begin climbing, raise your seat climber up to just below waist height
and grasp the upright arms very firmly as shown in figure 14.
5. With all of your weight back on the padded bar, or in the seat on the
180 models, disengage the platform by lifting as shown in figure 15. Pulling
up and slightly out on the platform while pointing your toes down should
disconnect the platform from the tree.
6. Bring the platform up by bending your knees and raising your legs
straight up. Take care not to snag the cable on tree bark or limbs.
7. To re-engage the platform, rotate the platform down until the teeth
make contact with front of the tree and then rotate the platform down until
the cable makes contact with the back of the tree as shown in figure 16.
The RapidClimb stirrups are located in such a position that equal distribution
of weight will secure the platform to the tree while climbing.
8. 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). Once
the platform is secure, stand and slide your safety harness tether up the tree.
9. Once the platform is fully supporting your weight you can disengage the
seat climber and raise it back up to just below waist height as shown again in
figure 14. Repeat steps 4-9 until you are at your hunting height.
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.

!
CAUTION
DO NOT USE the Viper, Goliath, 180, 180 Max or Titan without a Viper,
Golaith, 180, 180 Max or Titan seat or other climber. NEVER attempt to
climb without a seat climber. The climbers provided with these stands are
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 fits securely with the platform for carrying.
page 8
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
17. Securely tighten the strap to prevent the notched
teeth area from losing contact with the tree.
4. 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 18 or by wrapping
it around the tree. The bungee cord will prevent the
seat backrest from falling forward 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 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.

WARNING
!
ALWAYS position the safety harness to minimize
the amount of slack in the safety line.

CLIMBING DOWN
1. Reattach your treestand platform to your feet.
Back your heel into the bungee heel cord (figure 19)
then slide your boot under the RapidClimb stirrup.
Make sure that your boot is secure under the stirrup
as shown in figure 20.
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 in figure 21.
Disconnect and store the strap that has held the seat
frame to the tree (figure 22).
WARNING

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.
BACKPACKING
Your treestand is designed to “nest” together as one unit making it easy to transport. Viper shown, others similar.
1. Untie the umbilical rope from the seat climber and wrap it around the platform yolk several times to secure it.
2. Start with the seat climber portion of the stand, set it on its end as shown in figure 25.
3. 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 26.
4. The teeth area on the platform should come into contact with the “V” brace on the seat climber. From this position, pull the
seat backrest through the large gap in the platform as shown in figure 27.
5. Secure the seat to the stand by running the seat bungee around the frame and clipping it off. (figure 28)
6. The backpack straps straps will most likely be wedged in behind the seat at this point. Pull them out and around the seat
webbing and push the seat as far down in the frame as possible (see figure 29).
7. Secure the top and platform together with the 1” wide green strap with the spring loaded tourniquet buckle as shown in
figure 30. This will prevent seat the seat and the platform from making noise as you hike to your hunting location.
8. Use the backpack straps to carry the unit on your back, tree teeth down, as shown in figure 31. Pull the loose end of the
straps to tighten and pull up on the buckle to release.

BACKPACKING (GROUP A STANDS)
5b
CLIMBING DOWN (continued)
3. Place the seat climber at about knee level, sit on
the padded bar (or in the seat on the 180 models),
and grasp the upright arms as you did when climbing
(see figure 23).
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 24). 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, 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.
