INSTALLATION AND USE
!
Use of a lineman's style hook up is mandatory when hanging
or using your Bucksteps. See your harness instructions for
information on using a lineman's belt!
SETTING UP
1. Take one Buckstep section and press it firmly against the tree.
For the first (bottom) section, this is made easier by holding it
against the tree with your leg. Wrap the cam buckle end around
the tree as shown in figure 6. There should not be any twists in
the strap as it runs around the tree.
2. Bring the sewn loop of the strap through the center hole in the
bracket as shown in figure 6. Wrap the loop around the ears on
the bracket as shown in figure 7 and 8.
3. Pull the strap tight as shown in figure 9.
!
The looped end MUST be hooked around both ears as shown
in Figure 9.
4. Your first Buckstep section should be hanging loosely on the
tree. Pull the free end of the cam lock buckle strap as shown in
figure 10.
5. You must pull down on the Buckstep to secure it firmly in place
as shown in Figure 11. The step may slide down the tree until the
strap tightens up.
6. ALWAYS CHECK THE STABILITY OF EACH BUCKSTEP SECTION
BEFORE CLIMBING ONTO IT!
!
Before proceeding YOU MUST properly attach a lineman's
style belt (from a properly worn full body harness to the
tree) in order to support your weight. See your Harness
Instructions for details. A full body harness and lineman's
belt MUST BE USED AT ALL TIMES when installing or
removing any hang-on climbing aids or hang-on stands.
Using a lineman's belt will allow you to use two hands when
hanging the steps and it prevent you from falling backwards while
climbing and securing the steps.
Carefully climb onto the bottom Buckstep section.
7. USING A PULL UP ROPE - pull the next Buckstep section up to
you. Repeat steps 1-6 to secure other sections.
!
Do not place any Buckstep section more than 18 inches above
the section below it.
8. Repeat Step 7 for any remaining sections. ALWAYS Position
your last Buckstep section so that you step down onto your
treestand platform.
