- Page 7 CAUTION DO NOT USE the Viper Ultra platform without a Viper Ultra seat or other climber. NEVER attempt to climb without a seat climber.

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.

Back your heel into the bungee heel cord (figure 35) then slide your boot under the RapidClimb stirrup. Make sure that your boot is secure under the stirrup as shown in figure 36.
