INSTALLATION AND USE
ATTACHING TO THE TREE
1. Be sure that all tie ropes are hanging free. Place the
assembled pole next to the tree so that the bottom oval
and all other sections are the same distance from the
tree (See figure 6.)
CAUTION
!
All three stand-offs should contact the tree freely.
DO NOT FORCE a stand-off to make contact by
bending the ladder sections. If this happens,
reposition the SwifTree or locate a more suitable tree.
2. The SwifTree must be straight and vertical before it
can be used. Carefully press your weight on the first
wire rung of the bottom section until it settles firmly
and completely into the ground.
3. On the bottom ladder section - wrap the 1/4" tie
rope tightly around the tree as shown in figure 7. This
rope will be attached to the wire loop about 20" down
from the end of the ladder section. The rope MUST
be wrapped around so that it makes a horizontal loop
around the tree and so that it has no slack. This can
easily be done by pushing the ladder section so that
the stand-off bracket is firmly against the tree before
bringing the rope around.
4. Bring the rope through one side of the welded loop
as shown in figure 8.
