STEP 3: Install the X-Stand winch to the tree; position the
X-Stand winch on the side of the tree facing the treestand.
Place the X-stand winch on the ground at the base of the tree
with the crank handle toward the left (Fig 7).
Insert the loose end of the supplied ratchet strap through the
rectangular holes located on the side of the winch bracket.
Position the ratchet end of the strap behind the tree. Wrap
the loose end of the strap around the tree so it can reach the
ratchet end of the strap.
Next insert the loose end of the strap into the ratchet leaving
some slack do not pull tight at this time. With the help
of another person, Slide the winch bracket up the tree to
approximately chest height, (4-5 feet) Note: be sure that the
X-Stand winch is lined up parallel with the ladder.
While another person is holding the winch in place flat against
the tree carefully pull the slack out of the strap through the
ratchet end of the strap and tighten.
Next set the winch lever to the free spool position. Carefully pull
out enough strap to reach the farthest rung on the treestand
ladder right below to the stands platform. When pulling out to
the winch strap, make sure the strap is not twisted and is flat/
parallel to the ladder.
Next attach the tether strap with the two sewn loops onto the
top rung of the ladderstand by wrapping it around each vertical
post and bring each loop end over the top rung as shown
in Fig 8.
Connect the hook end of the winch strap to the loop ends of
the tether strap. Align the two loop ends evenly in the center
of the ladder so that when the winch strap starts to tighten it
is pulling directly down the middle of the ladder (Fig 9). Make
sure the strap pulls straight and is not pulling left or right. If the
winch strap is not aligned properly the ladder could swing
to the left or the right causing it to fall and be damaged or
cause injury to anyone in the way.
