SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR LADDER TREESTAND USAGE
WARNING! You must use at least three (3) adults to install and/or take down this ladder
treestand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must install and attach the crisscross straps and the described stabilization
devices as described in this manual prior to attempting to climb this treestand. These devices add
necessary balance and support for the complete climbing system. Failure to properly use and
attach those items, and to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! When installing this ladder treestand you must bounce on the first rung to set the
ladder into the ground prior to attempting to climb any higher. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must check every ladder section connection every time you use the stand
before you leave the ground. The sections should be connected securely using the provided u-
brackets and bolts which add support and ensure proper connection. If you find that the ladder
sections are separating, or if any of the u-brackets or bolts are not properly attached, DO NOT
USE the treestand. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must check the ground under the treestand to make sure it is firm and level.
Sloping ground or uneven surfaces (e.g., one foot on a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift
off the tree as you climb. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must maintain three (3) points-of-contact when climbing the ladder (i.e., two feet-
one hand, two hands-one foot). Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or
death!
WARNING! You must always lean forward as you climb and attach your full-body fall arrest
harness to the tree before securing the platform to the tree and stepping onto the standing
platform. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Always have a second adult present or at least accessible by cell phone or other
means when using this product. The ability to get help quickly may save your life in the event of a
fall. A good non-slip safety boot is important for your safety. Be especially careful that bootlaces
do not get hooked on the pod stand (tuck shoelaces into boot before climbing). Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
