Warnings
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR CLIMBING TREESTAND USAGE
WARNING! As a tree grows upward from the ground, it gradually narrows. When installing your
climber at ground level, you must consider this gradual narrowing and adjust your standing and
seating platforms slightly upward. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or
death!
WARNING! A connector strap has been included with your Game Winner climber. It is designed to
connect the standing platform to the seating platform. In the unlikely event you lose contact with
either while climbing, this connector strap allows you to regain control. Prior to climbing, insure this
connector strap is installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Standing and seating platform adjusments may only be made at ground level. Never
attempt to make adjustments while off the ground. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious injury or death!
WARNING! While climbing, adjustments to the full-body fall arrest harness lanyard/tree belt will be
frequent and must be coordinated with treestand movement to maintain the least amount of slack in
the lanyard that will allow for safe climbing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
injury or death!
WARNING! You must familiarize yourself with the use of your climber by practicing at ground level
before using in a hunting environment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
injury or death!
WARNING! Never leave a treestand in a tree for more than two (2) weeks (14 days). Weather,
elements, animals, vandalism, and/or other mechanisms could damage the treestand. Tree growth
can also stress and damage straps, chains, and buckles. 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 installing/removing or using a treestand. 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 treestand or climbing aids (tuck shoelaces into boot
before climbing). Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! At a minimum, replace tree straps and cables every two years or sooner. If wear,
damage, deterioration, rust, cuts, tears, rot, etc. or any other damage is detected or suspected, do
not use the treestand and replace immediately. Only replace with official Game Winner
replacement parts. The use of unauthorized replacement parts may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! BEFORE each use, make sure all nuts and bolts are secure. CHECK the treestand and
all hardware, cables, attachment points, and webbing prior to every use to make sure no damage
has occurred. Keep webbing from coming into contact with any sharp edges. DO NOT USE THIS
PRODUCT IF ANY DAMAGE IS SEEN OR SUSPECTED ON THE TREESTAND OR ANY OF ITS
COMPONENTS. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
