4. Pull the cable towards the back of the tree and
"seat" the cable stop against the back of the bracket,
as shown in figure 14. The QuickDraw cable spring
will "lock" into place behind one of the cable stops.
5. Your cable bracket should now look like figure 15.
WARNING
!
If the QuickDraw cable spring does not lock into place
behind the cable stop as shown in figure 16, DO
NOT USE THE TREESTAND since the cable can release
resulting in a user to fall! Contact summit to obtain
the proper corrective action.
6. If necessary, go to the other side of the tree and
position the other end of the cable by repeating the
steps of pulling the QuickDraw cable spring, sliding
the cable into the tubing, and assuring that the
QuickDraw cable spring has locked into position.
NOTICE
The sole purpose of the plastic coating on the
cable is to eliminate noise. After some use you
may notice some abrasions, peeling or possibly cuts
in the coating. This coating does not affect the
performance or safety of your treestand. It is there
to eliminate unnecessary noise when sliding the cable
down into the tubing.
WARNING
!
It is VERY IMPORTANT to inspect the cable on your
climbing treestand to ensure that there is no sign
of frayed, damaged or broken strands. DO NOT
USE THE CABLE IF IT HAS BROKEN OR DAMAGED
METAL STRANDS! Call immediately to order a
replacement if this should occur.

ATTACHMENT TO THE TREE
WARNING
!
Read and understand the harness usage
instructions before attempting to climb! Be sure
to maintain full body safety harness attachment to
the tree at all times after leaving the ground.
1. Attach the base platform to the tree first. To do
this, pull down and hold the QuickDraw cable spring
as shown in figure 12. This will release the locking tab
from the cable, allowing the cable to be pushed past
the locking tab.
2. Push the cable into the stand tubing until the cable
stop can be lifted up out of the bracket. The cable
should be loose at this point. You can now pull the
cable out of the stand.
3. Take one end of the cable around the tree and
begin to slide it down into the tubing as shown in
figure 13. Once the cable slides easily into the tubing
(it helps to bend the cable upward while pushing down
on it as it is inserted), you are ready to place it in its
final position.
