1. Reattach your treestand platform to your feet.
Back your heel into the bungee heel cord (figure 28)
then slide your boot under the RapidClimb stirrup.
Make sure that your boot is secure under the stirrup
as shown in figure 29.
2. Disconnect the elastic cord that has been holding
the foam seat in place and fold the seat up. Secure
the backrest and seat as shown in figure 30.
Disconnect and store the strap that has held the seat
frame to the tree (figure 31).
3. Place the seat climber at about knee level, grasp
the upright arms and rest your weight on the two
arms as you did when climbing (see figure 32).
4. While firmly grasping the seat climber upright
arms, disengage the platform by lifting up and tipping
the edge closest to the tree downward. Once the
platform has been dislodged, you can lower it down
(see figure 33). Make slow, even movements of 10-12
inches at a time.
5. To re-engage, rotate the top edge of the treestand
closest to the tree upwards. Now carefully place your
weight back on the platform.
WARNING
!
DO NOT JUMP OR BOUNCE ON THE PLATFORM OR
SEAT to attempt to cause it to "dig" into the tree. It
is not necessary and may cause you to inadvertently
disengage the platform or seat.
6. Once the platform is secure, stand and slide your
safety harness tether strap down to about chest
height and repeat steps 3-6 until you have reached
the bottom of the tree.
