WARNING

This product carries strict height and weight restrictions. 

Do Not use this product if you exceed the total weight 

limit. Please note that the total weight limit includes the

WARNING

When hunting from a treestand falls can occur any 

time after leaving the ground causing injury or death.
Always
 wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) comprising a full 

body harness at all times after leaving the ground. You 

must stay connected at all times after leaving the ground 

while using climbing and hang-on treestands. Single 

safety belts and chest harnesses are no longer allowed 

and shall never be used. If you are not wearing a full body 

harness properly attached to the tree that is protecting 

you from a fall, do not leave the ground.
Read and understand all of the manufacturer’s Warnings 

and Instructions and use all safety devices provided by 

the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for any 

questions. Failure to do so could result in injury or death.
Never exceed the total weight limit of the treestand.
Never use a treestand during inclement weather such as 

rain, lightning, windstorms or icy conditions and end your 

hunt and return to the ground if inclement conditions arise.
Never use a treestand while using drugs (even 

prescription drugs) or alcohol.
Never use a treestand while feeling ill, nauseous or dizzy, 

or if you have a prior medical condition that could cause 

a problem, that is, heart condition, joints that lock-up, 

spinal fusions, etc., or if you are not well rested. Never 

sleep in stand.
Never use a treestand on a dead, leaning, diseased or 

loose barked tree, or a utility pole. Always avoid electrical  

power lines.
Never rely on a tree branch for support.

WARNING

Never jump or bounce on a treestand to seat it to the tree.
Pull up a bow, backpack, or firearm or other equipment 

only after being secure in the treestand and a firearm 

must be pulled up with it unloaded, chamber open, and 

muzzle down.
Always inform someone of the hunting location, where 

the treestand will be located and the expected duration 

of the hunt.
A signal device such as a mobile phone, radio, whistle, 

signal flare or personal locator device (PLD) must be on 

your person and readily available at all times.
Inspect the treestand and all safety devices each time 

before use and Do Not store a treestand outdoors when 

not in use.
Never modify your treestand in any way by making 

repairs, replacing parts, or altering it except if explicitly 

authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Practice installing, adjusting and using your treestand at 

ground level prior to using it at elevated positions. Study 

your new stand to become familiar with all of its features 

and design. Doing so will confirm that the product is 

manufactured, assembled and installed correctly.
Instructions (written and video) shall be kept in a safe place 

and reviewed at least annually. It is the responsibility of 

the treestand owner to furnish the complete instructions 

to any person who borrows or purchases the treestand.
Use at least three (3) people to install or take down a 

ladder treestand.
The criss-cross straps/ropes and stabilization devices 

must be attached before climbing to the platform.
When installing a ladder stand, always bounce on the 

first rung to set the ladder into the ground according to 

manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding to climb 

any higher.
Check every ladder section connection every time you 

use the stand before you leave the ground. If ladder 

sections are separating, do not use the stand.
Check the ground under the stand to make sure it is firm 

and level. Sloping ground or uneven surface (one side on 

a rock) can cause your ladder to tilt or shift off the tree as 

you climb.
Always maintain three (3) points of contact when 

climbing a ladder treestand. Proper three-point contact 

means having either two feet with one hand or one foot 

with two hands on the step portion of the ladder or 

climbing aid at all times.
