3. With two people securely holding the ladder, use the three point
contact climbing method to slowly climb the ladder and carefully
keep a constant hand grip on the ladder at all times. Always lean
forward, toward tree, to keep top section tree blade against the
tree. Be certain ladder bottom is firmly seated on dry, level
ground. Attach your harness tether to the tree before securing
the platform to the tree and stepping onto platform. Refer to the
full Body harness instructions included with this product.
4. Standing on ladder step, lean toward tree with ratchet strap now in hand,
hook "S" hook with long strap through hole provided on tree blade. Feed
the long strap through the center (slot) of ratcheting mechanism and
back around through tightening lever. SEE fIGuRES 2 AND 3.
nOte: be sure you feed the long strap correctly so there are no
twists in the strap.
Wrap entire ratchet assembly around tree and hook other "S" hook
through opposite tree blade hole. Pull tail of long strap until most
of the slack is taken out. Be sure entire strap is even and at the same
level all around tree. "Ratchet" tight to tree, this will securely attach
ladder to tree and prevent movement. SEE fIGuRES 2 AND 4.
nOte: to release ratchet, simply pull the release lever and open
tightening lever wide open (flat).

with buckle ends around tree and snapping together with opposite
end. Adjust as needed.
