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 blades 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.

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).
