Operator's Manual
Rivers Edge One-Man Ladder Stands
e. Wrap the previously attached tie-off ropes hanging down from platform,
around the back side of tree in opposite directions of each other. Pull the ropes
snug and tie them to the ladder at the stabilizer bar height location. This ground
level ladder-to-tree attachment will prevent the ladder from pulling away from
the tree while ascending to top for final ratchet strap attachment. The same
holds true when ladder removal is necessary. SEE fIGuRE 4a and 4 b.
notE: during installation and removal of ladder treestand, you must always
and properly use the included Full body harness (Fall arrest System). Refer to
the Full body harness instructions included with this product for proper use.
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(s) 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 5a/5b AND 6.
notE: be sure to feed the long strap correctly so there are no twists in the strap.
