UMBILICAL CORD
WARNING
!
It is required that the seat and foot platforms MUST
BE attached to each other with the umbilical cord, as
shown in figure 13 and figure 14 before climbing.
The included umbilical cord attaches the seat platform
to the foot platform. In the event that control of the
platforms are lost, the platforms will only fall the length
of the umbilical cord. This should allow you to retrieve
the platforms and re-seat them onto the tree.
1. Loop the umbilical cord around the foot platform
yoke and push the free end through to make a cinch
knot as shown in figure 13.
2. Bring the cord up and loop it around the seat platform yoke. Attach the clip back to the cord as shown in figure 14.
3. The foot platform should now be connected to the seat platform.
Once you are at ground level, for easier backpacking, un-clip the cord and wrap it around the foot platform yoke.
DO NOT attempt to climb without the matching set of foot and seat platform
assemblies. The Seat Platform assembly is designed to aid you in correct operation of
the treestand. It is designed to support the rated weight limit of the user and gear
as you climb. NEVER exceed the rated weight limit of your treestand.
NEVER BOUNCE OR JUMP ON THE FOOT PLATFORM OR SEAT PLATFORM IN AN
ATTEMPT TO SECURE THE STAND TO THE TREE OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON. DOING
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE TREESTAND CAUSING THE PRODUCT TO BE OVER-LOADED,
WHICH COULD RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TREESTAND, AND COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!!
DO NOT TIP YOUR WEIGHT ONTO YOUR TOES unless you are ready to move the
foot platform. This will tend to disengage the foot platform from the tree. TAKE
YOUR TIME! Use short controlled movements.
