If necessary to use a climbing belt for the
eld installation of your treestand (as per the specic
Instructions for your specic treestand model), feed the
climbing belt through one of the waist loops and wrap the
free end around the tree. Then feed opposite end through
the opposite waist loop and use 3 bar buckle method
described in Fig 4 to secure. (see Fig. 5)
Once you have reached your desired height, insert
the tree belt through the loop of the tether. (see Fig. 6) Then,
carefully wrap the tree belt around the tree at a height that
allows just enough slack for you to sit comfortably in your
stand. Keeping the tether as short as possible limits the
distance you will travel . . . in the unlikely event you should
experience a fall. To secure the tree belt, insert free end up
through the slot in the buckle closest to opposite end of the tree belt, then cross over the sliding
mechanism and back down through opposite slot. Pull on tree belt to secure and test to make sure
sliding mechanism engages, creating secure tree belt placement. (see Fig. 7, 8, 9)
