WARNING! Prior to attempting to use this or any other product(s) you must take a moment
and become familiar with its assembly, setup and installation. You must practice installing,
setting-up and using your full-body fall arrest harness and its components (i.e., lanyard/tether,
tree belt, suspension relief device, climbing belt/lineman's belt [as applicable]) at ground-
level prior to attempting to use it at heights above ground-level. Once you have become
thoroughly knowledgeable and comfortable with this product(s) setup, installation and use
at ground-level, you are now ready to use it at heights above ground-level. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must wear a Fall Arrest System (FAS) comprising of a full-body fall arrest
harness, lanyard/tether, tree belt, suspension relief device, and climbing belt/lineman's belt
(as applicable) at all times after leaving the ground. You must stay connected at all times
after leaving the ground while using xed position treestands. Single safety belts and chest
harnesses are no longer preferred and should never be used. If you are not wearing a full-
body fall arrest harness (that is connected to the tree) that is protecting you from a fall, do
not leave the ground. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! You must practice putting the full-body fall arrest harness on, adjusting and
using your full-body fall arrest harness and it's components (i.e., lanyard/tether, tree belt,
suspension relief device, climbing belt/lineman's belt [as applicable]) at ground-level in the
presence of a responsible adult to experience the feeling of hanging suspended before
using in a hunting environment. This experience will ensure you remain calm and collected
should you experience a fall while hunting. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious injury or death!
WARNING! The length of the full-body fall arrest harness lanyard/tether must be kept to
a minimum at all times during use. It should be adjusted so that it is above the head with
no slack (snug) in the sitting position and you should have the minimum amount of slack
possible when climbing. Never let the tether strap get under your chin or around your neck.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
