Instruction manual

STEP 1. Select a healthy and straight tree. Remove all dead branches or limbs that will be in the
way prior to setting up this ladderstand.
STEP 2. Assemble ladder sections to the main section. Note:
All ladder sections will be assembled with the narrow section
facing upward and all larger ends (sleeves) facing downward.
(see fig. 1) After assembling the ladder, insert snap pins in every
joint to secure.
STEP 3.Attach the (2) stabilizer straps to each side of the rear
frame support (near the bark biters). Secure straps by wrapping
strap around support and pulling through its looped end. (see
fig. 2) Then, firmly tie straps to a lower-level ladder rung. NOTE:
Do not attempt to install your ladderstand without the straps
firmly tied to the ladder.
STEP 4. Place the ladderstand flat on the ground in front of
the tree with the bottom ladder section approximately 2 feet
away from the base of the trunk. Then with at least 3 adults,
gently raise the ladderstand to a vertical position
allowing the bark biters to come into direct
contact with the tree. (see fig. 3) Once elevated
completely, carefully pull the base away from the
tree until the sitting & standing platforms are
parallel to the ground. (see fig. 4)
WARNING! You must have three (3) adults
to install or remove your stand from the tree.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious injury or death!
STEP 5. Attach the adjustable support bar to
the ladderstand. NOTE: The support bar should
be attached to the highest ladder rung that is
reachable from the ground.Adjust the length so
that the tree piece fits snugly to the tree
providing rigid support to the ladder; insert snap pin to secure. Once you have set the support bar,
use the rope to secure it to the tree. NOTE: A SUPPORT BAR IS NOT INCLUDED OR NECESSARY
FOR THE CR5010-S LADDERSTAND.
STEP 6. When the ladderstand is level and the support bar is secure, untie the stabilizer straps from
the ladder section. Crisscross stabilizer straps behind the tree trunk pulling them snug.Then, secure
each stabilizer strap by tying several firm knots around a middle section ladder rung. NOTE: Tie the
stabilizer straps as high as you can reach while standing safely on the ground. (see fig. 5, Page 70)
WARNING! The two (2) stabilizer straps must be attached and tightened prior to climbing to
attach the platform(s) ratchet straps. Additionally, the adjustable support bar(s) and the adjustable
support bar(s) rope or ratchet (depending on model) must be installed prior to climbing to install
the platform(s) ratchet(s). Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Prior to climbing, make sure that all the ladders sections are firmly connected with
the proper hardware in place. Make sure none of the sections have become separated. If they are,
do not climb the ladder.With the help of two other adults, lower the stand back down to the ground
and reattach the ladder rungs and reinstall the hardware in the manner previously described. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
