How to Fold a Stealth Ascent Climbing Tree Stand

The Stealth Ascent Climbing Tree Stand is the perfect accessory for hunting, due to its comfortable seat and durable frame. Read all safety instructions before using the tree stand, and follow them accordingly. Test the stand and practice with it at ground level before using it while climbing up the tree. Wear all safety harnesses at all times when using the product. This versatile tree stand can be packaged up and turned into a backpack carrying piece, making it easy to take along on any hunting trip.

Instructions

1. Assemble the seat platform and foot platform (if you have not already done so) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Attach the backpack straps to the foot platform. To do so, start from the bottom side of the foot platform and insert the backpack straps up and through it.

3. Insert the other end of the backpack strap through the loop you have created and pull it tight.

4. Insert the loose end of the strap through the support bar at the opposite end.

5. 

   Place the end of the strap through the clip. Loop the strap around and through the second slot of the clip and pull it tight. Repeat for the second strap so there is one on each side.

6. Slide the foot platform into the seat platform. The seat cushion will be on the outside of the foot platform, to serve as a cushion against your back with the back straps pulled out. The metal loops will be facing away from your back and at the bottom.

7. Wrap the lock strap around the frame where all supports meet. Make sure the strap is connected with the cables, so everything will tighten properly.

8. 

   Pull the lock strap around and through the other end, wrapping it around the same part of the frame. Insert the end of the long strap through the buckle strap that is connected to the other cable. Pull the long strap until it is tight, securing the platforms together.

9. 

   Insert your arms into the back straps. Your tree stand is now folded, packed and ready to go.
