FIELD INSTALLATION - LADDERSTANDS
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. (fig. 1) After assembling
the ladder, insert snap pins in every joint to secure.
NOTE: If your ladder has Safety Sleeves (CR4850-S)
please refer to page 94.
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 rear frame
support and pulling through its looped end. (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. (fig. 3) once
elevated completely, carefully pull the
base away from the tree until the sitting
& standing platforms are parallel to the
ground. (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 adjustable
support bar for CR4200-S and CR4850-S should be attached to the highest ladder
rung that is reachable from the ground. The other support bars should be attached to
receivers on the middle ladder section. Adjust the length so that the tree piece fits
snugly to the tree, providing rigid support to the ladder; insert snap pin or bolt cap to
secure. once you have set the adjustable support bar, use the rope to secure it to the
tree. (See pages 94-95). NOTE: No support bar is included or required for CR5020-S
STEP 6. When the ladderstand is level and the adjustable 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. (fig. 5)
