FREE STANDING PLATFORM STAND
SAFETY GUIDELINES – READ FIRST
READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS read and understand the manufacturer’s WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS
before using a free standing platform stand each season. If you have any questions
after reviewing the WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS, please contact the manufacturer.
Maintain the WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS for later review as needed, for
instructions on usage to anyone borrowing your stand, or to pass on when selling
this item. Use all safety devices provided with your free standing platform stand.
NEVER exceed the weight limit specified by the manufacturer.
USE A HAUL LINE
ALWAYS use a haul line to raise your backpack, gear, unloaded firearm or bow to
your free standing platform stand once you have reached your desired hunting
height. Never climb with anything in your hands or on your back. Prior to
descending, lower your equipment on the side of the platform opposite of your
descent route.
REPLACE DAMAGED PARTS AND STANDS
ALWAYS inspect the free standing platform stand for signs of wear or damage before
each use. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts. Destroy all products that
cannot be repaired by the manufacturer. Destroy products if the manufacturer no
longer exists.
BE PREPARED AHEAD OF
TIME
ALWAYS let others know your exact hunting location, when you plan to return and
who is with you before you go hunting. Hunt with a buddy – it’s more enjoyable and
you’ll have someone to help if an emergency situation arises.
CARRY EMERGENCY SIGNAL DEVICES
ALWAYS carry emergency signal devices such as a cell phone, two-way radio, whistle,
signal flare, PLD (personal locator device) and flashlight on your person at all times and
within reach. Watch for changing weather conditions. In the event of an accident,
remain calm and seek help immediately.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
ALWAYS know your physical limitations. Don’t take chances.
DON’T RUSH – BE SAFE!
NEVER hurry! While climbing, make slow, even movements of no more than ten to
twelve inches at a time. Make sure you have proper contact with the ladder every time
you move. When using any stand with a ladder or steps, maintain three points of
contact with each step. This means having two hands and one foot (or one hand and
two feet) in contact at all times.
ON
LY USE CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT
NEVER use homemade or permanently elevated stands. NEVER make modifications to a
purchased free standing platform stand without the manufacturer’s written permission.
Only purchase and use free standing platform stands that meet or exceed industry
standards recognized by
TMA. For a detailed list of products that are certified to industry standards recognized
by TMA, contact the TMA office or refer to the TMA web site at www.tmastands.com.
