Step 5. Tie and overhand knot in the safety rope approximately one
foot under the prussic hitch as shown in Figure 16. This will help
maintain your position on the safety rope in the event of a fall.
Step 6. Slide the prussic hitch up the safety rope to a comfortable
hunting position as shown in Figure 17. NOTE: This is an
adjustable safety rope. Always adjust the safety rope to minimize
the slack needed for hunting. WARNING: NEVER allow more
than 24 inches total combined slack in the rope and tether strap (See
Figure 17 again).
Part 3. Using the Supplied Climbing belt:
If you purchased the Copperhead Compact, Basic/Trophy/Comfort
System, Deer Deck or Deer Deck Like non-climbing treestand, you
received a lineman’s style climbing belt. Your harness has loops sewn
on the sides of the harness belt. These loops allow you to use the
harness as a lineman’s-style climbing belt. This will assist you while
ascending and descending, installing climbing sticks and installing
your hang-on treestand.
Step 1. Insert the sewn end of the strap through one of the loops on
the Summit Harness belt as shown in Figure 18.
Step 2. Bring the strap around your back and thread it through the
other loop on the Harness belt. See Figure 19.
Step 3. Run the belt around the tree and thread it through the buckle
as shown in Figure 20.
Step 4. To adjust the climbing belt, pull on the loose tag end to
tighten and lift up on the buckle to lengthen. See Figure 21 and
Figure 22.
Step 5. As you ascend and descend the tree you will be able to stay
attached to your safety harness by using the extra climbing strap as a
lineman’s climbing strap. You will alternate from climbing strap to
safety rope as you encounter branches or as you maneuver above your
hang-on treestand. Attach the safety rope as explained in Section 1,
Part 1: “Attaching the Safety Rope to the Tree.” Once on the
platform of your treestand, move your safety rope above your head
and secure the safety rope by pulling on the prussic hitch.
WARNING: When using a climbing treestand, DO NOT remove
your safety rope or harness from the tree until you have reached
ground level. NEVER disconnect your safety rope or climbing belt
from the tree while you are off of the ground.
When using a xed position stand, we recommend using the
“Climbing System” or secondary safety rope to increase your safety
during the ascend and descent. You can see the Summit Climbing
System (Summit PN 83014) in our catalog or on the web at
www.summitstands.com.
