TROPHY CHAIR ASSEMBLY (continued)
Step 4. Position the Arm Support and Seat Post as
shown in Figure 2. Secure with two 3/4” bolts and lock
nuts. Wrench tighten.
Step 5. Position the Support rod as shown in Figure 2.
Secure each side using one 3/4” bolt with lock nuts. Do
not overtighten as this connection is designed to pivot.
The Seat Frame should slide and pivot. If it does not,
slightly loosen bolt.
Step 7. Position seat then slide it down onto the Arm
Support Bar as shown in Figure 3.
Step 8. Use two self tapping screws to secure the seat
webbing to the Arm Support bar. Run the screws in
from the side as shown in Figure 4. A powered screw
driver works best for this step.
Step 9. Position the arm rest pads as shown in Figure 5.
The cable ties for attaching the pads are “in-line” cable
ties: Note the correct and incorrect ways of attaching.
To attach - pull the cable ties snug, cut off the excess,
and rotate the clasp to the underside of the pad. Use
two cable ties per pad.
Step 10. Push the looped end of the cam buckle strap
through the welded wire loop on the top of the Seat
Post. Loop the strap and buckle back through the sewn
loop to create a cinch knot as shown in Figure 6.

We recommend that your Trophy Chair be removed and stored in a dry place when not in use.
The powdercoat finish applied at the factory is very durable and should only need touch ups in areas of heavy wear or accidental
impact.
Should you damage any part of your Summit Treestand, contact your nearest authorized Summit dealer or the factory to obtain
the proper corrective action procedure and/or replacement parts for the treestand.
Look for nicks, gouges, cuts, cracks, bends, corrosion or similar damage that can be the result of improper use or accidental
damage. For instance, this could occur if someone else used the treestand without knowledge of its proper use, or if the
treestand were dropped, hit by a motor vehicle or subject to corrosive conditions, etc.
Summit Treestands have the highest structural integrity by design, material selection and manufacturing techniques, but as its
owner, only your continued care will assure trouble free performance. When the above-mentioned guidelines are followed, your
Summit Treestand will provide years of successful hunting.
